According to Kitchn, you should use one teaspoon of salt per pound of steak to really season it well from the outside. For those who prefer to eyeball it, Bon Appétit suggests using enough to coat the steak well without allowing multiple layers of salt to build up on the meat.
How much salt do you put on a thick steak?
Salt draws out moisture, but as the steak air dries (more on that below), that salty moisture is reabsorbed, softening the proteins and seasoning the meat all the way through. To season a 1 1/2-inch thick, bone-in steak, use 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt or coarse sea salt and 1 teaspoon ground pepper.
Sprinkle 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of kosher salt or sea salt on each side of the steak. Let it sit at room temperature for about an hour. If the steak is less than 1 inch, let it sit for 30-45 minutes.
