Step 2) Place your steak on a cooling rack and use fine salt to lightly brine the steak. 

Never use this step for Skirt Steak due to high salt content.

Step 3) Place your salted steak in the fridge anywhere from 30 minutes to 24 hours. 

If you're looking to build extra crust and flavor feel free to brine from up to 48 hours!

Step 4) Upon removing the steak from the fridge use a paper towel to wipe excess salt and moisture from the steak.

The dryer the steak the better the sear!

Step 5) Heat a pan to medium/high heat and cut a small piece of white fat off your steak in place of oil or margarine. 

Using the wagyu fat in place of oil will act as a beef tallow during the searing process.
