It's because of the process called Osmosis. In a hypertonic cellular environment has greater solute concentration than that inside of the cell.
In response to this difference in solute concentrations, water diffuses out of the cell. The water is a suitable place to live by bacterias. These bacterias could spoil the meat so they put salt which is a great solute concentration that it diffuses out the water in the cell to prevent it from spoiling.
