Salt water is used as a brine to improve the flavor and texture of meat. It can also be used as a preservative to keep it from spoiling as fast.

Does BBQ meat that is marinated need salt before or after cooking?

BBQ meat that is marinated doesn't really need salt before cooking. If you are cooking any kind of BBQ meat grill it first then add as much salt that you think it needs. Some people don't like as much salt as others.Another answer:A lot depends on if there's salt in your marinade. If there is, no additional salting is required, and you should salt to taste at the table. If, however, you don't have salt in your marinade, you may or may not choose to include salt in your rub -- I personally don't, preferring to salt at the table.HOWEVER --if you mean grillade and not real BBQ, then you do want to salt the surface of the meat. As salt is hygroscopic, this will draw blood and its ingredient proteins to the surface, which will let you invoke a Maillard Reaction, which nicely browns the meat.

If you were to grill a steak would it be better to put salt on it before or after you cooked it Explain why in terms of osmosis?

I would salt at least 40 minutes before cooking under the grill, allowing the salt to dissolve into the meat. If time doesn't allow, I would salt just before grilling, allowing the salt to remain on the surface.
