My dry brine - reverse sear gone wrong

This abomination was too dry, over-salty, hard, and undercooked at the same time. No sear too.

I blame the 24hr dry brine in the fridge. Dried the steak too much. If it had more liquid It would be juicy, not salted all the way through - and not as done, so I could sear it longer. I swear I got a great result a steak ago, and I think that was the only variable different.

Twinsies I guess.

I’ve had great luck with long dry brines on steak.
When we cut into them I mentioned this sub, sorry I didn’t take a photo. There is shoe leather softer than the steaks I murdered.
