There are two good options: season right before cooking, or season at least 40 minutes ahead and let the steak dry brine.
A dry brine gives the salt time to pe*****te the meat, helping improve flavor and retain moisture as it cooks. The one time you want to avoid is the in-between. Salt draws moisture to the surface, and without enough time to reabsorb, it can work against the result you’re after. Great steak isn’t just about heat. It’s about timing.
