Here's a simple carnivore friendly brine with a really nice smoky flavor. This is especially good if you want a bit of smoke, but you only have time to cook the meat inside(like the air fryer!).
Add salt and fish sauce, stir until salt is melted
Remove from heat and let cool
Pour In Container, ziplock bag, or vacuum chamber sealer bag (See below)
a. Optional- If you have a vacuum chamber sealer this is a great option to get the brine into the meat.
Add meat, ensure it's covered completely with brine.
Cover, place in refrigerator
Brine for around 4 hours or 1 hour per pound of meat - whichever you desire.
Rinse meat thoroughly, and proceed to season and cook as desired.
Notes
*Increase recipe as required to be able to completely cover the meat.Some folks don't like the fish sauce, but it really does add a great flavor that's ironically NOT fishy at all! If you don't like it, don't add it! :)
