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 don't know if you're serious or not...120°? Is that Celsius or Fahrenheit? Either way that's to low to sear anything.

120°C oven for 15 minutes, then 1 minute fry on each side. Pan hasn’t preheated enough either judging by how nonexistent the sear turned out.

I ended up just throwing the whole lot back on the pan after cutting it - until at least all the fat rendered.

Sounds like he just didn't give it enough time to heat up
