how about doing a mayo experiment! try to make different types of mayo out of different types of animal fat! that sounds delicious on some type of sandwich of some sort!
At 4Million subs, guga should take all the successful experiments that he's done and combine, or rank each successful experiments for what's better than another. Or take everything he's learned and try to make the BEST experimental steak in the world! Edit: I'm glad this comment got so much attention, I hope that this has Gugas so we can actually see this happen.
We really need a round up. I came with the question on how to make my steak. 30 steak Videos later I am just left with one steak and 25 different "best" ideas on what I should try :O
I worked at a high-end restaurant in N.California when I was young (17-20 yrs. old, I'm 60 now) and they did the powdered milk deal on the rib eye's and prime rib. But also coated the prime rib with cracked black pepper. The restaurant was so busy that there would be 3 hour waiting list. We would dip the steaks in a large container of melted butter that was on the side of the huge grill. Then dip it in a container of powdered milk, then on the grill. The prime rib would be lathered with butter and olive oil mixture the coated with the powdered milk on the fat side. The slow cooked in hickory/cherry wood smokers. My job was to make sure the smokers were doing good from noon to 6p for the first batch to be done. Then kept feeding more prime ribs in till about the last one at 10p. We closed at 11:30p. Any left over we on the line would cut-up and either make sandwiches or take home. You brought back a great old memory, thanks!
Wow. Thank you for sharing this, because I have this video (and some others) saved to experiment with steaks at home and this honestly gave me some great ideas. Sounds like a wonderful memory!
Awesome knowledge. Thankyou for that comment. What could I use in rainy England to recreate the as we generally dont cook outside or have a smoker (whatever that might look like😅)?
@@Woodkin007 All you really need is low and slow cooking method. You could use an oven and cook at 200 to 225 F (93 to 95 C) and maybe even put a chunk of wood in the oven just to absorb and put in a bit of the wood smell. Not to actually burn (not safe) but it will put out some smell and into the meat.
You seriously need to make the "Guga Steak Cookbook". Fundamentals of cooking a steak the guga way. A section different dry agings and how to best do them. Receipes for sauces/powders/butters. And a section for side dishes. 10/10 will buy it.
@@redeye1016 I taken to bookmarking videos with good side dishes and putting the side dish name at the end of the bookmark title. I'd totally buy a Steak and side-dish Guga cookbook.
I heard him mention it in a video that he keeps track of the things that work and the things that don't work see, so I'm sure he has enough to put together at least a short cookbook by now!
I gotta tell you…I didn’t make the powdered milk steak but I DID make those potatoes. I just had the in-laws over for Mother’s Day and after the first bite, they both immediately looked at me and said “how did you make these potatoes?!” They were THAT good! As always, thanks for the tips, love the videos!
I really think milksteak boiled hard with jellybeans is supposed to be a bechamel sauce steak with baked beans but the mother gave up and did the fastest cooking method she could.
The reason why this is probably working is the crust you get when you sear a steak is the proteins in the meat browning. By adding milk powder, you are adding concentrated casein protein, which is the protein that browns when you make browned butter. So, you’re actually making a crust out of browned casein protein, so you’re getting a super caramelization effect. Good idea. I wonder if an unflavored casein protein supplement would have the same effect?
I am from the Netherlands and I love steaks, i am a chef for more than 45 years now. And i cooked a lot of steaks. Since i now only cook for friends, i am more free to experiment, this one has my attention friends. I don't have suggestions at this moment. What i wanted o say is this. watching your channel , seeing you guys enjoy good steaks makes me very happy, the enthousiasm is amazing. Please never stop maken vids like this.
Guga might already seen yours and prepared one in advance, just waiting for the dry age process maybe 🤣 you're definitely dedicated to this, I'm impressed
Man, I love you guys so much, I was a chef for 5 yrs, and I love to learn all the different ways to cool the steak. Actually, I recently find it from a local restaurant called 'The meat and wine co' in Sydney, I can taste their steak is marinated or seasoned by milk, I am just not sure if it's marinated by milk or seasoned by milk powder. You guys just gave me the answer, I definitely will try it out tomorrow!
I tried this today!! I had to do it differently. Here in Japan I have some buttermilk powder. Buttermilk doesn't exist in Japan so some friends sent this to me. I used this powdered buttermilk on pork! I added a some dry basil and salt and it fried it with zuccini, yellow bell pepper, and chinese leek with some ravioli. It was AMAZING!
You know you can make buttermilk, right? All you have to do is take regular milk and let it ferment. The lactose is oxidized to lactic acid, which lowers the ph and causes the fat to precipitate as butter.
@@stefanl5183 this doesnt work with all milk in all countries. in america regular whole milk will never do this, but ive had success with a few of the more expensive "organic" varieties. a decent work around if your country's milk refuses to ferment is to use a milk mushroom (aka tibetan milk fungus).
@@yura37 not sure if it would work for steak per se but i know in baking you can just substitute 1 Tbsp of vinegar and a cup of milk... but its not flavor per se it has more to do with activating the baking soda which is what the vinegar basically does
okok wait. You've made the Eye of Round steaks a lot more tender with the pineapple marinade, but the downside is that it gives it less of a crust. so what if we did the pineapple marinade on the eye round, then cover it with dry whole milk after? would that bring the crust back AND keep the tenderness of the pineapple?
I think the milk powder worked because you basically massively increased the amount of reducing sugar available for the maillard reaction. A maillard reaction is a reaction between a reducing sugar and an amino acid, so by increasing the amount of reducing sugar available will result in more maillard reactions occuring. I think something better would be to use a combination of _malted milk powder_ and _diastatic malt extract._ Both contain maltose and lactose, which are reducing sugars, and the diastatic part refers to the enzyme activity of the malt powder. Those enzymes are used especially in bread making to get a better crust. I think it would produce an even better crust on the steak than the straight milk powder did. The other part of the maillard reaction are amino acids. Roasting foods, and other dry heat cooking methods break down proteins and release free amino acids, especially glutamate, which provides umami flavors, and those free amino acids undergo maillard reactions resulting in even more flavor. You _could_ try to increase the amount of free amino acids by adding protease enzymes, like those found in pineapple, papaya, kiwi, yoghurt, and kefir. But, through cooking steak with dry heat methods you get a ton of free amino acids anyway, and malted milk powder has a ton of protein too. You could try making a steak with a full dairy marinade by mixing diastatic malt powder and malted milk powder with yoghurt or kefir to increase both the free amino acids, _and_ the reducing sugars available. Or try to marinade in a mixture of diastatic malt powder, malted milk powder, and pineapple or something. But, I think the best idea would be to just use a mix of malted milk powder, and diastatic malt extract. _Food_ for thought...
My Name Is Andong made a video for super buttery popcorn that basically used super-brown butter, made just like regular brown butter but adding milk powder as additional solids to fry up and caramellize. Def should check it out as well, very similar ideas.
@@rookere1604 it’s a flavor note in a cookie, they can be flawlessly sweet and savory. Try out milk bar’s cornflake marshmallow and “compost” cookies for a perfect example
Hey Guga! I think having a SIDE DISH COMPILATION video would be great. Its hard to find specific side dishes you make, but a compilation of your best side dishes would make it easier.
Definitely need to riff on the powdered milk, now that it's such a hit. Perhaps a spice mixture with the milk, compound butter, or a dry aging experiment.
the potatoes used similar technique to British roasted potatoes! A tip to get the surface even crispier is to put a small amount of baking powder in the water with the potatoes as they boil, not sure why it works but it does, just be careful not to use too much otherwise the potatoes will taste like baking powder
@@feiryfella This is definitely essential and you should also do it if you add baking powder or not but I promise, if you also add baking soda or powder, like half a teaspoon, to the water you boil them in, it will create an even crispier surface
Higher pH (alkaline) acts as a catalyst for the maillard reaction. So, there's more cooked flavor for a given amount of cooking, likewise lower pH (acidic) lowers the rate of maillard reactions.
guga you are always a wonderful example of positivity combined with delicious AND accessible cooking. love the vids man, can't wait for the show/book/restaurant!
Just cooked this recipe with ribeyes, New York strip, porterhouse, and t bone steaks for a party. It was a big hit! Some said it was best flavor of any steak they ever had. Thx for the idea. Love your show.
As a pro chef and person who loves all things smoked and BBQ'd I want to say your channel is amazing! One thing I learned about cooking potatoes is always preheat the pan with some of your fat before adding the potatoes. Yours do look perfect I must admit.
Guga, for the browned butter, I have an optimization to recommend. Let the butter foam twice, and go ahead and let the milk solids darken gradually (medium low heat) until they're the color of coffee grounds. Then, pour the butter into a clean dry french press coffee maker, and leave it for long enough to let the solids settle out. Then, cut a patch of paper coffee filter, place it over the French press plunger, and gently press it through the butter. What this does is filter the butter through the coffee filter and separate out the solids. (You're going to want to use the French press because gravity filtering takes too long for this, and the filter gets clogged too easily if you don't first let most of the solids settle out.) The flavor of the butter itself won't be any worse; it will be better because the caramelization process is even further developed, while the solids, which will have given up their flavor and will not taste as good when dark brown, will have been filtered out. Try this and see if it isn't better than what you did.
Even better: add powdered milk to the butter for an even more intense brown-butter flavor. The milk solids in the powdered milk act the same way as the milk solids in the butter.
@@c.odubhlaoich2948 I've done that, and here's what I noticed. No mesh sieve is fine enough to get the fine bits of burnt milk solids, and they clog easily. I've also used a coffee filter but it takes far too long. After the initial bit that filters through it just grinds to a halt and hardly passes any liquid through. This is why I recommend the method I described.
@@Berkana Maybe we cook at different temps, because I do it low enough to where I can just leave it and not stir to avoid burning, at least for me I've noticed that this way the milk solids clump in larger size enough to where if there is any bits passing through the sieve it's small enough to where I don't notice. My sieve is very fine though. I wonder if a cheese cloth layered a couple times could be used for speed too. Not that your idea is bad at all, I know it would be very efficient
@@deathi yeah something like that. Thats the idea anyway, make Guga cook a crappy steak and Angel an awesome steak. Angel can cook though, he did some videos. Maybe Leo could cook, I don't think we ever saw him cook on this show yet!
@@deathiMy grandfather was a butcher and he talks about how he got to bring home all the hanger and bavette steaks he wanted because no one knew how to cook them so they wouldn’t sell like a normal strip or porterhouse
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. ;)
This is my first video of yours, just randomly found today!!! I am EXTREMELY impressed!!!! Not only did you cook 3 beautiful steaks, you let us see the whole process from start to finish including every side touch done to increase the flavor of the food. explaining it all along the way. AND to top ALL of that greatness, you spoke very clearly with the perfect cadence and volume to your voice and the dialect, so that it made it very easy to catch each word and not need to replay, which is very common for me as I have a hearing impairment, so GREAT JOB, and Thank You!!! It probably doesn't need to be said now, but I will anyway. I crushed the like button, I smashed the sub button, and I rang that bells ringer!!! 💖💖😊😊😊😊💖💖
@@Caio-ow5tm Thank you!!! I'm glad to be here!! You helped me cook the best steaks I've ever cooked on the 4th!!! Thank you again!! Keep up the great work!!!
I remember watching you when you were only 30k subs and now your 3 million. I've been with you for years guga and I have learned a lot from you and my family always come to me when we bbq. I love your channel really your the best cooking channel imo on UA-cam
Guga, Thanks for all you do. You’ve helped my family enjoy dinners together as I’ve learned from your suggestions, success and failures along the way. I’m so happy for you and your family on the well earned success of your channels!! Way to go!
You have probably seen this before but my go to is: Coat steak in Dijon mustard and a little sea salt, you can add rosemary and garlic to the mixture or sriracha if you like a little spice, refrigerator for 6-8 hours, let rise to room temperature remove excess coating and then grill. I’m going to add milk powder to the mix next time. FYI you guys are amazing.
I didn't think milk powder would work, but when it did my first thought was "would malted milk powder work better?" It already has a deeper , more complex flavor slightly sweet but with it's own umami. Perhaps as a paste in sous vide or in dry ageing, I think I could find 12 different ways to test this
You should do a miso paste dry age! I've cooked American Wagyu in a cast iron with black garlic and miso butter and it was the best steak I've ever had. I'd love to see what miso does to a dry age!
@@Abossow77 You should try it with heavy whipping cream instead of milk. Interesting fact, some people who are lactose intolerant and cannot drink milk can drink heavy whipping cream. Why? Because if you'll notice on the nutritional information, heavy whipping cream is most fat and protein and is actually very low in carbs, usually < 1 g per serving. Lactose is sugar, which is of course carbohydrate. So, heavy whipping cream actual contains very little lactose in comparison to regular milk. So, substituting it for milk is a good way to reduce both carbs and lactose.
Have to admit that the powdered milk hooked me into this video. Now I’m a new subscriber! I thought I was the only person using brown butter but now the secret is out! It’s definitely my secret weapon in delivering great steaks.
I love ALL the content Guga produces. I would like to see a playlist of just the side dishes. I don’t ever remember which video contains a specific side dish therefore it would be so much easier to consume that content in a playlist or catalog format. Thanks!
I've been using a mix of milk powder and whey protein for several years (read about it in some fried chicken recipe and just adopted it to anything and everything) and people literally lose their minds when they have these steaks.
Hi Guga! Your fan here from Ireland 😁 I absolutely love your videos and have tried a lot of your steak experiments. I would like to suggest to you to try dry age a steak in Colemans English Mustered. It is hotter than, and has a completely different flavour than American or dijon mustard but when it's cooked on anything it gives an amazing flavour. I would love to see your expertise work with it😉 looking forward to seeing your next video. Wishing you and your family all the best of Irish health and happiness!
Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought would’ve tasted as good as you guys described it. I will definitely be trying it out on my next steak cook. Another off the wall technique I learned from a steakhouse in Abilene, Tx was to do the salt marinade, then before cooking, dust the steaks with flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Baste them with butter. It creates an unbelievable crust on the steaks that makes every bite savory.
I make a good steak I make Mead the leftover less yeast from making mead is a base to make a marinade sauce Depends on what I'm cooking and what flavor I'm going for this depends what I mix with it ..... The mead I make that is best for meat is a Cherry 🍒 Chocolate 🍫 & Cinnamon around 16% AV I will let the steak marinade for maybe a week in the freezer 2 days defrosting in the refrigerator Slow-cooked for over a hour either on my barbecue pit or stove top
I’ve watched a few videos and I don’t eat a lot of red meat but after this “powdered milk” steak, I had to subscribe. By the way, I’m a big fan of various butter infusions. I will definitely give your recipes a try. Thank you and keep making the excellent content. God bless.
Hi Guga! I was making steaks a bit back and realized I didn't have salt but, I had beef bouillon cubes. I, till this day, have always put it on my steaks before cooking them. I would really love it if you and the fam gave it try. I made the powder by adding pepper and grinding it in a mortar and pestle.
You cook steaks so many ways and they always seem to be better and better than the last. Do you have top 10 list of favorite steaks prepared differently?
Oh man, I'm so gonna be trying this, but reverse seared with the oven & cast iron! I suspect that searing it on a hot surface rather than over open flames will mitigate the chances of the powdered milk just getting burnt up. Will still probably take it up maybe 5° higher than normal in the oven and sear it quicker/for a shorter length of time.
Beef drippings and potatoes *drool*. During Thanksgiving I'd use the Turkey drippings with tossed Yukon Gold potatoes and roast them off. Suuuper good. It's an adjunct to what Americans usually use as mashed potatoes as a side for turkey. Slather with brown gravy and put on the lbs.
You sir, are living my dream. The highest quality steak I've ever had was a Wal-Mart ribeye. I cooked it just right so it was pretty good. Alittle tough, but still the best streak I've had in my 32 years alive. You are living the dream. I watch your videos on A5 Wagyu and the other very high quality cuts, and can only imagine the amazing flavor they must give off. Love the content brother. You keep grilling, I'll keep watching!
If it's a juicy tender steak you want, rest it for one minute per 100g at the end of cooking. Then flash it under the grill to warm it to temperature ready for plating.
I air cured with coffee mate and smoked paprika for three days and cooked on a normal cast iron skillet it was so good.. A little salty but that could of been three days sitting or to much salt but still absolutely amazing 🤤
Hey guga, you should try adding a little bi-carb soda to the potato water, it breaks down the outsides of the potato more making them more roughed up, makes the final product really crispy.
Made these steaks tonight. Holy sh**! I cook most nights, I’ve made many delicious steaks. This steak blows them all out of the water. Still eating it because it’s too good and I don’t want the meal to end
I'd love to see a "Super Episode." Take you best steaks and compare them to each other. Powdered milk, deep fried in wagyu fat, smoked then reverse seared, etc, etc...but all the bests pitted against the others
I watch a lot of cooking videos. This is the best I have seen in quite a while. I am definitely going to try both B.butter and P. milk. Just bought a whole tenderloin cut into 2inch fillets. You, my friend, have 1 more "like" and 1 new subscriber.
Try Teres Major, way cheaper than filet and just as good if not better. Smaller diameter, like medallions. Pan fried in bacon fat to crust and baked to finish.
I've had powder milk in my pantry for a while now and had no idea what to do with it, but now I will surely try this steak with it. THANKS for the idea.
Haven't watched your stuff for a couple years since I'm super busy, but it's wild to see how big you've grown! Considering how you've always had great cinematography from years of work in food/filming food, it's nice to see you get the recognition you deserve, even in spite of your occasional meat-based crimes of nature
Wow. Definitely unexpected, but worth a try if it works THAT well! I might have to try this with burger patties, to see if the change in conditions still gives the desired effect.
Try making a mush of in water-cooked unions with 1 onion and use 3 garlic dents. Until almost done cooking. Mush them with a fork and add the spiciest spices into the mush. Dress the stakes and butter them. Next to milk powder also spices can enter the stake.
Hi Guga, we learned that putting some beef tallow on top of a brisket before wrapping it for the final cooking brings the best results. How about using bone marrow instead of beef tallow? 🤔 would this take it even to a higher level? Please give it a try. Thanks ❤ Courtesy of Warp 9
That's sounds really good. Bone marrow is really rich and it tastes great. Another person mentioned putting it in burger meat. Thats a great idea too. Now I wanna try both.
Thanks guys, i do learns a lot from this video.. steak is not our daily or monthly or even our yearly food staple here.. so the effect will be like 100 times explosives i'd recon when i nail it in family dinner
Easy to see why you've got so many subscribers. I learned a lot and the way you taught it made sense right away. I didn't have to keep running the video back going what's he talking about. It's a drop in the bucket, but you just got another subscriber.
@@dlz5709 hope they will dry age with fermented fish 🐟🐟 sweedish surströmming.. now that will smell so bad from opening the can, it is normally opened outside, under water(submerged).. i would love to see that made into a paste and smeared generously on a steak.. Prolly would need a few cans too. Genius
Im trying for fathers day! Here in Peru it is difficult to find steaks the quality of The USA. Im excited for my boys to try Served with corn chowder , your potatoes and broccoli salad . Peach cobbler for desert
So I was on Amazon looking at a butane torch and in the comments a guy mentioned adding powdered milk to the steaks made them better than ever. I did a google search for "whole milk powder on steaks" and a foodiebadge came up with this video. Love the production quality and personalities of you guys. Subscribed and looking forward to trying this out ASAP!
I love when Angel and Leo are there. Leo is like a connoisseur these days into giving descriptions and Angel of course is an OG and always gives his honest opinion. Those two compliment youre videos just like butter compliments your builds XD
That looked amazing! If you ever get to my comment, try marinating the steak for at least one hour with oyster sauce and Montreal Steak Seasoning. I know that sounds sacrilegious, but it comes out very tender and the flavor is amazing! I usually marinate over night. Hope you can try!
This sounds great, is the salt from the oyster sauce enough to season? Or are you getting more salt from the steak spice? Also, just a thin layer of the sauce for the spices to stick? Thanks!
@@adamthemute just a thin layer of oyster sauce, and a generous amount of Montreal Steak Seasoning will do. I use a Zip Loc, but I'm sure vacuum seal is better. Enjoy! Let me know if you do it how it came out for you!
@@hiyaks Hey, just tried this and it was great! I used chicken legs and also tested some pieces with a thin layer of gochujang too, about a tsp per leg. 425F, 25 mins, turn the pan, 20 mins. Deglazed the pan with a touch of rice vinegar and soy and tossed in some fresh basil. Both are keepers and now to try it with beef, thanks!
@@hiyaks I'm all about these hybrid flavours and now I'm thinking what more to do! The gochujang browns a bit faster btw, maybe cover it with a piece of loose foil for the first 25 min cook, then monitor it afterwards for the last 20 mins. Would of never thought of these flavour combinations, so thanks again!
Hey Guga, I've been a religious watcher since the beginning of Covid. I love seeing all the different experiments you do on your channels to try all these different ways to cook steaks. My challenge to you is to dry age a steak in red bean paste and see how it works. Thanks, love your channel!
I will definitely try the milk coating. By your reactions and descriptions, it sounds delicious. Thank you for sharing. You always keep us entertained.
Do a sous vide milk powder experiment as well! That would be the true test, as in that case it can end up being even better, or worse actually (over powering taste, change in taste compared to the original one etc.)
great minds think alike. i have mine in the bag right now. gonna torch it with milk powder and olive oil spray. it's 10 AM here, which makes this kinda funny, milkpowder steaks for breakfast.
@@MacBikes ok so. i ran out of gas for my torch so i had to pan sear it. then i was out of olive oil spray, so i used a low smoke oil. it was crispy and flavorful. i suggest making it rarer than usual so it can have more pan time. it didn't blacken up as much as the grill. i believe this should be sousvided and grilled quickly. there is a flavor there, but it's not milky.
Omg, I always keep a big can of powered milk in my place for cooking. Being a single serving household, I never use up the milk I use to buy, so I went with powdered milk. I am so excited to try this technique. I usually cook on cash iron pan. Wish me luck!
@@convincedquaker whole milk i believe works better because higher fat content so i think it will taste better but if u cant find it then may as well just use non-fat
Yah walmart was out of whole milk for me today so I ended up buying non fat. Lol wish me luck got them in the fridge now :/ hopefully its still good lol
WOW! I just cooked a rib steak with rub and I cannot believe how good this tastes... my favorite (was) nothing but Italian salad dressing marinade (12 to 24 hours) it's a 10 on a 10 scale. But this is a 12. but as you say you really need to watch the grill... you may burn it all off.
This video caught my eye, and I tried the powdered milk on one of 2 bone in ribeyes. It definitely had the blackened searing more so than the other. Kind of on the edges and on one end as I was careful not to give it too much flame. Beautiful steaks! But the butter. Oh man, I had to try the potatoes. I didn't have any beef tallow, so I went with some nice Irish butter with the rosemary and garlic. I put it on both the steaks and the potatoes for a truly gourmet at home experience. The potatoes came out just beautiful with a flavorful crispness and fluffy, creamy inside. Perfect, and just how described in your video. Thanks for the awesome suggestions!
Dude!!!!!!!!! We did this tonight for dinner with some ny strip. It’s better!! So creamy but no change really to the steak flavor. It’s like a super butter is on the steak. Amazing recommendation thanks Guga
Yo guga, you should try making picanha as a whole roast instead of slicing it into steaks. That’s how we make it in Denmark and its delicious. TIP: To make it even better you score the fat and poke the roast with a knife to make small pockets, fill those pockets with whole garlic cloves or cut them in half if its big cloves. Cook it on the grill like you do with steaks, direct heat to sear and indirect until desired temperature is reached. Also remember to dry brine the picanha roast, but I guess I don't need to tell you ;)
I Have a couple ideas for steaks that could be interesting. Since you've done coffee before why not try various coffee creamers? See if powdered coffee creamer does the same as the dry milk perhaps, plus you can try other types of dry or wet coffee creamers, personally I'm curious how french vanilla tastes on a steak. Another Idea I had a while ago is, is it possible to cheaply cold smoke a piece of meat? Let me explain, you take something like a pickles jar and clean it out (The size of the jar depends on the size of the meat you wanna smoke) then you glue a piece of metal to the inside part of the lid in the shape of a hook to hang the meat, and once you have the meat on the hook put in a few wood chips (like 3-4 depending on the size of the chips and jar, so you may need just one) and place them in the jar and light them on fire and immediately screw the lid on with the steak on the hook glued to the lid, and make it tight cause you want as much of a air tight seal as possible and leave it in your fridge for 24 hours or multiple days, depending on your tastes. The idea is the burning woodchips will remove all the oxygen from the jar and replace it with smoke allowing you to cold smoke the meat when the fire dies down, and I was wondering if this would have the same effect as all those other smokers that are hundreds of dollars. This method (if it works) could cut down on needing to buy a smoker and cut WAY back on how much woodchips you'd need to smoke meat. Of course I'm going to assume you'd need to cook the meat afterwards aswell, but I am curious if this will give a smokey flavor to the steak for as cheap as possible or would it also cure the steak. Also using eye round would be ideal for this cheap method of smoking, wonder if there will be a twist and it will even tenderize the meat a bit.
Hey Guga. Would love to see choice steak tenderised by pineapple but then coated in milk powder (to bring back the crust as from memory that was the major issue with the pineapple methods). You should also treat yourself with the following given how amazing your channel is: -A5 Wagyu + milk powder - 90 day dry age + milk powder
Hi Guga ! You always use garlic powder to season your steak, but I was wondering if it would not be better to use other garlic seasoning like fresh garlic, garlic paste or some kind of garlic compound better ? Would you make a video about testing different kind of garlic seasoning to find out the best way ? Love you
He’s already done this in a old video, he found out that garlic powder gave the best results, and that’s why the guga steak is salt, pepper and garlic powder
A lot of people would consider just good quality Salt enough for seasoning a steak. I also like black pepper, but don't see the need for garlic powder.
Tri tip seasoned with spg, Cavender’s Greek seasoning and onion powder. Sear 5 minutes per side on a hot grill and bake in the oven at 400° 15 minutes per pound 🔥🔥🔥
Team Guga, this was an excellent episode. I must admit I thought this was going to be yet another increasingly ridiculous experiment, but I’m shook and you restored my faith in this channel. I know it will be hard, but I still hope you can do a taste test including beef varieties like Rubia Gallega (northern Spain) and Chianina (Tuscany, Italy). You’ve been focused on US and Wagyu breeds… it’s time to explore Europe’s challenges to the best steak in the world. Let’s go.
@@feiryfella Curious, what region are you referring to? In the US, while less common, we've had grass fed and/or finished beef options for a few decades, and even have a handful of Chianina and Rubia Gallega breeders/farmers, although they mostly sell to other farms or directly to restaurants. Would love to hear what Guga thinks of those!! He should do a pilgrimage to Galicia, Florence, and Scotland (origin of Angus)!
Waygu beef tallow can be had via Amazon for about $30US for a 2.6lb container. Game changer. When I grill hamburger patties, I finish them with a bit of Waygu beef tallow. I have a London Broil I'm about to sous vide that I smeared with it along with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Guga, you've made a lot of experiments that have been quite successful already! How about making a video trying to make the ultimate steak? Where you put to the test a combination of other techniques you have already tried out in order to make the best steak possible that still is steak, without too weird of a flavor or texture, but just better.

Guga now you have to make a dry aged steak wagyu A5 picanha and add msg, smoke, milkpowder and top it all off with browned butter!!
🐠 DRY AGE IN CAVIAR!! 🐠
11 MONTHS IN A ROW!
COMMENTING ON EVERY VIDEO, ON EVERY CHANNEL. COME ON GUGA! LETS GOOO! :)
What about using Coffee Mate?
how about doing a mayo experiment! try to make different types of mayo out of different types of animal fat! that sounds delicious on some type of sandwich of some sort!
At 4Million subs, guga should take all the successful experiments that he's done and combine, or rank each successful experiments for what's better than another. Or take everything he's learned and try to make the BEST experimental steak in the world!
Edit: I'm glad this comment got so much attention, I hope that this has Gugas so we can actually see this happen.
This
Yes please! That is exactly what I was thinking
Dude fr
I would also like to see a compilation and comparison of the failed experiments
We really need a round up. I came with the question on how to make my steak. 30 steak Videos later I am just left with one steak and 25 different "best" ideas on what I should try :O
I worked at a high-end restaurant in N.California when I was young (17-20 yrs. old, I'm 60 now) and they did the powdered milk deal on the rib eye's and prime rib. But also coated the prime rib with cracked black pepper. The restaurant was so busy that there would be 3 hour waiting list. We would dip the steaks in a large container of melted butter that was on the side of the huge grill. Then dip it in a container of powdered milk, then on the grill. The prime rib would be lathered with butter and olive oil mixture the coated with the powdered milk on the fat side. The slow cooked in hickory/cherry wood smokers. My job was to make sure the smokers were doing good from noon to 6p for the first batch to be done. Then kept feeding more prime ribs in till about the last one at 10p. We closed at 11:30p. Any left over we on the line would cut-up and either make sandwiches or take home. You brought back a great old memory, thanks!
Wow. Thank you for sharing this, because I have this video (and some others) saved to experiment with steaks at home and this honestly gave me some great ideas. Sounds like a wonderful memory!
Awesome knowledge. Thankyou for that comment. What could I use in rainy England to recreate the as we generally dont cook outside or have a smoker (whatever that might look like😅)?
@@Woodkin007 All you really need is low and slow cooking method. You could use an oven and cook at 200 to 225 F (93 to 95 C) and maybe even put a chunk of wood in the oven just to absorb and put in a bit of the wood smell. Not to actually burn (not safe) but it will put out some smell and into the meat.
You seriously need to make the "Guga Steak Cookbook". Fundamentals of cooking a steak the guga way. A section different dry agings and how to best do them. Receipes for sauces/powders/butters. And a section for side dishes.
10/10 will buy it.
Agreed, plus all the side dishes. It’s so hard to find any of the side dish recipes in his videos so a book would be great.
@@redeye1016 I taken to bookmarking videos with good side dishes and putting the side dish name at the end of the bookmark title. I'd totally buy a Steak and side-dish Guga cookbook.
I heard him mention it in a video that he keeps track of the things that work and the things that don't work see, so I'm sure he has enough to put together at least a short cookbook by now!
This comment had 69 likes, And I ruined it 😈
I'm surprised to hear they don't have that already! I was thinking the same thing.
I gotta tell you…I didn’t make the powdered milk steak but I DID make those potatoes. I just had the in-laws over for Mother’s Day and after the first bite, they both immediately looked at me and said “how did you make these potatoes?!”
They were THAT good! As always, thanks for the tips, love the videos!
You should really try it. Be wild!! Go for it!!!
Finally, someone that knows how to cook a good milksteak. Charlie would be proud.
With a side of belly beans. Raw
I really think milksteak boiled hard with jellybeans is supposed to be a bechamel sauce steak with baked beans but the mother gave up and did the fastest cooking method she could.
Oh my God! Babish missed this opportunity in his video
Oh my God, Charlie is vindicated by this video
lol thank you for this
My daughter is about to turn 8. I asked her what she wanted for her birthday, and she said, "A steak experiment." You have taught her well!
Get her a milk steak with plenty of blue.
I love a budding researcher
That's cute
Even through just reading the text of this comment, I can see you welling up with pride when she asked for that for her birthday! 😁
That's just good parenting
The reason why this is probably working is the crust you get when you sear a steak is the proteins in the meat browning. By adding milk powder, you are adding concentrated casein protein, which is the protein that browns when you make browned butter. So, you’re actually making a crust out of browned casein protein, so you’re getting a super caramelization effect. Good idea. I wonder if an unflavored casein protein supplement would have the same effect?
are you saying i can use my casein protein as brine for that extra gainz?
@@ennisdelmar807 depends how much gas you want to produce.
@@TheMillennialGardener my ass can produce enough thrust to send me to mars as long as the taste improvement is proportional
what if I used my whey protein?
@@ebonychan This was a great comment, my man. I laughed a good amount
I've been cooking and baking for almost 58 years, but I learn new things all the time. Thanks!
Now, dry age the steak with the milk powder!
Very creative (sarcasm)
I second this idea
wagyu a5 too!
I third this idea
But the milk based dry aged stuff turns out bad i think, the yogurt and cheese expirments werent that good. I think just milk stuff gets sour.
I am from the Netherlands and I love steaks, i am a chef for more than 45 years now. And i cooked a lot of steaks. Since i now only cook for friends, i am more free to experiment, this one has my attention friends. I don't have suggestions at this moment. What i wanted o say is this. watching your channel , seeing you guys enjoy good steaks makes me very happy, the enthousiasm is amazing. Please never stop maken vids like this.
just curious, rob, where in the Netherlands? I love the Netherlands, just so you know.
How are you going to deal with the fact your politicians have voted to halve livestock farming in your country?
My husband just bought a new grill that we're picking up next week. Can't wait. Yum.
how did the experiment turn out?
legend
Another friendly reminder to dry age a ribeye 30-35 days in miso paste 🥩 Sometimes, we really do have good suggestions down here in the comments 😃
What Kind of Miso? Red? White? Mixed?
I seen you consistently post this comment on Guga's videos. I'll give it a like.
Guga, listen to this person.
Guga might already seen yours and prepared one in advance, just waiting for the dry age process maybe 🤣 you're definitely dedicated to this, I'm impressed
I concur.
Man, I love you guys so much, I was a chef for 5 yrs, and I love to learn all the different ways to cool the steak. Actually, I recently find it from a local restaurant called 'The meat and wine co' in Sydney, I can taste their steak is marinated or seasoned by milk, I am just not sure if it's marinated by milk or seasoned by milk powder. You guys just gave me the answer, I definitely will try it out tomorrow!
I tried this today!! I had to do it differently. Here in Japan I have some buttermilk powder. Buttermilk doesn't exist in Japan so some friends sent this to me. I used this powdered buttermilk on pork! I added a some dry basil and salt and it fried it with zuccini, yellow bell pepper, and chinese leek with some ravioli. It was AMAZING!
I'd eat that
DAMN! That sounds incredible, thanks for sharing!
You know you can make buttermilk, right? All you have to do is take regular milk and let it ferment. The lactose is oxidized to lactic acid, which lowers the ph and causes the fat to precipitate as butter.
@@stefanl5183 this doesnt work with all milk in all countries. in america regular whole milk will never do this, but ive had success with a few of the more expensive "organic" varieties. a decent work around if your country's milk refuses to ferment is to use a milk mushroom (aka tibetan milk fungus).
@@yura37 not sure if it would work for steak per se but i know in baking you can just substitute 1 Tbsp of vinegar and a cup of milk... but its not flavor per se it has more to do with activating the baking soda which is what the vinegar basically does
I’ve watched a lot of these steak comparisons. This one with the milk powder is the first one I am actually going to try for myself.
Tell us what it's like when you do
yep sounds like a genuine home run. i dont think its common for the most experimental steak to be praised as the best by all 3 of them
The fact that it’s so easy to do too makes me think i’m going to try it
me too Matthew!
Me, too!
okok wait. You've made the Eye of Round steaks a lot more tender with the pineapple marinade, but the downside is that it gives it less of a crust.
so what if we did the pineapple marinade on the eye round, then cover it with dry whole milk after? would that bring the crust back AND keep the tenderness of the pineapple?
Guga you know it has to be done
you're up to something
Please guga 🤩
Brilliant
That's exactly what I was thinking
Never in a million years would I have thought to include milk powder on my steak! But I trust you guys so gonna try it right away! Thanks so much!!!
It's a year later, and I'm interested to know if you made that steak. If so, was it as good as they said?
I think the milk powder worked because you basically massively increased the amount of reducing sugar available for the maillard reaction.
A maillard reaction is a reaction between a reducing sugar and an amino acid, so by increasing the amount of reducing sugar available will result in more maillard reactions occuring.
I think something better would be to use a combination of _malted milk powder_ and _diastatic malt extract._ Both contain maltose and lactose, which are reducing sugars, and the diastatic part refers to the enzyme activity of the malt powder. Those enzymes are used especially in bread making to get a better crust. I think it would produce an even better crust on the steak than the straight milk powder did.
The other part of the maillard reaction are amino acids. Roasting foods, and other dry heat cooking methods break down proteins and release free amino acids, especially glutamate, which provides umami flavors, and those free amino acids undergo maillard reactions resulting in even more flavor.
You _could_ try to increase the amount of free amino acids by adding protease enzymes, like those found in pineapple, papaya, kiwi, yoghurt, and kefir. But, through cooking steak with dry heat methods you get a ton of free amino acids anyway, and malted milk powder has a ton of protein too. You could try making a steak with a full dairy marinade by mixing diastatic malt powder and malted milk powder with yoghurt or kefir to increase both the free amino acids, _and_ the reducing sugars available. Or try to marinade in a mixture of diastatic malt powder, malted milk powder, and pineapple or something. But, I think the best idea would be to just use a mix of malted milk powder, and diastatic malt extract.
_Food_ for thought...
hope he sees this
That's some dedication dude, keep it up 🙌
by your logic spread sugar over the steak. get real
He needs to do this
My Name Is Andong made a video for super buttery popcorn that basically used super-brown butter, made just like regular brown butter but adding milk powder as additional solids to fry up and caramellize. Def should check it out as well, very similar ideas.
The thing with milk powder is that it’s the equivalent of msg for baking, it creates that savory taste that we find in cookies
Uncle Roger "MSG, FUUHHOOO"
Why are you eating savoury cookies?
@@rookere1604 it’s a flavor note in a cookie, they can be flawlessly sweet and savory. Try out milk bar’s cornflake marshmallow and “compost” cookies for a perfect example
@@scotttenerman9191 yeah the little bit of saltiness that comes through in a chocolate chip cookie is 😋
@@rookere1604 Saltiness brings out sweetness. That’s why dark chocolate goes so well with sea salt.
Hey Guga! I think having a SIDE DISH COMPILATION video would be great. Its hard to find specific side dishes you make, but a compilation of your best side dishes would make it easier.
YES! This please Guga
Agreed.
I guess Charlie Day knew something we didn't "Milk Steak"
Also whenever I watch these kind of episodes my mouth starts watering.
Keep it up man!
Im surprised that a lot more ppl hasn't commented about milk steak lol
@@noahhowell3888 I clicked on the video just to see if anyone did
Just missing a side of the finest jelly beans, raw.
Dude Charlie is living in 3022 with his ideas
Next marinate one in Wolf cola
Definitely need to riff on the powdered milk, now that it's such a hit. Perhaps a spice mixture with the milk, compound butter, or a dry aging experiment.
Good idea
Or powdered butter
the potatoes used similar technique to British roasted potatoes! A tip to get the surface even crispier is to put a small amount of baking powder in the water with the potatoes as they boil, not sure why it works but it does, just be careful not to use too much otherwise the potatoes will taste like baking powder
Changes the ph and helps with crisping
Just shoogle them them in the pan so you break up the surface. No need for baking powder.
@@feiryfella This is definitely essential and you should also do it if you add baking powder or not but I promise, if you also add baking soda or powder, like half a teaspoon, to the water you boil them in, it will create an even crispier surface
Higher pH (alkaline) acts as a catalyst for the maillard reaction. So, there's more cooked flavor for a given amount of cooking, likewise lower pH (acidic) lowers the rate of maillard reactions.
Yeah these are pretty much British roasted potatoes. I've tried them before and they are delicious
guga you are always a wonderful example of positivity combined with delicious AND accessible cooking. love the vids man, can't wait for the show/book/restaurant!
Just cooked this recipe with ribeyes, New York strip, porterhouse, and t bone steaks for a party. It was a big hit! Some said it was best flavor of any steak they ever had. Thx for the idea. Love your show.
As a pro chef and person who loves all things smoked and BBQ'd I want to say your channel is amazing! One thing I learned about cooking potatoes is always preheat the pan with some of your fat before adding the potatoes. Yours do look perfect I must admit.
Guga, for the browned butter, I have an optimization to recommend. Let the butter foam twice, and go ahead and let the milk solids darken gradually (medium low heat) until they're the color of coffee grounds. Then, pour the butter into a clean dry french press coffee maker, and leave it for long enough to let the solids settle out. Then, cut a patch of paper coffee filter, place it over the French press plunger, and gently press it through the butter. What this does is filter the butter through the coffee filter and separate out the solids. (You're going to want to use the French press because gravity filtering takes too long for this, and the filter gets clogged too easily if you don't first let most of the solids settle out.) The flavor of the butter itself won't be any worse; it will be better because the caramelization process is even further developed, while the solids, which will have given up their flavor and will not taste as good when dark brown, will have been filtered out.
Try this and see if it isn't better than what you did.
Even better: add powdered milk to the butter for an even more intense brown-butter flavor. The milk solids in the powdered milk act the same way as the milk solids in the butter.
@@landdreugh9955 even better: throw in a steak
I just pour it through a really fine sieve.
@@c.odubhlaoich2948 I've done that, and here's what I noticed. No mesh sieve is fine enough to get the fine bits of burnt milk solids, and they clog easily. I've also used a coffee filter but it takes far too long. After the initial bit that filters through it just grinds to a halt and hardly passes any liquid through. This is why I recommend the method I described.
@@Berkana Maybe we cook at different temps, because I do it low enough to where I can just leave it and not stir to avoid burning, at least for me I've noticed that this way the milk solids clump in larger size enough to where if there is any bits passing through the sieve it's small enough to where I don't notice. My sieve is very fine though. I wonder if a cheese cloth layered a couple times could be used for speed too. Not that your idea is bad at all, I know it would be very efficient
Make Angel cook a prime steak, and Guga cook a Wallmart steak. Let Maumau and Leo guess who cooked what steak
This is a good one too!!!!
nice idea
i would have guga make a butchers cut/a cut that is usually left for the butcher because of it being so unpopular
@@deathi yeah something like that. Thats the idea anyway, make Guga cook a crappy steak and Angel an awesome steak. Angel can cook though, he did some videos. Maybe Leo could cook, I don't think we ever saw him cook on this show yet!
@@deathiMy grandfather was a butcher and he talks about how he got to bring home all the hanger and bavette steaks he wanted because no one knew how to cook them so they wouldn’t sell like a normal strip or porterhouse
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. ;)
This is my first video of yours, just randomly found today!!! I am EXTREMELY impressed!!!! Not only did you cook 3 beautiful steaks, you let us see the whole process from start to finish including every side touch done to increase the flavor of the food. explaining it all along the way. AND to top ALL of that greatness, you spoke very clearly with the perfect cadence and volume to your voice and the dialect, so that it made it very easy to catch each word and not need to replay, which is very common for me as I have a hearing impairment, so GREAT JOB, and Thank You!!!
It probably doesn't need to be said now, but I will anyway. I crushed the like button, I smashed the sub button, and I rang that bells ringer!!! 💖💖😊😊😊😊💖💖

Welcome to the community!
I remember watching you when you were only 30k subs and now your 3 million. I've been with you for years guga and I have learned a lot from you and my family always come to me when we bbq. I love your channel really your the best cooking channel imo on UA-cam
Guga, Thanks for all you do. You’ve helped my family enjoy dinners together as I’ve learned from your suggestions, success and failures along the way. I’m so happy for you and your family on the well earned success of your channels!! Way to go!
You have probably seen this before but my go to is: Coat steak in Dijon mustard and a little sea salt, you can add rosemary and garlic to the mixture or sriracha if you like a little spice, refrigerator for 6-8 hours, let rise to room temperature remove excess coating and then grill. I’m going to add milk powder to the mix next time. FYI you guys are amazing.
I've done that with a rack of lamb, it was the best thing ever. I'll try it with beef one of these days.
I didn't think milk powder would work, but when it did my first thought was "would malted milk powder work better?" It already has a deeper , more complex flavor slightly sweet but with it's own umami. Perhaps as a paste in sous vide or in dry ageing, I think I could find 12 different ways to test this
That's a good idea...
Report back with your findings, please
I swear this channel keeps getting better... the energy you 3 bring is fantastic.
I swear it gets worse n worse.
You should do a miso paste dry age! I've cooked American Wagyu in a cast iron with black garlic and miso butter and it was the best steak I've ever had. I'd love to see what miso does to a dry age!
He did a miso experiment a few months back, but it wasn't dry aged.
LOVELY SOUNDS TASTY REGARDS KLAUS SCHWAB
I just love the honest fun of these guys. Love love love!
powdered milk is also great for having in your cereal. it makes the milk a little bit more creamy. worth a try if you've never done it.
Ah yes, the forbidden cereal with double milk
I will try this sounds amazing
20% more milk per milk
@@Abossow77 You should try it with heavy whipping cream instead of milk. Interesting fact, some people who are lactose intolerant and cannot drink milk can drink heavy whipping cream. Why? Because if you'll notice on the nutritional information, heavy whipping cream is most fat and protein and is actually very low in carbs, usually < 1 g per serving. Lactose is sugar, which is of course carbohydrate. So, heavy whipping cream actual contains very little lactose in comparison to regular milk. So, substituting it for milk is a good way to reduce both carbs and lactose.
Have to admit that the powdered milk hooked me into this video. Now I’m a new subscriber! I thought I was the only person using brown butter but now the secret is out! It’s definitely my secret weapon in delivering great steaks.
I love ALL the content Guga produces. I would like to see a playlist of just the side dishes. I don’t ever remember which video contains a specific side dish therefore it would be so much easier to consume that content in a playlist or catalog format. Thanks!
Guga should make the side dishes into shorts
I wouldn't mind a recipe book with all the side dishes in
Ty all for the idea, the sub that brought it up an the Guga team for putting it out. Going to steal my kids milk powder next time to try it out!
I've been using a mix of milk powder and whey protein for several years (read about it in some fried chicken recipe and just adopted it to anything and everything) and people literally lose their minds when they have these steaks.
Any favorite brands that you suggest? Also, what's your ratio of milk powder to whey protein?
Can you share the chicken recipe please?
Share the recipe

Hi Guga! Your fan here from Ireland 😁 I absolutely love your videos and have tried a lot of your steak experiments. I would like to suggest to you to try dry age a steak in Colemans English Mustered. It is hotter than, and has a completely different flavour than American or dijon mustard but when it's cooked on anything it gives an amazing flavour. I would love to see your expertise work with it😉 looking forward to seeing your next video. Wishing you and your family all the best of Irish health and happiness!
Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought would’ve tasted as good as you guys described it. I will definitely be trying it out on my next steak cook.
Another off the wall technique I learned from a steakhouse in Abilene, Tx was to do the salt marinade, then before cooking, dust the steaks with flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Baste them with butter. It creates an unbelievable crust on the steaks that makes every bite savory.
im from abilene tx also. Would this place be jo allens bbq and steakhouse?
I make a good steak
I make Mead the leftover less yeast from making mead is a base to make a marinade sauce
Depends on what I'm cooking and what flavor I'm going for this depends what I mix with it .....
The mead I make that is best for meat is a Cherry 🍒 Chocolate 🍫 & Cinnamon around 16% AV
I will let the steak marinade for maybe a week in the freezer
2 days defrosting in the refrigerator
Slow-cooked for over a hour either on my barbecue pit or stove top
I’ve watched a few videos and I don’t eat a lot of red meat but after this “powdered milk” steak, I had to subscribe. By the way, I’m a big fan of various butter infusions. I will definitely give your recipes a try. Thank you and keep making the excellent content. God bless.
Hi Guga! I was making steaks a bit back and realized I didn't have salt but, I had beef bouillon cubes. I, till this day, have always put it on my steaks before cooking them. I would really love it if you and the fam gave it try. I made the powder by adding pepper and grinding it in a mortar and pestle.
You cook steaks so many ways and they always seem to be better and better than the last. Do you have top 10 list of favorite steaks prepared differently?
Oh man, I'm so gonna be trying this, but reverse seared with the oven & cast iron! I suspect that searing it on a hot surface rather than over open flames will mitigate the chances of the powdered milk just getting burnt up. Will still probably take it up maybe 5° higher than normal in the oven and sear it quicker/for a shorter length of time.
British Roast Potatoes. Personally I just use butter and salt after par boiling them. Beef dripping or goose fat are other popular options too.
Beef drippings and potatoes *drool*. During Thanksgiving I'd use the Turkey drippings with tossed Yukon Gold potatoes and roast them off. Suuuper good. It's an adjunct to what Americans usually use as mashed potatoes as a side for turkey. Slather with brown gravy and put on the lbs.
Good job on the roast potatoes guga.. you’ve done this Brit proud and you have the seal of approval for Sunday roast potatoes 🥔 👏🏼 👌🏼
You sir, are living my dream. The highest quality steak I've ever had was a Wal-Mart ribeye. I cooked it just right so it was pretty good. Alittle tough, but still the best streak I've had in my 32 years alive. You are living the dream. I watch your videos on A5 Wagyu and the other very high quality cuts, and can only imagine the amazing flavor they must give off. Love the content brother. You keep grilling, I'll keep watching!
Cook the same steak sous-vide and the results will be fantastic.
If it's a juicy tender steak you want, rest it for one minute per 100g at the end of cooking.
Then flash it under the grill to warm it to temperature ready for plating.
The secret of the potato crust is in the rough/fluffy surface - this can be further enhanced by adding baking soda to the cooking water.
Thanks for the tip.. how much
@@willyjohn6352 The original recipe suggested 1Tsp for 4 quarts of cooking water, but we liberally increased it to 2-3...
@@ckraftolino3915 Cool thanks..
When they come out of the water the potatoes look fuzzy. You only have to toss them once or twice to break them down a bit more before frying
Thank you. Going to use this when I make staff meal at work
I air cured with coffee mate and smoked paprika for three days and cooked on a normal cast iron skillet it was so good.. A little salty but that could of been three days sitting or to much salt but still absolutely amazing 🤤
CoffeMate!! Would have never thought of that!! Going to give it a try!!! 👍
Hey guga, you should try adding a little bi-carb soda to the potato water, it breaks down the outsides of the potato more making them more roughed up, makes the final product really crispy.
Made these steaks tonight. Holy sh**! I cook most nights, I’ve made many delicious steaks. This steak blows them all out of the water. Still eating it because it’s too good and I don’t want the meal to end
I'd like to see a whole bunch of smoked salts experiments, and also to see when you make the brown butter putting smoked salts into it.
He's done it
I'd love to see a "Super Episode." Take you best steaks and compare them to each other. Powdered milk, deep fried in wagyu fat, smoked then reverse seared, etc, etc...but all the bests pitted against the others
I watch a lot of cooking videos. This is the best I have seen in quite a while. I am definitely going to try both B.butter and P. milk. Just bought a whole tenderloin cut into 2inch fillets. You, my friend, have 1 more "like" and 1 new subscriber.
Try Teres Major, way cheaper than filet and just as good if not better. Smaller diameter, like medallions. Pan fried in bacon fat to crust and baked to finish.
I've had powder milk in my pantry for a while now and had no idea what to do with it, but now I will surely try this steak with it. THANKS for the idea.
Little trick to make the potato ruff when boiling them is to add baking soda to the water.
Does the soda bicarbonate change the taste of the potatoes?
@@dontfeelcold Maybe if you put too much it would but the small amount used did not change the taste.
Charlie Day has been telling us to put milk on our steaks for decades, but nobody listened.
I came to the comments looking for this statement. Thank you for your service 🦾
Haven't watched your stuff for a couple years since I'm super busy, but it's wild to see how big you've grown! Considering how you've always had great cinematography from years of work in food/filming food, it's nice to see you get the recognition you deserve, even in spite of your occasional meat-based crimes of nature
Thank you Guga and team - every time enjoy watching your recipes
Wow. Definitely unexpected, but worth a try if it works THAT well! I might have to try this with burger patties, to see if the change in conditions still gives the desired effect.
Try making a mush of in water-cooked unions with 1 onion and use 3 garlic dents. Until almost done cooking. Mush them with a fork and add the spiciest spices into the mush. Dress the stakes and butter them. Next to milk powder also spices can enter the stake.
Water cooked unions... Hmmm.
Hi Guga, we learned that putting some beef tallow on top of a brisket before wrapping it for the final cooking brings the best results. How about using bone marrow instead of beef tallow? 🤔 would this take it even to a higher level? Please give it a try. Thanks ❤

Second this. DOOO EEEETT
Try adding bone marrow to your smashed burger mix - it takes the juiciness to a whole new level!
Pretty sure he did an experiment with bone marrow that turned out great!
That's sounds really good. Bone marrow is really rich and it tastes great. Another person mentioned putting it in burger meat. Thats a great idea too. Now I wanna try both.
Thanks guys, i do learns a lot from this video.. steak is not our daily or monthly or even our yearly food staple here.. so the effect will be like 100 times explosives i'd recon when i nail it in family dinner
Wow what a crazy idea! Seems pretty good. I suggest you try using STARFRUIT on steaks, starfruit marinade and compound butter. Cheers! ⭐👍
I back this
Absolutely going to give this a try. Never would have thought to use powdered milk!
Those potatoes follow the traditional method for our Sunday roast potatoes here in the UK 😁
Exactly how I do them!
Easy to see why you've got so many subscribers. I learned a lot and the way you taught it made sense right away. I didn't have to keep running the video back going what's he talking about. It's a drop in the bucket, but you just got another subscriber.
Steak dry aged or just normaly done with oyster sauce. You can try it on pork too. It softens the meat a lot and keeps it fresh for a long time
it's gonna smell really bad haha

@@sharonstuebi8181 …… I’m coming over for dinner😂😂👍👍❤️❤️
I love seeing genuine reactions from you guys,it shows those steaks taste incredibly scrumptious!!!
🎉😍😂😋👍💐
It can still be a total act.
So I was on Amazon looking at a butane torch and in the comments a guy mentioned adding powdered milk to the steaks made them better than ever. I did a google search for "whole milk powder on steaks" and a foodiebadge came up with this video. Love the production quality and personalities of you guys. Subscribed and looking forward to trying this out ASAP!
I love when Angel and Leo are there. Leo is like a connoisseur these days into giving descriptions and Angel of course is an OG and always gives his honest opinion. Those two compliment youre videos just like butter compliments your builds XD
That looked amazing! If you ever get to my comment, try marinating the steak for at least one hour with oyster sauce and Montreal Steak Seasoning. I know that sounds sacrilegious, but it comes out very tender and the flavor is amazing! I usually marinate over night. Hope you can try!
This sounds great, is the salt from the oyster sauce enough to season? Or are you getting more salt from the steak spice? Also, just a thin layer of the sauce for the spices to stick? Thanks!
@@adamthemute just a thin layer of oyster sauce, and a generous amount of Montreal Steak Seasoning will do. I use a Zip Loc, but I'm sure vacuum seal is better. Enjoy! Let me know if you do it how it came out for you!
@@hiyaks Hey, just tried this and it was great! I used chicken legs and also tested some pieces with a thin layer of gochujang too, about a tsp per leg. 425F, 25 mins, turn the pan, 20 mins. Deglazed the pan with a touch of rice vinegar and soy and tossed in some fresh basil. Both are keepers and now to try it with beef, thanks!
@@adamthemute OMG that sounds amazing! I'll have to try it with chicken and gochujang, glad you liked it!
@@hiyaks I'm all about these hybrid flavours and now I'm thinking what more to do! The gochujang browns a bit faster btw, maybe cover it with a piece of loose foil for the first 25 min cook, then monitor it afterwards for the last 20 mins. Would of never thought of these flavour combinations, so thanks again!
Hey Guga, I've been a religious watcher since the beginning of Covid. I love seeing all the different experiments you do on your channels to try all these different ways to cook steaks. My challenge to you is to dry age a steak in red bean paste and see how it works. Thanks, love your channel!
MY SALIVA GLANDS ARE WORKING OVERTIME WATCHING YOU GUYS EATING THE AMAZING STEAKS AND BURGERS. YOU ARE SIMPLY FANTASTIC.
I will definitely try the milk coating. By your reactions and descriptions, it sounds delicious.
Thank you for sharing.
You always keep us entertained.
Do a sous vide milk powder experiment as well! That would be the true test, as in that case it can end up being even better, or worse actually (over powering taste, change in taste compared to the original one etc.)
great minds think alike. i have mine in the bag right now. gonna torch it with milk powder and olive oil spray. it's 10 AM here, which makes this kinda funny, milkpowder steaks for breakfast.
@@fumesniff let me know how it turned out
@@fumesniff yes I want to know too
Please update us man!
@@MacBikes ok so. i ran out of gas for my torch so i had to pan sear it. then i was out of olive oil spray, so i used a low smoke oil. it was crispy and flavorful. i suggest making it rarer than usual so it can have more pan time. it didn't blacken up as much as the grill. i believe this should be sousvided and grilled quickly. there is a flavor there, but it's not milky.
Omg, I always keep a big can of powered milk in my place for cooking. Being a single serving household, I never use up the milk I use to buy, so I went with powdered milk. I am so excited to try this technique. I usually cook on cash iron pan. Wish me luck!
Is it nonfat or whole milk powder?
@@convincedquaker whole milk i believe works better because higher fat content so i think it will taste better but if u cant find it then may as well just use non-fat
Yah walmart was out of whole milk for me today so I ended up buying non fat. Lol wish me luck got them in the fridge now :/ hopefully its still good lol
WOW! I just cooked a rib steak with rub and I cannot believe how good this tastes... my favorite (was) nothing but Italian salad dressing marinade (12 to 24 hours) it's a 10 on a 10 scale. But this is a 12. but as you say you really need to watch the grill... you may burn it all off.
I tried the powdered milk on a nice ribeye this evening. IT WAS AMAZING!!!!
Did you use Whole Milk Powder? I went to the store to try and recreate this recipe but all I can seem to find is Non-Fat Milk powder.
@@PESantiago I couldn't find whole milk powder either. I used non-fat dry milk.
@@PESantiago You can get what he uses on Amazon cheap.
This video caught my eye, and I tried the powdered milk on one of 2 bone in ribeyes. It definitely had the blackened searing more so than the other. Kind of on the edges and on one end as I was careful not to give it too much flame. Beautiful steaks!
But the butter. Oh man, I had to try the potatoes. I didn't have any beef tallow, so I went with some nice Irish butter with the rosemary and garlic. I put it on both the steaks and the potatoes for a truly gourmet at home experience. The potatoes came out just beautiful with a flavorful crispness and fluffy, creamy inside. Perfect, and just how described in your video.
Thanks for the awesome suggestions!
Love the powdered milk idea..question.. did you also baste the powdered milk steak with brown butter in the video?…couldn’t tell.
Guga, my Name is Sir Kim. I currently am back living I the Philippines. l watch all your videos. I'd like to say keep up the good work brother!
Dude!!!!!!!!! We did this tonight for dinner with some ny strip. It’s better!! So creamy but no change really to the steak flavor. It’s like a super butter is on the steak. Amazing recommendation thanks Guga
Yo guga, you should try making picanha as a whole roast instead of slicing it into steaks. That’s how we make it in Denmark and its delicious. TIP: To make it even better you score the fat and poke the roast with a knife to make small pockets, fill those pockets with whole garlic cloves or cut them in half if its big cloves. Cook it on the grill like you do with steaks, direct heat to sear and indirect until desired temperature is reached. Also remember to dry brine the picanha roast, but I guess I don't need to tell you ;)
I Have a couple ideas for steaks that could be interesting. Since you've done coffee before why not try various coffee creamers? See if powdered coffee creamer does the same as the dry milk perhaps, plus you can try other types of dry or wet coffee creamers, personally I'm curious how french vanilla tastes on a steak.
Another Idea I had a while ago is, is it possible to cheaply cold smoke a piece of meat? Let me explain, you take something like a pickles jar and clean it out (The size of the jar depends on the size of the meat you wanna smoke) then you glue a piece of metal to the inside part of the lid in the shape of a hook to hang the meat, and once you have the meat on the hook put in a few wood chips (like 3-4 depending on the size of the chips and jar, so you may need just one) and place them in the jar and light them on fire and immediately screw the lid on with the steak on the hook glued to the lid, and make it tight cause you want as much of a air tight seal as possible and leave it in your fridge for 24 hours or multiple days, depending on your tastes. The idea is the burning woodchips will remove all the oxygen from the jar and replace it with smoke allowing you to cold smoke the meat when the fire dies down, and I was wondering if this would have the same effect as all those other smokers that are hundreds of dollars. This method (if it works) could cut down on needing to buy a smoker and cut WAY back on how much woodchips you'd need to smoke meat. Of course I'm going to assume you'd need to cook the meat afterwards aswell, but I am curious if this will give a smokey flavor to the steak for as cheap as possible or would it also cure the steak. Also using eye round would be ideal for this cheap method of smoking, wonder if there will be a twist and it will even tenderize the meat a bit.
It's the protein in the milk that adds the crust. Powderd creamer amy not work unless it also has protein.
I will try with the powdered milk, but will add pepper, garlic powder and onion powder and use as a dry rub on top of steak already salted.
Hey Guga.
Would love to see choice steak tenderised by pineapple but then coated in milk powder (to bring back the crust as from memory that was the major issue with the pineapple methods).
You should also treat yourself with the following given how amazing your channel is:
-A5 Wagyu + milk powder
- 90 day dry age + milk powder
I would love to see the guys react to veal schnitzels made in oil, wagyu tallow, lard and clarified butter.
Hi Guga !
You always use garlic powder to season your steak, but I was wondering if it would not be better to use other garlic seasoning like fresh garlic, garlic paste or some kind of garlic compound better ?
Would you make a video about testing different kind of garlic seasoning to find out the best way ?
Love you
He’s already done this in a old video, he found out that garlic powder gave the best results, and that’s why the guga steak is salt, pepper and garlic powder
fresh garlic burns and gets very bitter
The only thing better that he should be using is granulized garlic instead of garlic powder. Granulized is always better for steak seasoning imo
A lot of people would consider just good quality Salt enough for seasoning a steak. I also like black pepper, but don't see the need for garlic powder.
Tri tip seasoned with spg, Cavender’s Greek seasoning and onion powder. Sear 5 minutes per side on a hot grill and bake in the oven at 400° 15 minutes per pound 🔥🔥🔥
Team Guga, this was an excellent episode. I must admit I thought this was going to be yet another increasingly ridiculous experiment, but I’m shook and you restored my faith in this channel.
I know it will be hard, but I still hope you can do a taste test including beef varieties like Rubia Gallega (northern Spain) and Chianina (Tuscany, Italy). You’ve been focused on US and Wagyu breeds… it’s time to explore Europe’s challenges to the best steak in the world. Let’s go.
He does steaks every one can get here.☺
@@annmcdaniel1092 However, many, many subscibers live worldwide and would like to see more variety. We do not get the steaks you do.
Thank you for pointing this out, Rhiannon! Besides, if anyone can get those steaks in the US, it's Guga!
@@scotstafford For example, all our beef is grass fed, so it's leaner and less marbled-dry ages wonderfully, but not as fatty.
@@feiryfella Curious, what region are you referring to? In the US, while less common, we've had grass fed and/or finished beef options for a few decades, and even have a handful of Chianina and Rubia Gallega breeders/farmers, although they mostly sell to other farms or directly to restaurants.
Would love to hear what Guga thinks of those!! He should do a pilgrimage to Galicia, Florence, and Scotland (origin of Angus)!
This channel summed up perfectly when Guga says, "You can use butter, but I'm gonna use Waygu fat." We wish we could guga, we wish. Hahaha
Waygu beef tallow can be had via Amazon for about $30US for a 2.6lb container. Game changer. When I grill hamburger patties, I finish them with a bit of Waygu beef tallow. I have a London Broil I'm about to sous vide that I smeared with it along with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Guga, you've made a lot of experiments that have been quite successful already! How about making a video trying to make the ultimate steak? Where you put to the test a combination of other techniques you have already tried out in order to make the best steak possible that still is steak, without too weird of a flavor or texture, but just better.
