$9 for flat iron? Just buy top blade roast, and split it in half horizontally across the gristle in the middle. I know you shop Publix. They will cut it for you if you ask. Just buy it as a roast.
@@vaazig right 😂. I live from 50 euro per week, but i do have my sous vide machine. I saved a couple weeks on groceries, ate a little bit less to afford it. Im happy as hell with this machine ☺.
@@Happythings354 I bought one for a relative who's on a tight budget. He can now buy pork tenderloin and eat it medium rare as if it was filet mignon. No more cardboard chicken breast etc. It's what you make of it.
Leo’s description : the meat is so tender, the seasoning compliments it perfectly, extremely flavorful, fatty and juicy, all around perfect steak Angel’s description: thats bomb
It's all in how you prepare. I rarely get meat at walmart, but the few times I do, they come out really well especially on cast iron. Those sweet potatoes? Omg Guga! 🔥🔥🔥
I have to say, while I find the exotic steak videos interesting, I am drawn to this one more. It hits all the right notes--great tasting steak for an unbelievably good price. That's my kind of video!
I’m going through a lot with kidney failure and dialysis, thank you guga for keeping me distracted:) I watch you and see what I want to do when I’m healthy 💯
Flat iron is a great underrated cut. I love it as a steak, and it is my go-to for stir-fries. For a cut that has a decent amount of marbling, you almost can't beat the price.
You absolutely can. Costco had chuck roasts for $5/lb (recently they crept up to $5.49/lb) and the marbling on some of them are absolutely insane. I'd upload a pic if I could - it's honestly incredible; looked like BMS #9. Costco's meats have never let me down but the chuck roast there is really something else.
You guys are so kind, and all have this amazing warm vibe! The finishing part of your videos where you guys chat and react and share your smiles and jokes is something I am always most happy to see.
Timing is perfect! There was something for everyone. We have to think outside the box, as there are ways to enjoy good food, on a budget!! Thanks for sharing 👍🏾 😋 💰
Your work is always inspiring and it’s great to see the interaction with your family. This is the prime example of the phrase, “if you love what you do, you never work a day in your life.”
I'm gonna show you how to make cheap steaks from Walmart really delicious! - Proceeds to misinterpret the price - Cooks it for 24 hours in a sous vide machine, which (at least in Europe) average family does not own Love the other videos, but this one was useless. Family which buys steaks "that cheap" does not have time/resources to do that probably.
Flat irons are criminally underrated. IMO they're the best steak by far in terms of value. Also, you should try a miso paste dry age, since it has a truck load of MSG.
oddly enough it's the 2nd most tender cut of beef behind the tenderloin, but because the chuck steak was sous vide longer it came out more tender. buy a top blade roast at the butcher and make your own flat iron ;)
You should do a guacamole dry aged steak! I'd love to see how the different seasonings and avocado affects the steak! I would recommend using lime juice to stop the oxidation!
I guess it’s that way for some areas. Over here in AZ the cut of Ribeye actually is on par with the 19$/lb American wagyu. With equal fatty grains throughout, but the ribeye only runs at 14$/lb. Sometimes there’s a wholesale special where if you buy a huge cut of ribeye, around 10lbs or more, they bring the price down to 8$/lb. It’s a smokin deal.
@@kennethhicks2113 If you’re located it AZ you should be able to find American Wagyu just like Doug and I. Unless you’re talking about the ribeye, then that might vary by location/price. I’m located in Maricopa City, so there’s a constant flow of cheaper ribeye because we’re about 2 miles from a cow farm/slaughterhouse.
@@Q_N- Yea, many thanks but not in AZ. I get my best steaks at HEB. But really want to try that breed/cut of meat. And I'm jealous, although in Teaxs, imo we don't have locally good eating cows... Longhorn ranch across street from me... Keep eating good and be happy : ) ad: And it's entirely possible this sells out or I miss seeing this one at Wally..... don't get old!
These are the videos I love. While I appreciate cooking things in wagyu fat and other expensive ingredients, being able to enjoy eating -- truly enjoy eating -- on a limited budget is where it is at. More please!
Flat iron is an amazing steak! The other one that is usually amazing and affordable is a hanger steak (harder to find as butcher often keep them). Sous Vide hanger steak would be amazing. Aside from Picanha, it is my favorite cut - something special.
Have you ever heard of the Fiorentina steak? Its a giant porterhouse steak famous in Italy, it is so special because it is made from the meat of the Chianina cow, an ancient Italian breed and possibly the biggest cow in the world.
I'm really surprised you were able to get a Flat Iron for that price. It is my hands down one of my favorite cuts of steak it is flavorful and very tender. up here in Minnesota I was buying them for the price you showed but they skyrocketed up to almost $16 a pound.
Try scouting them out every day as the sell by dates approach. Some stores will put them on sale right at the last minute, and you can snag a bunch for cheap and freeze them. You have to put effort into it, though. If you're lazy, they'll sell out before you get any.
Moving from Texas to Ghana, West-Africa this has helped me immensely, being that their steaks are very different than what I'm used to, thanks Guga! Now I just need to find a sous vide machine.
Adding here that you can also enjoy steak in a Korean BBQ style where you take the cut of meat after cooking it, wrap it in lettuce, kimchi, korean pepper slices and Saamjang sauce or salt/blackpepper sesame oil sauce. It makes cheaper cuts of meat more interesting if you combine more ingredients with it.
Guga, love the videos! I really like the ideas you've experimented with, and specifically these videos with more humble steaks. One thing I would like to request, is trying out the Walmart Marketside Butcher section; they have some really good Angus steaks I've been enjoying, but the real jewel is the American Wagyu steaks in the gold packages. Try them out, and consider making a video on them!
I can consistently find London broil (bottom round) at my grocery store $5.99/pound. The flavor is awesome, and if sous vide or low and slow smoked it come out quite tender.
I never comment anything at youtube, but those two guys are soooo great, also Guga of course but that‘s clear for everyone! Congrats to you guys! Great channel! 🍗💁🏼♂️
I get whole tritip roasts and break them into steaks. It generally ends up with a big, thick 1.5 inch thick steak each costing around $4-$5. Plus, that bottom sirloin from the tritip is marbled amazingly well even on low grade beef and it comes with a fatcap that gives you plenty to work with whether you want a big chunk of fat or you want to trim it up a bit.
My local Walmart has been selling Australian Wagyu ribeyes and New York strips for $15-20 each. Sometimes the marbling isn't great, but I've managed to get some great ones on the cheap every now and then. Something to consider.
Flat iron is the best cut. High in flavor and plenty of fat. The chuck is my favourite steak if you do it right. Yes 24hr sous vide is part of the secret. But the real secret to make the perfect chuck is something else 😉.
Guga My man Can we have more content of you guys like after shooting videos and the sort? I feel like your videos are cut short and i always want to see a little more content of you guys just hanging out and trying the food. Maybe its just me but love the videos and i will continue watching either way.
Oddly the Walmart near me has really amazing choice grade thin cut ribeyes. Only the thin cut one's, however. The marbling on them is closer to a higher grade prime cut but you get it at choice price.
Guga steak recipes the masses can afford! One day, we need to see Guga make some homemade demi glace, and when he defats the sauce, use that fat to make a compound butter.
Guga, good fine with the Flat Iron👌. That is actually the second most tender cut of beef. It takes forever to get to, but it's a great gem from the chuck. Surrounded by hardworking muscles, but never working. Delicious!
Those "cheap" steaks are only cheap by virtue of being tiny. The flat iron steak was $9.95 a pound, so less than 1/2 pound of meat. The chuck steak is ALMOST cheap at $5.26 a pound but again, only $3 by being a tiny piece of meat. The ribeye was well over a pound of meat not to mention a higher grade. Plus how much did it cost to cook the chuck for so long?
Indeed. People very often overlook price by volume/mass...and just look at the overall price. I generally budget all my food by price per serving, with any given complete meal being $1.19. It works out to $100.00 per month, per person. It is NOT easy to do that, especially with any thought at all toward eating anything of reasonable quality...and I frequently go over. But, for a family of four, that's $400 a month...just for FOOD! A fundamental requirement of life in the first place...and it's freaking $400 a month, absolute MINIMUM. If that's not morally criminal...nothing is.
@@kadensesay8056 yea idk how you could do that with any form of variety it would have to 50lb bags of rice and beans and extremely cheap chicken or something.
Exactly, running a sous vide machine for 24 hours also costs money, for me around $3, though it depends on where you live. Doesn't *really* matter if you're cooking more meat at a time but something to keep in mind for 1 or 2 steaks. Might as well go for flat iron or skirt steaks if you're only going to have be making a couple.
Guga one thing I think you should mention in your videos is cool time for the meat after the water bath. We don't want people to forget and overcook their steaks!
Hey guga do an experiment with different oil types for finishing a steak. Grape seed avocado, olive you know there’s so many I can’t name them all. I’ve noticed I like grape seed the best so far but maybe there’s a better
I love flat iron steak. People call it "poor man's tenderloin." Well, they used to. It got popular with chef's, and the price went up. But, I bought some last week, at Walmart, actually, and the price was reasonable. I cooked it sous vide to medium rare, and seared it with butter in a cast iron pan. Wonderful! BTW, there is no need to cook it that long, Guga. I did 90 minutes at 135F, and it was tender and juicy.
Love your videos, but after seeing this video I think you should do something with the acustics or sound isolate the loction more. Keep up the fantastic work, best regards from Norway :)
Can you try marinating eye round in pineapple (as you've done before) but then leaning the pineapple off and dry aging it? Don't dry age it in the pineapple, just marinate for a few hours then clean it off and dry age it. I wonder if that will make it tender and able to have a crust?
Pretty much make anything taste good, if the right seasoning, butter, and how long you cook it for. But even the cheapest meat can taste like gourmet if you marinade it and season it.
Let's keep the flat iron on the down low before they jack up the price to like $18 a pound. Criminally underrated steak and if you check out Ethan Chlebowski's video about it, it's the second most tender steak before the filet and equals if not betters strips and rib eyes in beefy flavor. Us steak lovers need to preserve this golden cut as well as picanha!
It's funny how similar this all is to what I make almost nightly. But I buy from Fry's (Kroger) and I get bulk packs of London broil and slice them into steaks. Also for the sweet potatoes you can just microwave them for 10 minutes and they come out great
They say never give up :) (chapter 16) List of ideas: 1.) Use pomegranate molasses "narsharab" e.g. in different molasses types experiment 2.) Hanwoo VS Waguy Beef experiment PS don't get me wrong i know that hanwoo is hard to get but lets say for 4 000 000 subscribers on Guga Foods or 2 000 000 on Sous Vide Everything? That would be sth special to see. thanx
Don't underestimate how much goodness you can get out of a flat iron steak. It's basically as lean as filet mignon, and trades some tenderness for inherent flavor. Season that nice and good, cook it however you want, and you got a damn fine main dish to put some sides with. Hell, it's almost tender enough to put between some burger buns already.
In short, it doesn’t matter much what steak you get (price wise), it’s all about how you season and cook it! Even a cheap meal can be a feast if you put the time and effort and love into cooking the food
Id love to see a triple Dry Age face off - Umai bag in the regular refrigerator VS dry-age cabinet VS Umai bag in the dry-age cabinet! I wonder if Angel can taste the difference and which is better!
Just had me a cheap price chopper steak yesterday , it was okay, it made a turd. but I put too much salt on it by accident lmao it was rough , but I ate it all cuz....ya know....I paid for the damn thing 🤣🤣
GUGA Please, Please, PLEASE do your usual cheese sauce with your usual thing, then try adding 1 heaped teaspoon of ("colmans English mustard") to the other that is identical in every other way.. BRO, you can thank me after 🤗 Guga I just made your cheese sauce go from amazing to fantastic 👌
The chuckeye I eat has more inter muscular fat inside, a bit more bigger, and only 5 dollars. Even though is quite cheap, it’s a good deal and tastes as good as a regular ribeye steak.
Well, it just so happens that Williams Sonoma has an Anova Sous Vide cooker on sale this week for $150. With current food and fuel prices, splurging on Wagyu has become untenable. It looks like I'm going to have to buy it.
I can confirm that a Flat Iron steak cooked for about 24 hours at 131° is amazing. The trick is to look around until you can find some Flat Irons for a cheap price. Some stores will put them on sale close to the sell by date on the package.
For anyone that doesn't know, flat iron / grid iron is the best cut of steak for that special someone that refuses to have even a little pink in their steak, as it manages to stay more tender when cooked well done.

Hey guga why do you sous vide at different temperatures for different cuts ?
Please do Walmarts tomahawk steak I made one was surprised from results
Guga please try dry aging with chamoy so I can stop asking. 😭

Thanks for the cheap ideas, Guga... groceries are getting very expensive nowadays. People need cheap meals.
Given the inflation we're all experiencing, this is a great series to help people enjoy food on a lower budget. Keep up the great work, Guga!
Also, with sous vide it's simple and safe to make charcuteries such as simple cooked sausages that are then sliced. It's a suggestion.
I tend to think people with all the fancy sous vide equipment, ain't gonna be hurting financially right now.

He Guga! You should dry age a steak in Tomato paste. It might turn out result well because of the natural MSG in tomatoes.
I've done pretty well getting steaks at Walmart. It's not consistent but you can find some nice looking ones even on clearance.
Clearance is the way to go. Already wet aged.
Another great video thanks guga.

Flat iron is the best cut. High in flavor and plenty of fat. The chuck is my favourite steak if you do it right. Yes 24hr sous vide is part of the secret. But the real secret to make the perfect chuck is something else 😉.

You should test how different oils change the flavour of the steak, if they are just cooked with oil and nothing else.
Love your videos, but after seeing this video I think you should do something with the acustics or sound isolate the loction more. Keep up the fantastic work, best regards from Norway :)
Can you try marinating eye round in pineapple (as you've done before) but then leaning the pineapple off and dry aging it? Don't dry age it in the pineapple, just marinate for a few hours then clean it off and dry age it. I wonder if that will make it tender and able to have a crust?
Emilio is shaking his head right now hahah
Pretty much make anything taste good, if the right seasoning, butter, and how long you cook it for. But even the cheapest meat can taste like gourmet if you marinade it and season it.
I enjoy the filet mignon from Walmart, on the high end $$ but so worth it. Made one today as a matter of fact. Yummy 😋
Guga,
Always great videos. i enjoy them very much, thanks for showing us something different..
Have you done a sous vide/dry brine combo?!
Let's keep the flat iron on the down low before they jack up the price to like $18 a pound. Criminally underrated steak and if you check out Ethan Chlebowski's video about it, it's the second most tender steak before the filet and equals if not betters strips and rib eyes in beefy flavor. Us steak lovers need to preserve this golden cut as well as picanha!
This proves guga can make any steak look good
I have watched so much Sous Vide Everything I know the sear and Su-V song note for note lmao
I’ve been sous vide-ing Walmart steaks all the time try blue packaging prime, that is when you experience huge difference
Quero passar uma semana na casa do Guga, provando comida assim.... meu sonho.
Guga do a video on the Walmart Wagyu
LETS GOOOOOOOO GUGA
Make that a shirt “10/10 highly recommended 😤”
It's funny how similar this all is to what I make almost nightly. But I buy from Fry's (Kroger) and I get bulk packs of London broil and slice them into steaks. Also for the sweet potatoes you can just microwave them for 10 minutes and they come out great
I always go to the local grocery store and buy the $3 to $6 steaks when I just want a quick steak dinner, they always come out amazing for the price
Now this is something I can do. Thanks for using a place I can go to and buy and try myself!
If someone could make a $3 steak good, this should be Guga!
They say never give up :) (chapter 16)
List of ideas:
1.) Use pomegranate molasses "narsharab" e.g. in different molasses types experiment
2.) Hanwoo VS Waguy Beef experiment
PS don't get me wrong i know that hanwoo is hard to get but lets say for 4 000 000 subscribers on Guga Foods or 2 000 000 on Sous Vide Everything?
That would be sth special to see.
thanx
I just reverse seared via air fryer a beer marinated NY strip from Walmart last night. Finished it in the pan and it was money!!!!
Don't underestimate how much goodness you can get out of a flat iron steak. It's basically as lean as filet mignon, and trades some tenderness for inherent flavor. Season that nice and good, cook it however you want, and you got a damn fine main dish to put some sides with. Hell, it's almost tender enough to put between some burger buns already.
In short, it doesn’t matter much what steak you get (price wise), it’s all about how you season and cook it! Even a cheap meal can be a feast if you put the time and effort and love into cooking the food
I was wondering if you could do a steak sear experiment with a compound butter that contained wagyu tallow.
Got a shadow black series knife for work love it gotta get more
Omg KEEP up the good work
flat iron steaks are so underrated! they've been carrying me through college
Id love to see a triple Dry Age face off - Umai bag in the regular refrigerator VS dry-age cabinet VS Umai bag in the dry-age cabinet! I wonder if Angel can taste the difference and which is better!
can Leo just like relax
Just had me a cheap price chopper steak yesterday , it was okay, it made a turd.
but I put too much salt on it by accident lmao it was rough , but I ate it all cuz....ya know....I paid for the damn thing 🤣🤣
Flat iron steaks are a mix between ribeye and flank steak. You cook it and has a price similar to flank, but flavor similar to ribeye.
You've gotta try adding some Chipotle Adobo Sauce to those sweet potatoes!
GUGA Please, Please, PLEASE do your usual cheese sauce with your usual thing, then try adding 1 heaped teaspoon of ("colmans English mustard") to the other that is identical in every other way.. BRO, you can thank me after 🤗
Guga I just made your cheese sauce go from amazing to fantastic 👌
PLEASE try this... You're cheese sauce, then, you're cheese sauce with a heaped teaspoon of English mustard 👌
The chuckeye I eat has more inter muscular fat inside, a bit more bigger, and only 5 dollars. Even though is quite cheap, it’s a good deal and tastes as good as a regular ribeye steak.
Well, it just so happens that Williams Sonoma has an Anova Sous Vide cooker on sale this week for $150. With current food and fuel prices, splurging on Wagyu has become untenable. It looks like I'm going to have to buy it.
Buy used. Lots of people buy them on a whim, then don't learn how to use them so they resell.
@@convincedquaker wait, seriously? They are so easy to use!
I can confirm that a Flat Iron steak cooked for about 24 hours at 131° is amazing. The trick is to look around until you can find some Flat Irons for a cheap price. Some stores will put them on sale close to the sell by date on the package.
For anyone that doesn't know, flat iron / grid iron is the best cut of steak for that special someone that refuses to have even a little pink in their steak, as it manages to stay more tender when cooked well done.
that’s cool that the walmart u went to has publix carts, love ur vids man
The bacon fat incorporated in the baked sweet potato was genius
