How to turn a cheap cut into a fantastic steak!
And here's her secret:
Salt the steak like mad for 1 hour before you cook it!
Not sprinkle, or daub. She means nearly cover the steak with salt for an hour, then wash and pat dry.
This isn't even a secret, it's a tip that cooks and chefs have known for ages, but only now, with the internet, can we really disseminate the information.
Spread the word!

Let's go!
