Why I Season My Cutting Board, NOT My Steak
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 тра 2019
- Just like a dry sponge absorbs water, meat will (to an extent) absorb liquid as it cools. So, instead of flavoring your steak before you cook it (or in the pan while it cooks), you can simply flavor the cutting board with seasoning, citrus, herbs, butter - anything you'd like. Rest the steak on the board, then slice it thin and toss it in its own juices and your flavorings. The meat will suck everything up and deliver the goodness TO YOUR BELLY.
Here's the classic J. Kenji López-Alt article I mentioned in the video about why you should season your steak at least 40 minutes in advance, IF you're going to season in advance: www.seriouseats.com/2011/03/t...
MY COOKING PHILOSOPHY: I don't like weighing or measuring things if I don't have to, and I don't like to be constantly checking a recipe as I cook. I don't care that volume is a bad way of measuring things - it's usually easier. I like for a recipe to get me in the ballpark, and then I like to eyeball and improvise the rest. If you're like me, my goal with these videos is to give you a sense of how the food should look and feel as you're cooking it, rather than give you a refined formula to reproduce. - Навчання та стиль
Q: Is that steak raw inside?
A: Nah. It is on the rare side, which is how I like it. One thing I've learned since I started making videos (I'm a radio guy) is that cameras lie, especially about color. You can't trust the colors you see in a video. I can make some tiny tweaks to a filter or a light, and a steak will go from pink to red to gray without actually changing. Keep watching my videos, though, and I'll be able to afford a nicer camera with better color reproduction. I'm shooting on a real cheap DSLR with a kit lens.
Q: Is that steak burned on the outside?
A: Nah, see the above answer. Cameras tend to make dark brown look black. That's one of the reasons why food stylists do crazy stuff like painting food with shoe polish or whatever to make it look brown.
Q: Will this method work with other meats?
A: Yeah, anything you would consider slicing thin before eating.
Q: Why not season the outside of the meat before cooking? Won't that make it taste better?
A: Seasoning the outside right before cooking will definitely result in a salty crust, which can be nice. But with this recipe, I'm going to toss the steak in its own juices, which would redistribute the salt from the crust to the entire surface area of the meat anyway, so there simply isn't any point. And seasoning right before cooking absolutely will not flavor the interior of the meat. Kenji's experiments showed that it takes at least 40 minutes for salt to draw moisture out of raw meat, dissolve into the moisture, and then be reabsorbed. You should try his method sometime, which basically involves seasoning the meat the day before.
Q: Are you sure the pieces are really absorbing the surrounding liquid?
A: I think so! The commercial meat industry refers to this phenomenon as "pick-up." At the same time, though, I'm sure what's also happening is the "sauce" is congealing as it cools and is simply sticking to the surface of each piece. That's a desirable result, too, right? So I figure, who cares how much of either factor is at play?
Q: Didn't you already make a video about this?
A: The first food video I ever made, about a year ago, was a more complicated version of this recipe. I wanted to do it again, now that I'm a little better at making videos. Gonna redo my old roast chicken one, too. June 6.
Q: Will you ever cook any damn vegetables?
A: Yes! I've been waiting for stuff in my garden to ripen before I do a bunch of vegetable recipes.
N A H
Adam Ragusea does this method only work if you slice it thin? If I like to cut my steak as in eating it, is kenji’s method better?
You don't need that big of a budget to shoot good videos with good colour production. Get a midrange secondhand Canon with a secondhand L series lens that opens to at least 2.8, which'll cost you less than 2k and you won't have to mess a lot with colour grading.
You could get a Sony alpha but the colour isn't very good out of the box and if you shoot in S-log3 you need to do heavy colour grading.
ifeelverygood hah, “less than 2k,” so cheap! I’m literally shooting with a $300 canon T5 and its kit lens.
then00best yeah, I wouldn’t do this if I planned to serve the steak whole.
I actually season my meat before I eat the cutting board

In that order

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think it's a pretty cool strategy to season the board first. But I actually prefer to season my hands instead. Your hands themselves let out sweat throughout the prep, so seasoning your hands helps wick it up and ensure that you don't get that uniform background saltiness from your sweat onto the steak, giving the coarse salt grains a bigger punch.
this is the most cursed one yet LMAO
I can't tell if this is a joek or not but it sounds genius

Awesome video Adam! I actually prefer to season my nose before I eat. Most of our taste comes from are sense of smell. So every bite is evenly flavored. One extra tip is to snort it all up for the final bite, if you’re lucky you can get all your seasoning into your mouth after they’ve baked in your nostrils. Kind of like when you’re sick and don’t want to get a tissue you just snort the snot and then swallow, same idea. Happy cooking 😊

What I personally like to do is season my stomach just so that when it goes in there, it gets properly seasoned. Give it a try. But first, make sure to tenderize your stomach acids.
I've been using a method and honestly it changed my life.
Step 1: Season your mouth
Step 2: Eat the steak raw
Step 3: Let the steak absorb the flavors
Step 4: Light yourself on fire

Instead of using soap in the shower, you can simply apply the soap, shampoo, and conditioner to your towel so that after you rinse yourself in the shower your body can absorb the cleaning agents and make your body that much cleaner and smoother. The soap industry calls this phenomenon "pick-up."

4. I then put myself on the plate
This actually has a great impact in the tasting of the steak since it really meets the flavor of the seasoning inside your intestines and going into the oven yourself adds up that crispy outside and juicy cooked insides which is great

After that, the sun emits heat onto the grass, in which it is also seasoned. Then I become a cow, die, become a human, and grab my past life dead remains, and finally use the sun to cook in in order to get the seasoning onto the steak.
