I was talking to some people, and some people say that salt draws moisture from your meat, while others say it doesn't. Can I get some of your thoughts on this subject ? Thanks
Does Salt draw moisture ?

Yes, it does. But some of that moisture is drawn back into the meat along with some of the salt and whatever seasonings you included with the salt, and that flavors the meat!

If you want some of the best grilled steaks you will ever eat, salt them heavily with kosher salt and crushed garlic and let them sit for about 20 minutes. Then, wash off all the salt and garlic, pat them dry with paper towels, and cover them with fresh ground black pepper. Then, grill them with high heat.
Tasty, tasty steaks. The salt removes some moisture, which is a good thing since water is a flavor killer, but then it pulls flavor back inside.

Thanks, its interesting that it gets drawn back into the meat. Sounds a little to scientific for me !
Have a great day. Going to have to try them steaks Joe.
