  • Love lime and when you combine it with steaks it's just amazing! So today I dry aged steaks with lime zest for 35 days and the results are in. I did not expect these steaks to turn out like this.

    • @leonardopab5
      @leonardopab5 2 года назад +28

      That is a good idea!
      IMO, dry aging with butter was not a good choice. Since butter is basically fat, it doesn't allow moisture to escape.
      The bad smell may have come from that accumulated moisture between the butter and the meat, which allowed fermenting bacteria to grow. That also may be the reason why it was so tender, since the bacteria produce enzymes that break down meat.
      Next time, he might find interesting to consider using only the lemon zest, and nothing too fatty in a dry age experiment.

    You can use lime leaves in cooking. The zest is full of oils, they are quite volatile and will spoil quickly. they probably were starting to make the butter turn rancid as well.

    Thank you for the excellent videos. I have learned a lot so far and am using some of your ideas. Best wishes to you and your family for a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2022.
    I have a suggestion based on what one of my relatives was talking about. He is a beef brisket enthusiast and he covers the brisket with a special butcher paper called peach or pink paper. With that wrapping, he uses a "barbecue", which I assume is a smoker because of the long cooking time. This might work for you as an experiment. For example, a favorite method vs. special paper wrapping.
    Best wishes!

  • @alexanderortiz1185
    @alexanderortiz1185 2 года назад

    Loved this video, I liked the topic they touched on about describing dry age taste. You can describe the taste but its not about taste at all. I believe the dry age adds more of a fragrance. That fragrance or smell all goes into the taste factor. Your nose and mouth are very connected, this is why garlic is such a great ingredient as well. Not only does garlic have a profound smell, but it has a complimentary taste that isn't crisp its subtle and coats the mouth. That's why it heightens dishes and pairs well with many meats. I believe dry aging falls under the same affect, very fragrant and subtle, building different notes within the meat.

  • @JaStulla

      You can get the root fresh from some places. I'd suggest getting it from Azman Quality meats in Euclid OH. They'll deliver if you call.
      Also grab some Zelodec (pronounced zhel-oh-dits) and Klobasa sausage from them while you're at it (the biggest reason I'm recommending them). You'll thank me later.

    *If I could ask Guga:* Is it possible to use dry aging bags (vacuum sealed) on the lime zest steak? Or is the butter/open air rack method better??
    Edit: Got your voice in my head saying "butter is better" 😆

    • @dilupus
      @dilupus 2 года назад +29

      The bags work by binding to the outside of the steak. Putting the lime on means the bag won't be able to bind to the steak, and won't properly work. You can wet age the steak with a regular vacuum bag, and you might get similar results, though. That said, the butter kind of works as a binder here to keep the zest on the steak.

      Use a tiny amount of paste made with water in a mortar and pestle or food processor, cover well but only a fine layer. The umi bags still work as long as the paste is only a moist coating.

    I would love to see a dry age experiment done using mushrooms if you have the time... They go so well with a beef wellington, or steak in general. So I'm super curious as to how a steak or fillet would taste, after using mushrooms when dry aging.
    Kind regards,

    Nice experiment. I really think you can try these experiment drying the "special" ingredient and turning it into powder before coating the meat(and maybe inserting the steak in the umai bag, or coating it with a butter/powder mixture, or simply in the fridge, your choice). The moisture in the zest I think has a negative effect on the process, my two cents

    I don’t know how doable this would be, but I’d love to see you age steaks using traditional cheese rind methods. It’d be crazy to steaks covered in a bloomy rind using penicillium candidum, camemberti or glaucum, or a washed rind, using B.linens. It would require a lot more work than your usual aging experiments - affineurs need to tend to their cheeses daily - but if it yielded anything even edible, I feel like it would be a landmark moment in gastronomy.

    I think that lime flavor might work better with a different type of meat, like pork. Or maybe turkey.
    I think I remember Guga dry-aging a chicken before, and using lime zest for that sounds tempting, but I'd be really iffy about that because chicken just goes bad so easily, and you're not exactly starting with a huge slab of meat, there, so there might not be much left once you trim the pellicles and get those stinky parts off. Pork butts and turkey breasts can get pretty big, though.

    My best guess is that the essential oils in the zest shifted the balance of the dry aging bacteria in the meat, promoting rotting on the surface but acidification in the meat itself. The juiciness is probably from the butter trapping in all of the moisture, which may have also have contributed to the microflora balance.
    Would be interesting to see the zest trapped between the meat & an Umai membrane bag compared to this.

    Something I always wondered with these dry ageing experiments is what happens if you put the stuff into the umai dry bag together with the steak sort of like a sous vide marinade? I think one of the videos you tried a cheese cloth, but I guess maybe using the bag AND something like lime zest kind of defeats the purpose of the experiment because you're looking for alternatives to the bag?

    It’s fairly recently that umami has become regularly used in parts of the western world.

    If not, then I think it should be “funky”. A fantastic English word!
    Salty, sweet, sour, bitter, umami, funky. Perfect!
    Parmesan cheese might have umami, but Stilton cheese and dry-aged steak has funky!

    now I have a question:
    if you used the zest dry age expmeriment as control, and the other steak you dry aged regulary then before you cook it you marinated with lime juice for an hour or so, would the taste be different?
    someone suggested freeze-drying the ingredients then using it as a dry age paste with butter or any other adhesive, so you can add a 3rd experiment:
    after taking away the zest, you will be left with plenty of limes, so i you freeze-dry these limes, then used their powder for dry aging (with butter as an adhesive), that would make for a good 3rd experiment.
    good thing about this triple experiments is that you are almost sure 2 of them are going to be good, the 3rd one (freeze-dryed limes as a dry aging agent) is the questionable one.

    The zest doing that makes sense. Most of the oils, that are most likely on the leaves as well. I don't know for sure I'm not a botanist. Are in the rind. The juice is more acidic but those oils have a higher concentration of flavor compounds. Why I assume it tastes bad, cause it overwhelms your taste buds..Unless you honey them or whatever.
