Brining is placing meat or poultry in salted water in order that it retains more moisture when cooked. E.g., brining a turkey for 12 or more hours means that after cooking it will keep more than 15% more moisture than an unbrined turkey. This method works well on pork and poultry.
Salting is the method to use on beef and a few other meats.
Following are suggested brining and salting times for most cuts.

Thoroughly rinse meat or poultry after brining. I discard the brine, and run cool water over the meat or poultry in the sink for at least 5 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels
After salting meat or poultry, proceed to cook it with other seasonings that don't contain salt. If they do, rinse meat briefly and pat dry.
Resting: All meats and poultry benefit from resting them under an aluminum foil tent or other cover for 20-30 minutes. During this time the juices, which have gone to the center, will release back to the outside. Brisket is better rested 1 or more hours.
A Note on Hamburgers: After forming patties, indent your thumb into the top of each one, creating a little hole. During cooking, the juices flow to the center and fill the hole. Also, do not mash the patties with a spatula, which only drives out the moisture. After cooking, rest the burgers 15-20 minutes in a pan and cover them with foil. See how much more moist and juicy they are.
