Someone brought it up with the brisket, but I usually cover mine in a layer of real mayo. Then season. Get my cast iron skillet really really hot with a quite a bit of butter in it and then "fry" it for about 2 minutes on each side and then lower the heat. I've found that that first sear does a good job of keeping the moisture in. The mayo creates a little bit of a "crust" if you will.
Take that steak swimming!...LOL! Be backstroking in that butter and mayo, gotta be some yanke3e steak cooks on here...won't be no meat taste
