3 Answers. There are different ‘camps’ when it comes to seasoning but essentially If you season meat too early before cooking, the salt will draw out the moisture, meaning a less juicy piece of meat, however if you season just before cooking the seasoning will help to impart flavour into the meat.

When ground beef is cooked, it changes color from red to pink to brown. If the meat is already brown, it will not change color during cooking.
