Is this normal? My dad leaving a raw steak uncovered in the fridge

Yes, he’s dry brining so the flavors sink in and the outside is dryer for a better sear.
Well-meant
Yeah dude. Dry brine. It makes the outside develop a great crust when you grill it because it dries a bit overnight. Just make sure he doesn’t do it for more than 24hrs. It begins to devalue the flavor, the more time it spends in there beyond that. Also, I recommend some type of metallic grate to raise it off the bottom of that Tupperware. More surface area is exposed to air which helps better dry the exterior.

Butterscotch pudding too? Hell yeah

It’s fine. That’s how you dry brine. Salt draws moisture up so letting it circulate helps keep it dry.

Dry brining. Dont worry about bacteria. Salt is preserving it and it food was preserved just like this to an extent before refrigerators. Its fine and itll improve the cook
My fridge right now. Yes, it is absolutely normal, and may I say absolutely key to making a great steak.

Aside from the dry brining, if your dad’s fridge is below 40 degrees (most fridges are set at 37) it’s perfectly fine.

Yes but not in a Tupperware container get the man a metal oven rack thing or something to get the bottom not sitting in juice

Its normal, but its not normal, to make a picture of it and ask reddit, before asking your dad or spending 1 min to google dry brining …

Dry aging technique, it would be better to put it on a metal grate. The less surface area touching something the better.

That’s completely safe lmao. No need to worry unless something fell ON TOP OF the steak. Germs won’t magically jump off of the steak. Just don’t let anything touch it and you’ll be good

Could use more air exposure actually to achieve ideal desiccation.

Dry brining. Most people I know do it with a metallic grate so air flows under the steak. Excellent way of steaking and is a must-try for anybody aiming for an excellent crust.

Your dad must be so disappointed in you.
