Extra Tender Steak - Tip of the Day

Want to tenderize that steak without beating it with a mallet?

A tip from Slashfood's summer grilling expert Gena Knox:

For extra tender steak, salt your meat before cooking.

Don't worry about the salt. Red meats absorb salt at a very slow rate of one inch per seven days, so you needn't be concerned about the steak retaining -- and you consuming -- too much sodium.
