Some things you discover. Others… you create.
FastBrine wasn’t launched — it was earned.
Forged through obsession, tested in real kitchens, grills, and chosen by people who thought they’d already had the best steak of their lives — until they tried this.
Because once you experience it — the juiciness, the tenderness, the way the flavor seems to ignite — there’s no going back.
This isn’t just better.
It’s a whole new category of meat perfection.
FastBrine began with a single question:
What if anyone — anywhere — could cook a steak better than any steakhouse?
Patrick Augustini, a lifelong CPG executive and innovator, made it his mission to answer that.
Not with a fancy gadget. Not with some chef secret.
But with a ritual — fast, repeatable, and wildly effective.
What he invented wasn’t seasoning. It wasn’t just brine.
It was a breakthrough.

Originally launched as a test brand under the name August Steak — a quiet tribute to Patrick’s family legacy — the response was staggering.
Thousands of people tried it. They didn’t just like it — they reordered. They replaced their old methods. They called it “game-changing.”
Most said it was the best meat they’d ever had.
That runaway approval caught the attention of McLaurit, the modern food company built to redefine how we eat.
McLaurit didn’t just acquire August Steak. Together, they leveled it up.
They transformed a promising cult product into FastBrine — the fastest, cleanest, most high-performance way to achieve flawless results on red meat.
But make no mistake:
This is not seasoning. Not marinade. Not shortcut.
FastBrine is its own thing — a precision-formulated dry brine engineered to lock in juices, enhance tenderness, and unlock flavor so deep, you won’t even think about adding butter, sauce, or anything else.
It makes meat so good, so consistently, it doesn’t just improve your cook — It rewrites your standards.
Anyone can now cook better than a steakhouse — with nothing but fire, meat, and FastBrine.
This is the next evolution in meat mastery.
FastBrine was engineered to do what no method, product, or technique has ever truly delivered: Total flavor lock, peak juiciness, and crusted sear depth in minutes.
It’s not a seasoning. Not a marinade. Not just salt. Not a rub.
FastBrine is its own thing. A precision-formulated dry brine ritual that rewrites what’s possible with red meat — and how fast you can get there.
Once you’ve tasted the FastBrine effect, everything else feels like a compromise.
