  • We all use black pepper with steaks, but so many people have told me I am doing it completly wrong so I ran the experiment of using black pepper before, after sous vide and after searing to find out which way is the best way to use it when making high end steaks.

  • @Brookskyar
    @Brookskyar 4 года назад +358

    I believe due to the fact that the pepper flakes are adhering to the steaks during the sear, the heat does not only increase the temperature of the pepper, but of the steak as well. This means that even if the pepper alone burns after 2 min, it'll take much longer for it to burn on the steak as heat is drawn into the steak as well. This prevents the pepper's temperature from reaching the burning temperature. This is similar in concept to trying to pop a water balloon by burning it.

      Also the fat and oil will emulsify it and cause it to be able to cook for longer, not burn. This is even true when cooking other items such as garlic or onions for dishes, the oil is key for making it able to cook longer, without it it would just burn. It would be good to see what happened and differences if he cooked the peppercorns in oil too.

    I think because these steaks have been cooked in the sous vide, the amount of searing time means less chance of burning the pepper. Cooking without the sous vide will mean longer time in the pan which might burn the pepper and cause that bitterness.
    I wonder what happens to pepper on the grill... do you think the flames will burn the pepper, Guga?

    • @joelman1989
      @joelman1989 3 года назад +3

      I don’t even think fully pan seared steaks last long enough in the pan for pepper to burn. Unless maybe you’re going for a well done steak. I always pepper before because I like a less pronounced pepper taste, and have never noticed a difference. But again, I’m cooking medium rare.

    • @beelzebuddha
      @beelzebuddha 3 года назад

      @@joelman1989 depends on the pan temperature, I'd wager. If it can singe the meat, I'm assuming it can burn the pepper. For me, doneness depends on the cut -- rare for low-fat cuts like the filet mignon, and medium rare for high-fat cuts like ribeyes.

    @Matteria85 4 года назад +12

    Hi Guga, great video, and very scientific approach as always. Just a brief comment, the compounds that give the beautiful pepper flavour (e.g. piperine one of those) are liposoluble. This actually means that even if you have used the same amount of pepper for all the steaks, during the sauté process some of these compounds will be dissolved in oil and partially lost, while on the other hand this will help to homogeneously distribute the compounds all over the steak. This won't happen if you add pepper on the steak just before serving it. Therefore, although it's rational to consider that some thermal decomposition will occur, the amount of pepper will effectively be more on the last steak compared to the previous two and this must be taken into account (it's sensible that the last steak tastes more peppery). I would be happy to eat all of them by the way! Till next video!

    I've been a chef for 27 years and worked in NYC most posh Restaurants. First you I'd start my steak on a high setting. After both sides are browned reduce heat depending on the thickness. I always pepper my steak before it goes into the pan. The oils from the pepper come out in the oil, and you get this aroma of fresh cracked pepper. The taste of toasted pepper on a perfectly seared steak. Always pepper your steak before it mellows any capsaicin in the pepper so it's not so hot to eat. You'll love the flavor.

    Cooked pepper tastes different than fresh pepper, just like anything else. For me, I do both before and after the sear to really get the balance I like.
    I'll use both fresh and roasted garlic in my cooking, too. Same concept: If you're only using fresh stuff, you're limited by its pungency and can't get as much flavor without being overwhelmingly hot.

      Good technique. I do something similar when i'm cooking for instance breakfast potatoes, reserving some of the garlic and onions for part way through the cook. The early onions are soft and sweet and the garlic deeper flavored and mellow. The later onions are brighter and have more texture and the garlic stronger. Having all of that together adds some nice complexity to the dish.

    Pepper scorches at 450 F. Most people are not using sous vide to cook steak and using your grill, you will be exposing the pepper to temperatures over 450 F. for 3-4 mins. per side.

    There are two things going on.
    1. The pepper is absorbing some moisture from the steak, which slows down the burning reaction.
    2. The steak itself is absorbing a lot of the heat, so the pepper is less hot than when you fried the peppercorns by themselves.

  • @keeneleung7643
    @keeneleung7643 5 лет назад +4

    From what I understand, the actual issue with cooking pepper (i.e. Add before ANY heat) is that the peppercorn oil will vaporize. This happens naturally at room temp too, so heating pepper will only make u lose this oil to an extent. The only thing this effects is the level of spiciness, that is to say the intensity of flavor rather than the flavor profile.

      Probably true but not the point of an experiment. When you're testing something you need to remove as many variables as possible.

    I like to pepper my steaks after because for one, some members of my family don't like pepper on steak (shocking I know) the second is I like the stronger fresher bite that gets dulled a bit when cooked. But I've never had it taste bitter or acrid then I cook to medium rare and do 2 minutes a side for searing so likely doesn't hit that 3 minute mark to cause burn. Steak is so amazing and great to see this experiment validate it doesn't affect the pepper much. Perhaps people who don't like medium rare and go for a well done steak may exceed that time and get the burned acrid effect.

Yes, the pepper corn would have more contact surface for receiving heat, but the energy absorbtion of the oil would heavily outweigh this.
      This is also probably the reason, why the pepper doesn't actually burn while searing the steak: because the steaks absorb all the heat energy that would otherwise burn the pepper.
