    If there is one thing I love is to grill steaks. Today I will test if its the grill or the type of meat you cook. Can an expensive steak be cooked on a very cheap grill? lets find out.

    I want to take a second to thank Guga (and a handful of other cooking channels, but definitely mainly Guga as of late) for making every steak shot so tantalizingly beautiful, that I ended up impulsively cooking my first steak just yesterday. I'd grown up eating steaks exclusively well-done and drowned in steak sauce (really since that's what literally everyone else around me was doing as I was growing up, so I figured that that was the "best" way to do it; fully cooked and then sauced), so I pan-seared a strip steak (seasoned with sea salt, freshly-ground black pepper, and garlic powder) to medium-rare, basted it with butter before plating it for a little bit, and then cut it up with some grilled asparagus and a rice/grain mix for sides.
    When I tell you that the very first bite made me have to physically pause for a minute and reprocess everything that I'd ever known about steak... I'm not exaggerating. I didn't even have to put steak sauce or any other type of sauce/dressing on it. I just ate it as-is since it was that juicy and flavorful on its own, and I could feel my soul doing backflips with every bite that I took of it. I finished my plate, and then instantly got hit with the strongest food-based "...what now?" moment of my life, since it's been so long since tasting food has been that much of an experience for me.
    Sadly, I don't think that I'll ever get a chance to try dry-aging or sous vide cooking anything, but hey, that's what this channel network is here for, to hear what it's like. Thanks for all of the amazing content.

    I know this is a minor component in your basic salt, pepper, and garlic powder line-up but I would really like to see a Guga test between store bought garlic powder versus homemade dehydrated garlic powder. So many of the flavors of garlic are lost within hours, days, and weeks of dehydrated garlic that it reminds me of the reason of why freshly ground black pepper is a must.
    I love garlic. It is so flavor dynamic based on how you cut it, how long you let it sit (fresh), how you dehydrate it, etc. Garlic powder is one of those things that stands out often when I cook for other people because they say how garlicky my food is both for better and worse much like they say how strong paprika or cayenne flavors are in my dishes (because I dehydrate my own and often from what I have grown myself.)
    So, yeah. I'd love to see: control, store bought garlic powder, homemade used within a few days, homemade a few weeks, and maybe a composite butter with garlic (unfair advantage because of the butter but whatever.)

      @@liesalllies Came here to say this. Chop it up and make tacos. The extra ingredients will fix a lot of the problems you can run in to.
      Poorly seasoned? Freshness and flavor of the veg will offset it and create balance
      Dry? Salsa, crema, and lime will compensate
      Tough? Cut it up in to very small cubes so as to reduce the amount of fibers you have to chew through
      Overcooked (too tender it falls apart)? This makes great taco filling. Overcooked brisket is great if you just shred it up. Ends up being like barbacoa.
      Tacos 100%.

      Once you screw up a piece of meat, it's screwed up. There's no reversing it. There's just repurposing it.
      If you recall Guga has tried to rehydrate meats with fats before and it just doesn't work out. Once you dry it out, it's dried out.
      Your best bet at saving a poorly cooked meat, is finding a better purpose for it than a plain steak that will show all it's imperfections.

    That was an interesting test. Charcoal brickettes use a variety of wood dust with binders so that they hold shape. This was challenge enough. But to add another challenge with brickettes saturated with lighter fluid was crazy. That said Guga, lot’s of viewers wouldn’t know that lump charcoal is the only way to cook on a grill. I’d love to see an experiment using self lighting charcoal brickettes vs regular charcoal brickettes vs lump charcoal, vs wood that has burned to to hot coals…..”Let’s Do It” !

    Tip from using these "grills" while camping: *Get another Foil Tray to use as a cover.*
    The $5 grill has air vents in it, so you won't suffocate the charcoal and trapping the heat will let everything cook much, much faster. Faster cooking = less Charcoal flavor and less toughness.

    Also known as BAGOONG in the Philippines and most southeast asian countries.
    Commonly found in most asian supermarkets or well stocked asian sections in mainstream american supermarkets (ie not that hard to attain).
    Perhaps try initially as a compound butter?
    Or a dry aging method?
    Or a marinade when putting into sous vide?

    - Peel and cut the potatoes
    - Place them in a pot with cold water that has been flavored to taste (I use salt and a meat stock cube, but you can go crazy here)
    - Boil them until ready
    - Take most of the water out, but save it in a bowl
    - Mash and add the saved water as you see fit until you are happy with the consistency
    - Add butter and dry spices (I used white pepper, garlic powder, thyme, oregano and rosemary last time)

  • @mattgio1172
    @mattgio1172 2 года назад +8

    Guga - can you show us why a non-disposable grill is better for the Wagyu A5? Is it the density of charcoal, the material of the grilling surface, or something else? Maybe you could try different amounts of charcoal or different types of grilling surfaces (stainless steel, flat top, grated grill, etc), and see which ones come out best!

    • @diehleeo1449
      @diehleeo1449 2 года назад

      I think the reason is because the disposable grill couldn't get very hot like he said, so he had to keep the steaks on the grill for much longer which made them tougher and exposed to the charcoal and smoke much longer than usual which is why they had a much stronger charcoal smell and more than needed.

    Hey Guga, I absolutely love your videos, in particular your dry age experiments. It's always really interesting seeing how they turn out. It's given me an idea for a dry age.
    Have you tried to dry age using Italian Green Pesto? I was thinking there are often a umami flavours in Pesto, including parmesan and anchovies, plus you have basil providing aromatics.
    I think it would be really interesting to see if the aromatics of the basil penetrates the meat and if the umami flavour comes through.

    PS: also, pro-tip on bechamel. You, Guga, always add seasonings to bechamel after you've made the sauce. That's not the best way to make bechamel, because you often don't develop a lot of the flavors of herbs and spices. Back in the day, French chefs used to steep the flavor ingredients in the milk (onions, peppercorns, etc) before adding the milk to the sauce, so that they'd get maximum flavor out of spices and herbs. Today, you can do that too, or also add spices into the butter to flavor it before you make the roux.
    Also PS: that wasn't a true "bechamel". Frying off the ham in the butter before making the roux technically makes it more of a country gravy. Not saying, just saying.

He would bring his own cinderblocks and a metal grill to throw over the top of them. Most of his competitors were professionals who traveled the competition circuit and would barbecue in massive trailer kitchens, likely had over a hundred thousand dollars in equipment compared to the $50 or so my brother had invested. He never lost a simple competition. They'd usually judge ribs, pulled pork, and sauce. He would sweep every category and send the pros back into their trailers empty handed lmao.

    Lighter fluid in briquettes are normally lit in a pyramid-like pile (or chimney) that burns off in the whole pile before it's ashed over red hot and spread out. The chemical taste for the filet mignon a is likely from un-fully consumed lighter fluid with remnants still inside when used for the filets.
    Had Guga stacked the briquettes (or used a chimney) to start them before spreading them out and using, he'd have had better filets. Maybe if he did the same for the Wagu he might have been able to spread them out far enough to have a wider-than-wagu cooking area.
    It's pretty obvious the briquettes on the very outside of the rack were a little less hot than the briquettes in the center having one on each side. Without that extra briquette on one side, that side is probably a little less hot & doesn't have the lighter fluid inside fully consumed on that side. It's ashed over, but not a fully activated red-hot coal.
    It's kinda amazing he managed to get as good results as he did with $5 grill that's mostly meant for non-premium hamburgers & hot dogs. The one good thing is... Cooking over charcoal.
    Someone needs to experiment doing the same with non-chemical briquettes, a regular turkey tin foil roasting pan, a warming rack or grill grates. Choosing however much charcoal to use, how they want to light before covering the throwaway pan with the grates to start the cooking process. I'd almost bet this portable solution would perform better. Certainly more controlled. Which is the reason for outdoor grilling/smoking failure is proper heat management.
