    I’m Italian and una fiorentina, which is how we often call it, is pretty often a bit more cooked than blue because most people don’t like it that raw, but many older people like it like Guga made it, so good job and thanks for cooking my favorite steak

    Dianne has an easier sister sauce called chasseur. Also known as "hunter's sauce" it uses fewer ingredients and is built in the pan after searing off your back-strap. This is the only pan sauce I make with venison.
    A tip for building any pan-sauce, cut and freeze your butter. The key to having it not break is to have the butter whisked or stirred into the sauce as gradually as possible. Freezing it help slow down the incorporation, making a homogeneous, silky sauce.

    I used to like my steaks blue rare, but then a girlfriend I had in my early 20s clued me in to letting the fat render a little, the whole draw of medium rare. Way more flavor that way. When I was a kid, my mom was the kind of person who had two temperatures for food: raw and burnt. Given those two choices, that's where I got my taste for ultra-rare meat in the first place.

    • @nyvisalays2475

    The flank steak is litterally the most under appreciated cut of beef, its affordable and juicy no matter how its cooked, i preffer to have a little bit of chew to my steaks so its not super tender but man im tellin ya, its good by itself, makes badass tacos, and also makes a great topping for ramen but it needs to be sliced at 1/4" or less for perfection, its still good though sliced at 1" thick

      You should never eat raw meat. Even if you know exactly where the meat came from, there is always a high risk of catching a food born illness. There is a reason we cook meat. The eggs are fine, typically raw eggs are pretty safe to eat due to the sterile environment inside the eggshell, the beef itself is a completely different story.

    Was a little kid in the '70s and our steaks were market steaks (now called boneless ribeye), which were cheap at the time, cooked in cast iron with lots of butter and garlic. We'd often slice the cloves in half or quarters, make slits in the steak, especially near the fat where it naturally separated, and put the chunks of garlic in the steak while it cooked. Skirt steaks were also common.
    What went with it was usually something like brussel sprouts, broccoli, potatoes, sliced tomatoes and green onions, asparagus with hollandaise sauce or just butter and lemon juice, or something similar.
    In the late '80s and very early '90s big chunks of grilled tri-tip became popular and that was often a weekend thing.
    And in the '90s I was a broke college student and then working overseas in Asia, so steak was off the menu for a while.

    I worked at Golden Corral in 1988-1989, and it was not yet "& Buffet." We had a salad bar that could be added on, but steaks were served from the kitchen as they were cooked with a baked potato (or french fries) and a roll. Were they high quality? No. But they also weren't sitting under heat lamps for hours. The graze-all-day buffet GC didn't come into being until the 1990s.

      @kndacus 4 місяці тому +2

      @@godofannoyance The salad bar was huge. It was a T-shaped monstrosity that took up quite a bit of space in the main room. The salad stuff was across the top of the T, while the "stem" of the T had a hot bar with fried wings, rolls, nacho fixings and baked-potato toppings, and two or three caldrons of soup at the very bottom of the T. Most of the time I worked there, I was "on salad bar," which meant both stocking and cleaning it (and people are gross). It also meant I didn't usually have to interact with customers, and I got paid a little over minimum wage and didn't rely on tips. Of course, I was in high school, so min. wage was fine for me back then ($3.35/hour). I think the salad/hot bar just grew and grew and they realized it was cheaper to pay people minimum wage to stock premade, reheated stuff on a buffet than to buy fresh food to cook to order and pay cooks and servers.

    Excellent that you showed the correct way to cook the thicker cuts of steak by starting with a good, fast initial sear over direct heat to coat the meat with a nice crust before then finishing off the cooking slowly using indirect heat (I'll usually transfer the meat to a moderately heated oven to finish it for 8-12 minutes or so depending on thickness and then rest it). I've seen too many armature backyard cooks grill a thick bone-on rib-eye etc over high direct heat until it's literally burnt black and coated in smoking charcoal in an attempt to cook it all the way through; they then remove it from the grill and serve it immediately. The end result being that the inside is still cold & raw while the outside surface is charred black and is rock hard, rendering the whole thing completely inedible.

    As someone who worked as a meat cutter and Broil cook (steaks burgers and chicken) Texas Roadhouse uses a seasoning blend with more than 5 seasonings in it. It Seared on a flattop to get a crust. Sadly the flattop cools down even though its cranked to full heat. because of all the steaks that get thrown on it during dinner rush. so it never fully gets the crust that the company wants to be on there

      I think if the steaks were cooked on a cast iron flattop it would near better as the cast iron would hold the heat better.
      Or alternatively, keep the steaks heated via a low temperature oven a la reverse sear. Also has the consequence of making the steak drier and easier to form a crust.

      @@mackassef473you clearly have no sense of adventure. You must’ve missed where Guga had sumo wrestlers over to eat as much as they can. It’s purely for entertainment purposes. Because it would be fun to see.

    Having lived in Japan for a few years I can say that Moco Loco is still a pretty popular dish in the pacific as well as Japanese style hamburger steak over rice with these baked or fried garlic flakes and teriyaki sauce

    Hey Guga and crew well done , another killer video, and us here on the Southern tip of Africa really like the way you make and enjoy meat with a real passion and attention to Detail, it was great to see the T bone steak feature for the first time on your channel as for us it is a staple... It was great to see you include Biltong in the Jerky competition although your biltong was a little sad. the sirloin was good to see but now I know why you dont make the cut that often. We call it rump and we prepare it with the picanha and fat cap intact... it is not you, it is the way your butchers get taught to cut it that makes the most tasty cut of meat taste worse than a flat iron steak , we are isolated but also spoilt because our grass fed beef have a fine grained perfection and just the right amount of fat to make it perfect. Dry aged beef is all our beef for six weeks before being parted out by the butchers. I spent the Summer in Europe working for a BBQ company and We made meat from all over the World in all different ways and I learnt that the more I made and ate , and I can make a good steak I missed meat from home. If you do another comparisson you must include South Africa and Namibia you might be pleasantly surprised have a great day and hit me up if you want more info .

    Guga is right about Golden Corral. They will give you med rare if you ask for it. My uncle used to work there, and they cook multiple temps of steak and will make your preference if you ask. At Longhorn, you have to go for the Outlaw Ribeye. A bone-in ribeye with flavorful fat. delicious seasoning, and butter topping. Tender and juicy! It's very much like the ribeye they ate from the Texas Roadhouse era.

      I haven't been to a Golden Corral in years but I'm old enough to remember the buffet glory days of the 80's and 90's.
      The buffet places used top sirloin whole with the fat cap on but the cook would cut most of the fat off unless you told him to leave it.
      They actually did a decent job of cooking to order and you often had to wait for mid rare but well done always ready to go since they have to keep it hot and had to have plenty available.
      Buffets were actually pretty good back then and most things were made from scratch using whole fresh product.
      Fast forward to today and most of these places are a hot mess of slopped out trough chow with a lot of issues so I avoid them.
      I'm sad to see them go but their time is over.

    I’m a broil cook at TXRH, our process is a bit different then shown.
    First we season coast to coast with our seasoning, which has sugar along with many other ingredients in it
    Then we seat for 1 minute each side on a flat top grill
    Then we put it onto a gas grill for 2 mins, turn, 2 more, flip, two more, turn, final 2, then remove and serve.
    The temp of the steak is determined by where on the grill it is placed

    First time I ate a Bistecca alla Fiorentina was in Siena by a friend of mine and he cooked it blue.
    It was totally delicious.

    The thing about the first steak is the fact that they use a different race of cows called Chianina for it. Very lean, but also very tender.
