I salted my ribeye's for 24 hours and it didn't do anything special. When I salted them for 3 hours the other day they came out a hell of a lot better.

Three hours is plenty. I like 24 because it tends to tenderize a bit. |

It was tender, but not juicy. I cooked it medium rare too. I'll stick to the 3 hours from now on. At $13.99 a lb for ribeye's I felt like I wasted $30. |
FIIIIIGHT! FIIIIGHT!

A food fight!

What kind of salt did you use? |

My smoked kosher salt |

You screwed it up. Mine never turn out not juicy. :harumph: Nah, seriously, what you're doing is plenty of time to carry out it's purpose. Everybody has a preference, so do what you like. Those ribeyes I made earlier in the week were salted about 28 hours in advance and were some if the best steaks I've ever made. So tender and juicy. |

I put my steaks on a cookie sheet (no cooling rack as you suggested) with nothing covering it. Do you cover your steaks? I want to say that could have been the problem. |

I do. Usually in a Ziplock or just cellophane. But always. I uncover the next day when I take them out to come to room temperature. |
I've gone to sea-salt mostly. I don't do a lot to warrant kosher. I mean - steaks I guess - but that sea salt I get is really nice and a little less messy.
I like it that it's the fine popcorn salt grind/gauge. Seems to penetrate better. |

Yeah I don't what happened then. I'll stick with the 3 hours. Room temp for 20 minutes. |
