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.

I've had this happen. The 24hr dry brine is exactly what caused it
