similar to the sous vide meatballs you have to slow cook the meatballs in a full pot of sauce. That gets the most flavor into the meatballs and makes them super tender.
Hey Guga, love the videos. How about a cured meats episode? Your take on salami, sausage, pepperoni and sopressata? Maybe add wagu fat or your homemade MSG?
Hey Guga, I know it may sound weird but try subbing breadcrumbs for stale bread (soak it in water or milk and then keep on pressing and massaging it with your hand 'till it becomes almost like a paste). If you do this and make it a 50/50 ratio with the mixed meat and add the same ingredient it'll become excellent. Ah! And don't forget to deepfry them until you've achieved a mohogany bark (don't overcook it, it's extremely easy to make 'em dry) and a crunchy crust. I've learned this secret from my mum, it's almost luke a tradition in my family. Hope you'll like it too.
I spray the bottom bun with cooking spray and put butter on the top bun. Then I put garlic salt on both and throw them under the broiler. When the bottom bun with the cooking spray gets golden brown I put on the meatballs, sauce, and cheese. Then It’s back under the broiler and the top bun with the butter gets grown brown at the same time the cheese gets golden brown. I use a hoagie roll I just said bun to make it easier to understand.
I've done some experiments with the raw storebought meatballs (The ones that are pre-made, but are still raw meat) and found they Sous vide pretty well if you use the Ziploc bag method of vacuum sealing as it puts less immediate pressure. It also helps to still be mostly round if you chill them so they're slightly frozen.
This is great! I'm going to try sous vide. As a tip, if you want some extra flavor in the meatball, mix some tomato paste into the meatball itself. Cooking in the sauce sounds good, and lots of people do it, but the sauce only flavors the very outside of the meatball, it doesn't soak in. Oh, and instead of breadcrumbs, mix bread and milk as the filler, and put all of your seasoning and cheese in that, then add the beef/pork at the end.
Hey Guga, thanks for your great videos. After watching your videos, I have three requests for future videos: - Please try some other cattle breeds than wagyu and American beef. - How do you clean all your pans and other cooking ustensils so they continue to be so shiny ? - Please cook a foie gras in a terrine using sous vide. And yes I'll repeat those requests often. ;)
50% Beef, 25% Ground Veal, 25% Ground Pork. Season the way you like and enjoy. Great combo for a meatloaf and burgers too. Maybe incorporate some bone marrow to juice it up a bit
It is amazing what you can do with ground meats. I had an amazing Eastern European ground meat kabob the other day that was made from a ground beef/chicken mix. And my wife does a stuffed pepper using a beef/pork/lamb mix that doesn't get too greasy because of the mix of lean and fatty meats.
The sauce - swap out the sugar for dark brown sugar... don't use any salt... Use anchovy paste instead. Get the molasses hint from the sugar and the umami hit from the anchovies
Ever since I found both of your channels, I can’t get enough. These are my new favorite cooking channels on UA-cam. You and Babish should do some sort of collaboration.
who would have thought that sous vide makes meatballs better? I wouldn't. It's such a traditional thing over here, that I didn't even consider making them sous-vide. btw - clever trick to sear them before sealing them in.
if you use 1 part pork and 1 part veal and 1 part beef with the exact everything else it will be just as juicy and a lot more tender ... another thing you could use is panko breadcrumbs .. the convenience and in my opinion better flavour is worth the extra steps
The best? For the best, pre-sear the meatballs (I recommend doing so by pan frying) and then throw into a slow cooker with the sauce for a few hours to cook through. The meatballs will flavor the sauce, the sauce will season the meatballs, and the slow cooker can keep a family sized batch warm for hours; perfect if your family will be enjoying the subs, but can't all eat at the same time... Try it some time. You will be glad you did.
Thanks for all the great content Guga. On the one hand I love showing off your videos and content to spread the love for your great and inspirational cooking. On the other hand I kinda want you to stay super low key so Picanha prices don't rise 🤣
Guga, I love your videos, and I'm a subscriber (over 12 months!). I'm also a Voice Actor. I'm begging ya -- try doing your voiceovers more like you talk to the camera. The way you talk in the VoiceOver makes every single sentence sound exactly the same. You go up in tone... then you end down. EVERY TIME. If you think about it musically, you start the sentence in the middle, then you go up an octave, and always end on the exact same note. When you talk live on camera, you never do that! I'm not trying to criticize, but your natural conversational voice is perfect. You're trying too hard to sound smooth in the dubbing. Hope you don't me pointing it out! Love ya Guga & crew!
*Need some help!* My kitchen always gets heaps of smoke cooking steaks; as the extractor fans do nothing. How long and at what temperature should I *reverse sear* my steaks? Is there a chart which shows the temperature and time for each level of thickness? The steaks I get aren’t thick, they’re about 300g Porterhouses and are less than an inch.
I am allergic to tomato! I use to be able to eat it but now it really messes me up! Guga do you have any ideas for a substitute for this recipe?? Been salivating over this video the whole time!
On the other channel with your twin, lol. I wonder if you could go through different way to help keep the moisture in your meats using the oven/broiler/air fryer.
2 things, 1 I wonder how they would have turned out if you had put some marinara in the bag with them while cooking? 2 what about using the water displacement method to remove air from the bag for the sous vide and then searing?
Another way to cook them guga is right in the sauce which is what I do, give them a sear first and then pop them in the sauce for 30 mins to an hour depending on size!
I don't eat pork but lamb really makes a great ground meat mixture with beef. I also like plain lamb ground meat but I guess mixing into the beef is more efficient since sheep don't have so much meat. Sheep have a great fat, though.
I've told Subway for decades, they should make their meatballs into a 6" meat log or patty. It would speed up their assembly & the balls wouldn't go rolling while eating.
It's interesting how adding sugar to tomato sauce seems normal in America, to break up the acidity, but a good sofrito to start the sauce, would do the same and would be more natural and authentic.
How about 50-25-25 50% dry aged ground A5 wagyu 25% ground bacon and 25% ground filet (to even out the fat content) do your regular spice mix, except add dark brown sugar and MSG as well, maybe replace the salt with beef bullion cubes?
I would have done more of an 80/20 pork/hamburger mix with some more garlic and some chili powder with a few tablespoons of chili paste in the sauce and I definitely would have went with a crisper bread and a bit more generous with the cheese and sauce, maybe an optional sriracha on the side.
C'mon Guga! How can you say this is the greatest meatball sub when the ground beef in the meatballs are not Japanese A5 Matsusaka Wagyu and the ground pork are not Japanese Kurobuta or Shirobuta?
@@the-secrettutorials Matsusaka Wagyu's flavour is one of the strongest in the world, putting iberico in would be a waste as you won't be able to taste it.
To keep the shape in the vacuum bag could you have frozen the balls slightly Or would they still flatten out once they start thawing in the water bath?
I'm surprised he didn't sear the meatballs followed by cooking them sous vide in the sauce as well testing it against oven cooked then continuing the cook in the sauce on the stove
I know whenever I'm making meatloaf I prefer a mix of beef and pork along with everything else. Always fry the onions first though. I disagree with using raw onions in a meat mix. Always make sure they're cold before adding them too for obvious reasons.

Hey Guga, now you know you should cook a 50% Wagyu 50% Ibérico pork meatball right?
Glad someone thought of that!
if you make wagyu meatballs the fat just melts and it will taste like normal meatballs with a bit more flavor.
Ohhh man 😅😂
@@WintechX Iberico Pluma, on the other hand, makes for perfect meatballs, so maybe Iberico with standard ground beef would do. I still want to see it.

Yes what he made was called a round hamburger On a hoagie bun. Not a meatball. And the last thing you want to do is make tomato sauce in five minutes.

When I make meatballs, I also add some gratted zucchini inside for extra moisture :). Works like a charm!

Guga is the only UA-camr who scoops out the excess bread. That’s the way my godfather taught me to do it. BRAVO!

Try zesting some carrot and orange rind into your marinara instead of sugar. Cuts the acid and adds more depth to the flavour
my nana always cooked meatbals in a simmering sauce, basically like sous vide
My man, that looks freaking delicious. Definately will try to make this for sure
The sauce - swap out the sugar for dark brown sugar... don't use any salt... Use anchovy paste instead.

Add some ground veal to the pork and beef. I go 1/4 pork, 1/4 veal, 1/2 beef. Even more succulent meatball.
We czechs have our version of this recipe, I recommend cooking the meatballs in the tomato sauce. It gives them awesome flavour!
Id love a guga and babish Collab everything you make looks amazing

I prefer a more Italian style meatball with fennel or anise but the 50-50 blend is definitely the way to go

Interesting, I really didn't think it would make that much of a difference
Looks so appetizing! 😍😍😍
Looks amazing guga!
We usually add Italian sausage for flavor, and spinach for moisture.
Amazing video once again guga love your videos they get me through the day
Where is the Guga cookbook?
Given the season , I would like to see a turkey variant without cranberry sauce and stuffing options
I've always really enjoyed making meatballs with a third beef, a third pork, and a third either veal or leg of lamb.
@ScottishSlav(formerly Ed of the Dead) instant death
You used to be able to buy a "meatloaf mix" in NYC-area supermarkets that was equal amounts of ground beef, pork, and veal.
Angel looking like Jon Snow with that haircut 😂😂
Angel always has good instincts on what you did and subtle changes......dudes the Sherlock Holmes of food tasting.
Guga, traditional meatballs are 33% beef pork and veal. So you know. :)
One simply cannot make a meatball video without at least one ball joke 🤣🤣 I love it!!!!
Love the Guga crew, you make me hungry every time 😋
7:48 ayooooo guga wildin
I saw from a Swedish granny, take 1:1 milk and breadcrumbs, let sit for 20min then add to meat. Really makes a difference.

Between the 100% beef and 50/50 mix, what’s your ratio of fat to lean? That will also make a huge difference when making meatballs.
80/20 I bet
love that you are changing your songs up man
Another way to cook them guga is right in the sauce which is what I do, give them a sear first and then pop them in the sauce for 30 mins to an hour depending on size!
FYI if you use more parm-cheese as a binder, you don’t need egg.
Do you add egg in a burger patty? Try it.
8:10 That's some good quality bals 🤣🏆
This video making me mad hungry in class… 🤤
1ST
Yep! Mixing beef with pork ALWAYS works better. Guga, you should do another experiment - this time mix the beef with sausage (Italian AND Polish)
Coming back to this video (as I'm making meatballs for dinner) is a bit nuts when looking at the weight Guga has lost. Bravo sir
Great comparison! - Thanks! - I need to get me a flame thrower! :) (for cooking). - lol

It's interesting how adding sugar to tomato sauce seems normal in America, to break up the acidity, but a good sofrito to start the sauce, would do the same and would be more natural and authentic.
Guga should make a 3rd channel named "microwave everything"

You could have frozen the meat balls before you vacuum seal them as well.
Ordered a sous vide an a sear thing lol 😂 I’m going to cook some good food hopefully i already had a vacuum sealer so I’m ready lol
GUGA!!! You should do a series of cooking different types of foods on a blackstone griddle.
I would have done more of an 80/20 pork/hamburger mix with some more garlic and some chili powder with a few tablespoons of chili paste in the sauce and I definitely would have went with a crisper bread and a bit more generous with the cheese and sauce, maybe an optional sriracha on the side.
I'm here due to Oscar's La Capital, you are so good man, continue doing what we love thanks :)

C'mon Guga! How can you say this is the greatest meatball sub when the ground beef in the meatballs are not Japanese A5 Matsusaka Wagyu and the ground pork are not Japanese Kurobuta or Shirobuta?
Albóndigas de ibérico.
What about iberico?
@@the-secrettutorials
Matsusaka Wagyu's flavour is one of the strongest in the world, putting iberico in would be a waste as you won't be able to taste it.
Now put the sous vide version up against meatballs deep-fried in lard, tallow, and a 50/50 mix of lard and tallow.
To keep the shape in the vacuum bag could you have frozen the balls slightly Or would they still flatten out once they start thawing in the water bath?
Bake the meatballs, then sous vide with the sauce in the bag might be the game changer.
Good idea cooking a bit of meat to taste. So simple. I always just eyeball the salt and hope it's enough (or not too much 😅).
Just a casual reminder that the meatball sub implies the existence of a meatball dom.
Dude great idea! 50/50 mix this may be life altering!
This looks super easy to make. I feel better since you didnt make your own bread!
Hey Guga did you hear from Flambadou grilling with burning dropping porkfett?
