@RLKmedic0315 well that's why here in Texas baby, beef IS KING (brisket/dino ribs/ steaks) no need for bbq sauce. Other meats, anyone can take as & be proud of. But I will agree..pork is not our greatest master.
Millie, the reason you are use to dry steak is because you get it well done. The more it's cooked the less juicy it is. Steak is best at medium rare to medium.
@rmlrl1971 no necessarily. I only eat well done steak and when cooked right it is very tender. Low and slow. Most places cook it too high which dries it out so that it doesn’t take long in order to serve the entire table.
@@JACpotatosSure you will. Low temp is how you get meat (or anything) done on the inside without being overcooked on the outside (and without cooking away all the juices. A nice initial sear helps too). It's also how you cook pot roast, or pit roasts, Hawaiian pork roasts, or BBQ for that matter. Low and slow and done all the way through. Though I'm in the steak should be medium rare camp.
@@jackgilchrist 🤦 different temperatures will give different levels of doneness. If you keep it low, it's not gonna be well done... Which is a good thing. Well done meat is gross anyways. Unless You're cooking at a high enough temp to get it to well done in the first place. I cook with very precise temps when it comes to meat. It'll never be well done regardless of how long I cook it
As an American, I’m jealous you Brits get to have Texas steaks and BBQ when I’ve never tried either. Just kidding! Just means I need to get my Nebraska ass to Texas to get the real deal.
FYI. I've lived in 12 of our 50 states. Good food is not regional. I live in Texas for 4 years and that is where I had the best pizza. I lived in NY and that's where I had the best Asian food. Cincinnati was the best meal of my entire life. Washington state was the best smoke house..... You can get good food anytime, anywhere without leaving your state. Don't fall for the theme that only Texas has good BBQ. It's a false narrative.
@@Mr.KayKayJayhow did you have the best pizza in Texas? They didn’t even rank on the rating going on in the US for best pizza state. New Haven CT did lol.
@bigbcor Mom and pop places generally have better food than the hype of the places that get rated. Yes, Texas was where I had the best pizza. In The Woodlands outside of Houston.
I used to work at a restaurant many years ago that kept the prep cook busy. We could always tell his mood by the mashed potatoes. Light, fluffy potatoes = happy cook. When he was upset or peeved, the lumps had lumps.
OMG - well done --- THE HORROR!! medium rare tastes entirely different from a rare steak --- so it is your choice .... HOWEVER ...... my favorite description is to just let the ribeye!! steak walk across the coals --- warmed thru but definitely rare ----some think it is not as good as medium rare where there is a lot of marbling. However, on a hot grill you get graded rareness working from edge to middle ... best of all worlds ..... ahhh
The meats are so juicy, because they weren't overcooked. Most meat is needing to reach 165° to be done. Medium, or medium rare, is below that temperature. Beef brisket is a tough cut of meat to begin with, so it is cooked with low heat & smoke, to tenderize it.
Wearing a California tshirt in Texas is brave. 🤣🤣 I eat my steak medium rare too. And Ribeye is my favorite cut with a Porterhouse being my second fav.
There is another secret to eating juicer steaks and that is to allow them to rest after cooking. If you immediately slice it all the juices come flowing out. Give the outer crust 5-10 mins to set and keep all that juice inside and you'll be golden.
I worked at a steak chop house for a year back in the day. When somebody would ask for it to be well done, I'd go in the kitchen and have the chef offer up an end piece well done and one medium rare. It's amazing how many changed their mind. I can't remember one single person saying they'll stay with well done. Nice vid guys - happy you both enjoyed yourselves.
@@wal6377 Yeah, that is the sweet spot. Medium would probably be even better, but cooks don't all cook the same and you will get some too rare. To avoid the hassel, I order medium well too.
@@stanleymyrick4068 There's a couple of reasons they cook "differently", but it all amounts to fhe same thing. They don't want to spend that much time cooking each food item. The more time they spend cooking each item, slows them down, and if the restaurant is in full swing, people wont be happy they need to wait that long for dinner They feel they know better. This is pure arrogance (not to say the customer service aspect of what the OP tried was bad, and I DO applaud their initiative). They are afraid the customer won't like the meat cooked THAT well done, and will ask for a new steak cooked less anyways. My step father would have been someone that would have had his food sent back until they made it WELL DONE. He hated it "red" in any way, shape, or form. He would order food "burned" instead of well done. There are some people who think that asking for well done ruins a steak.
I'm so glad you are enjoying the great state of Texas! Born and raised here. Rib eye steak is my favorite. It's the juiciest because it has more fat in it than other cuts of meat.
James' mom looks like she fits in so well in TX. With her attire, her hat as seen in other videos, and her overall appearance she could seamlessly blend in with a TX crowd.

I live in Dallas, and I go to Terry Blacks every couple of months. Love those guys. Always so great to meet out of towners there at the bar. Makes a Texan feel proud.
Just to be clear, Terry Black's and Texas are not the only places in the U.S. that you can get good steak or good brisket. I've sampled neither in Texas but I've had some pretty good samples of each on the East coast.
I'm 58, worked at American Airlines and gotten to travel from coast to coast, overseas and North to South to both borders. I grew up eating BBQ. The best BBQ I've ever had was at Terry Blacks.
Your steak is what I would call medium, as medium rare should be much pinker. (Definition of medium rare is a "warm, red center". All in all, your meal looked great, but I'd limit my choice of a "steakhouse" to ones that don't even offer many of the options you had. A bit stuffier, and more pricey, but also with quality of meat that would blow you away. In any event, one of my favorites of your videos so far.
I only eat steak medium rare Grandpa was a butcher.He said steaks should be medium rare and do not use steak sauce.If you have to put steak sauce on your meat, the meats poor quality.
Your mom is absolutely BEAUTIFUL !!! Welcome to Texas, Beautiful lady and kiddo's of course . So when are y'all just going to go ahead and move the whole family on over here ?
Loved the look on both of your faces when you had the steak. Pretty sure there was a race going on, to see which one could say "OHMAHGAWD!" first!! Great post.
I am glad you folks came to Texas and got to experience our Texas way of cooking beef. To watch you all enjoy the food is rewarding. Here is the kicker. You both have to learn how to make some of the foods you enjoyed so you can make it when you go back home to England.
Best BBQ in Texas is found at road side stands and small hole in the wall family owned restaurant and not chain shops. Glad y'all enjoyed your visit to our great state.
James is feelin that beer. Awesome video like always ya'll. Its great to see visitors from different countries enjoying things we as Americans take for granted ❤😊
You guys realize, you have probably lost the sponsorship from the UK food & beverage industry . . . Right? LOL!! The menu will probably give you a hint as to what is on the wings. Pan fried steak is the absolute right way to to do some steak. Special ovens at very high temperature is another. A broiler is just an upside down grill. Some steak do better roasted.
@@dewelrivera3305 At what cost? Only reason why New York has good steak is because it's probably not New Yorkers cooking it, it's people all over the world. You're not going to find affordable good steak in New York. Places like Texas, you can hit up a small establishment in your tshirt and jeans and have good steak and BBQ, in New York it's fancy suits eating over priced steaks. Comparing a place for the super rich vs a place where it's just ordinary Americans, doesn't make sense.
@@dewelrivera3305 Got to know where you are going. Best steaks I've had were in Texas. I live in PA and go to NY all the time, and ironically the only NY steak I've had that compared was from a Texas BBQ place that movies to NY.
Love your videos and enthusiasm. I have vacationed in every part of Texas over the years and whether served seafood on the coast or steaks and barbeque elsewhere, the food is always great.
For juicy steak: Salt a healthy amount or marinade the steak and refrigerate at least an hour before cooking. (Keeps moisture in the meat, since water will go where the salt is.) Bake at 350 F for about 10-15 minutes, then remove and sear over very high heat in a little oil for 30-60 seconds or so on each side for a good crust. (Reverse sear method) Should be warm and red-to-pink in the center.
I just love watching yall enjoying the food! I make my own food everyday, and it is so good. I know how good I have it here in America. Food is a big reason i have no desire to travel abroad. P.S. James, your mom is absolutely beautiful and elegant!
Listening to you two and mom is making me want to go grab a steak now lol. Think I'll have to do that tomorrow. Thank you for visiting Texas! Come back and see us! 🇺🇲
Hope you return for another visit. One place to see is Colonial Williamsburg in Virgina. The entire place is a living history museum. All characters working at the Museum are living as if it was the 1670's to the 1730's. Just like it was in the Colonial period before the American Revolution. You can see how early settlers grew cotton, spun the threads, wove cloth and made clothes. Copper Smith's, Blacksmiths. Tin Smith's. Coopers, wagon makers, lumber makers. How food was made over open fire. Baking bread in clay ovens. Building houses and how everything was done in the earliest days of America. You can see why American's have a sence of individualism. Compare to Europeans that more of a sence of collectivism.
The secret to a good steak is to put a nice crust on the outside so it holds all the juices in followed by letting it rest before cutting so those juices thicken up a little and stay inside. You guys had a nice steak.
We lived in San Antonio for over 20 years, but moved away about 6 years ago. Thanks so much for bringing back so many great memories of Texas, San Antonio, and the Riverwalk. We really do miss it.
I am really glad you guys enjoyed your trip to our great country. If you come again, drive through the smaller towns in a state. Unless I was in a mega hurry, I always traveled the older highways and backroads. The ones that people traveled before the interstate system. There's soooo soooo many awesome smaller restaurants and diners in smaller towns. Not to mention wonderful shops with unique items. Especially in the fall you will find loads of festivals and markets. The big cities really only offer big buildings and big crowds with big traffic lol. There is so very much more to see and do. Not to mention that all the channels all rush to do the exact same thing. Be brave, be rebels and take the initiative to do something different.
To be honest and fair, if one has the time, trying standard BBQ elsewhere so you have something to compare a place that specializes in it to like a Terry Blacks is a good idea.
Most people eat a baked potato with the steak instead of the mashed. They will also give you butter and sour cream for you to put on top if you want to. It's delicious
As an Ohioan living in Texas, I will say I've mispronounced a great many things living down here for 7 years or so. Don't sweat that stuff, awesome that you got to see SATX, hopefully you got to check out the Tea Garden while you were here.
there are different levels of cooking and bbq. once you break though to the top level, it's pretty much all the same with slight differences in spices, rubs, and sauces. but you're still going to be eating wonderful foods. that's nearly on par with each other... so trying to compare two or more top places to each other isn't possible, you can only compare which one you personally like better.
Welcome to America we love you, y'all enjoy yourself in Texas that's where my son lives and I live in Oklahoma, we'd love for you to join our Americans and come live here y'all enjoy your stay and we as Americans will make sure you're okay, we love those who love us, y'all have a blessed day and your family now.
Me and another friend of the family took my best friend’s (lives out of town) little sister to a fancy steakhouse for her 21st bday. She ordered hers medium well and asked for ketchup when it came. I wanted to slide under the table and hide
Silky-smooth potatoes is more like what we would call puréed potatoes or potato purée. Mashed has bits that are still firm, especially in the South. Purée is more of a northern food for sure.
#1 secret to juicy meat is to avoid over cooking things. Use a thermometer when cooking meat. Always. Also, use the right cooking technique. Barbecue refers to slow cooking at relatively low temps with indirect heat. So, brisket or ribs will cook at 250 degrees F for hours and hours. A grill is used for high heat, direct cooking. Use a grill for steaks (on do them in a cast iron skillet if you want great crust). In any case, use a meat thermometer to determine when to pull the meat off. Season things well to start with. Britain conquered and colonized half the earth at one point, but for whatever reason ignored spices other than in “curry” and decided to keep boiling everything and eating it well done.
My favorite is the rib steak and like it medium rare. I pan fry it in a stainless steel heavy bottom French saute pan. The idea is to not over cook the steak. Salt,pepper and garlic powder both sides. Add a little olive oil to the pan, add the steak cook for 5 minutes, flip the steak and lower the heat and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the steak to let it rest for 5 minutes . Using temperature thermometer for medium rare the temperature should be 54-57°C. That is for 1 inch or 3cm thick steak. I do the same thing for pan frying a Hamburger although I grind or mince my own meat. I'll grind a chuck steak and a sirloin steak together. Make large 1 inch patties and pan fry the same way as the steak. The left over ground meat I make patties to freeze to use later. Have a wonderful day
Sometimes mashed potatoes are lumpy on purpose. That means they mashed the potatoes by hand with a masher rather than an electric mixer, which makes it fluffy.
I prefer medium well for my steak/brisket. Regarding the wings, it could be that you got the honey barbecue ones. They also have mild, medium and hot. Regarding the fries, you can buy seasoned fries in the grocery stores in the freezer section.
it's oddly satisfying watching The BEELEY'S or any euro enjoying "our American" food, it's as if the USA is winning a competition LoL. Always enjoy your vids and have been subscribed fir a while now. CHEERS.
Restaurant mashed potato is a combination of standard Idaho russets and red potatoes for texture. Honestly it’s the sauce that makes it good otherwise it’s pretty standard mashed potatoes.
FYI it’s Terry Black’s, not Terry’s black (although for all I know, Terry could in fact be black)
Yeah i really messed that up all trip 😭
@@TheBeesleys99 🤣

To be fair he did say Terry Black's once.
No
That’s what we keep telling you guys from the UK…. If you cook the steak properly, you don’t want sauce on it.❤️🤗🐝
Yeah, the first sign to my family my steak sucks is when I ask for the A-1.

I eat my steak rare.Prefer it to be runnin🎉g by when I get it with a fork.
One thing I can say about Texas is they do things right when it comes to meat and barbecue
The south as a whole does great with almost all food.
Except pig. They are OK on real BBQ, but not exceptional. They do cow BBQ better than anyone, but, as a proud NC resident, "if it ain't pig, it ain't Q"

We do try. And we enjoy watching others enjoying our way of cooking.
Nah. Stop it. We own BBQ, including pig. Keep your fruity mayo or mustard based sauces.
As an American who has spent some time in England, I'm glad you've finally had the opportunity to taste good food.
I think we’ve converted Millie to eating her steaks medium rare from now on!
well... US med rare anyway. remember she comes from a land that boils food until it has no taste.
That looked more medium to me, but yes! Don't overcook your steak.

Whatever surface you cook on, make sure that it is screaming hot before putting the meat on it. That is the easiest way to keep your meat juicy.
And the easiest way to tell if it's screaming hot is by touching it with your finger. If you immediately scream, you're good to go. 👍

@@dewelrivera3305 Got to know where you are going. Best steaks I've had were in Texas. I live in PA and go to NY all the time, and ironically the only NY steak I've had that compared was from a Texas BBQ place that movies to NY.
@@dewelrivera3305 That's because those steak houses get their beef from Texas.
Love your videos and enthusiasm. I have vacationed in every part of Texas over the years and whether served seafood on the coast or steaks and barbeque elsewhere, the food is always great.
AWWWW - GREAT REACTION, YOU-GUYS!!! :) LOVE MOM!!! ENJOY, YA'LL!! GLAD to see you're enjoying your visit to TEXAS! :) HUGS!!
For juicy steak: Salt a healthy amount or marinade the steak and refrigerate at least an hour before cooking. (Keeps moisture in the meat, since water will go where the salt is.) Bake at 350 F for about 10-15 minutes, then remove and sear over very high heat in a little oil for 30-60 seconds or so on each side for a good crust. (Reverse sear method) Should be warm and red-to-pink in the center.
11:50 Nice 👍 legends.
Upstate NY has and LOVES! Texas Roadhouse 🥩 😎✌️too!!
So happy for your adventures 😎✌️👍
I just love watching yall enjoying the food! I make my own food everyday, and it is so good. I know how good I have it here in America. Food is a big reason i have no desire to travel abroad.
P.S.
James, your mom is absolutely beautiful and elegant!
I love you guys! You's are respectful, appreciative, loving to each other! I love to see your family! Just really enjoy you's!
Listening to you two and mom is making me want to go grab a steak now lol. Think I'll have to do that tomorrow. Thank you for visiting Texas! Come back and see us! 🇺🇲
Hope you return for another visit. One place to see is Colonial Williamsburg in Virgina. The entire place is a living history museum. All characters working at the Museum are living as if it was the 1670's to the 1730's. Just like it was in the Colonial period before the American Revolution. You can see how early settlers grew cotton, spun the threads, wove cloth and made clothes. Copper Smith's, Blacksmiths. Tin Smith's. Coopers, wagon makers, lumber makers. How food was made over open fire. Baking bread in clay ovens. Building houses and how everything was done in the earliest days of America. You can see why American's have a sence of individualism. Compare to Europeans that more of a sence of collectivism.
I love the idea of a big juicy medium rare steak at a Texas Steakhouse. It sounds absolutely wonderful. ❤🇺🇸🙏🏻👍🏻
The secret to a good steak is to put a nice crust on the outside so it holds all the juices in followed by letting it rest before cutting so those juices thicken up a little and stay inside. You guys had a nice steak.
We lived in San Antonio for over 20 years, but moved away about 6 years ago. Thanks so much for bringing back so many great memories of Texas, San Antonio, and the Riverwalk. We really do miss it.
I am really glad you guys enjoyed your trip to our great country.
If you come again, drive through the smaller towns in a state.
Unless I was in a mega hurry, I always traveled the older highways and backroads. The ones that people traveled before the interstate system.
There's soooo soooo many awesome smaller restaurants and diners in smaller towns. Not to mention wonderful shops with unique items. Especially in the fall you will find loads of festivals and markets.
The big cities really only offer big buildings and big crowds with big traffic lol.
There is so very much more to see and do. Not to mention that all the channels all rush to do the exact same thing. Be brave, be rebels and take the initiative to do something different.
I'm glad you guys enjoyed Texas!!! Come on back anytime 🤠
I am very glad you guys have gotten the chance to come over here..we need more brits to vistit the US.
To be honest and fair, if one has the time, trying standard BBQ elsewhere so you have something to compare a place that specializes in it to like a Terry Blacks is a good idea.
Most people eat a baked potato with the steak instead of the mashed. They will also give you butter and sour cream for you to put on top if you want to. It's delicious
As an Ohioan living in Texas, I will say I've mispronounced a great many things living down here for 7 years or so. Don't sweat that stuff, awesome that you got to see SATX, hopefully you got to check out the Tea Garden while you were here.
I love your videos. 👏👏👏
there are different levels of cooking and bbq. once you break though to the top level, it's pretty much all the same with slight differences in spices, rubs, and sauces. but you're still going to be eating wonderful foods. that's nearly on par with each other... so trying to compare two or more top places to each other isn't possible, you can only compare which one you personally like better.
Wearing a "California" shirt in TX. Bless your heart.

The locals probably think she’s a transplant.
Welcome to America we love you, y'all enjoy yourself in Texas that's where my son lives and I live in Oklahoma, we'd love for you to join our Americans and come live here y'all enjoy your stay and we as Americans will make sure you're okay, we love those who love us, y'all have a blessed day and your family now.
I like my steak rare or very rare if it is well aged, good quality beef. That steak looks medium not medium rare but it may just be the filming.
That’s what I said.
Omg!!! Whos mom is that?? She is so cute... love her!!! Bring her back
Me and another friend of the family took my best friend’s (lives out of town) little sister to a fancy steakhouse for her 21st bday. She ordered hers medium well and asked for ketchup when it came. I wanted to slide under the table and hide
I’m glad you guys love American food.
Silky-smooth potatoes is more like what we would call puréed potatoes or potato purée. Mashed has bits that are still firm, especially in the South. Purée is more of a northern food for sure.
#1 secret to juicy meat is to avoid over cooking things. Use a thermometer when cooking meat. Always. Also, use the right cooking technique. Barbecue refers to slow cooking at relatively low temps with indirect heat. So, brisket or ribs will cook at 250 degrees F for hours and hours. A grill is used for high heat, direct cooking. Use a grill for steaks (on do them in a cast iron skillet if you want great crust). In any case, use a meat thermometer to determine when to pull the meat off. Season things well to start with. Britain conquered and colonized half the earth at one point, but for whatever reason ignored spices other than in “curry” and decided to keep boiling everything and eating it well done.
The key is cooking tbe steak slow on low until you get the center perfect, then turn up tve heat and get a perfect sear on the exterior.
Buffalo wings and beer on a football Sunday in America!!! Don’t get any better than that! 🦅🇺🇸
My favorite is the rib steak and like it medium rare. I pan fry it in a stainless steel heavy bottom French saute pan. The idea is to not over cook the steak. Salt,pepper and garlic powder both sides. Add a little olive oil to the pan, add the steak cook for 5 minutes, flip the steak and lower the heat and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the steak to let it rest for 5 minutes . Using temperature thermometer for medium rare the temperature should be 54-57°C. That is for 1 inch or 3cm thick steak. I do the same thing for pan frying a Hamburger although I grind or mince my own meat. I'll grind a chuck steak and a sirloin steak together. Make large 1 inch patties and pan fry the same way as the steak. The left over ground meat I make patties to freeze to use later. Have a wonderful day
Goodness, you're in San Antonio! Welcome! Have a good time!
Sometimes mashed potatoes are lumpy on purpose. That means they mashed the potatoes by hand with a masher rather than an electric mixer, which makes it fluffy.
Glad yall are enjoying texas so far. Love from Glen Rose texas.
Love seeing all these fun videos from your trip! I’m on the east coast - but really enjoyed San Antonio the one time I visited too.
I'm glad that you had a wonderful time here in the United States and Millie, I want to wish you a Happy Mother's Day
What a great trip for the rest of the family too!
Welcome to Texas!!
So enjoyable watching you all!!!!!🥰
I prefer medium well for my steak/brisket. Regarding the wings, it could be that you got the honey barbecue ones. They also have mild, medium and hot. Regarding the fries, you can buy seasoned fries in the grocery stores in the freezer section.
River Walk is great. I hope you enjoyed my hometown and San Antonio.
So glad that y’all got to experience some American food
Thank you 🙏 both of you ☝️very brave 👏👏👏I never talk while I’m eating 🍖🍗I like ❤your reaction 👍🎥👋☮️
Nice to see Mum , but he was he keeping an eye Mum when she was trying his STEAK
it's oddly satisfying watching The BEELEY'S or any euro enjoying "our American" food, it's as if the USA is winning a competition LoL. Always enjoy your vids and have been subscribed fir a while now. CHEERS.
Restaurant mashed potato is a combination of standard Idaho russets and red potatoes for texture. Honestly it’s the sauce that makes it good otherwise it’s pretty standard mashed potatoes.
Cut em in half, brown the sides, then smash em in a pot. Add in herbs, green onion, butter, and a lemon vinaigrette.
Absolutely delicious every time
