There is some basis for the statement, but it really is not a problem.
When preserving meat, salt is used as it helps draw out the moisture. Hams
can be cured using a mix of salt, usually with pepper, sugar, etc. This is
a process that takes days or weeks. Salting a steak for the 6 minute
cooking time is not going to have that affect.
