Brinning of beef is NOT recommended. Pork, seafood and poultry only.

Isn't brined beef "corned beef"? :)

I've never heard of brining beef the way you do pork and poultry.

You don't brine beef before or after dry aging and if you don't
know how to dry age don't do that either.

It's possible to do both, but you don't have time to dry-age it as it
needs to be done and if you don't know how to brine beef, don't. Beef
needs to be brined (if at all) rather differently than the usual
whiter meats.

So, "neither" is your answer.
