  • We have all been told to always let our steaks come to room temp before cooking it! Today is the ultimate test to see how true this really is. I cooked 6 steaks 3 different methods to find out if this is true or just a myth. Here are the results.

    This may help partially explain the myth, from an industry professional.
    In the industry we don't quite raise the Steaks up to room temperature, but we do let them warm up a bit, they get up to around 12-16c while sitting on presentation. The importance of this is much less to do with flavour and allot more to do with safety and Speed. In an À la carte setting we don't have the luxury of always cooking to medium rare, and on a flame grill they cook FAST, so by having a a warmer starting temperature on a particular cut it allows the meat to get up to temperature more quickly. In turn, especially thick cuts tend to have less 'cold' or raw bloody spots right in the centre while the outside is already cooked past 'well done', as well, mentioning speed, when service starts and you get 10-20 orders, you want that food out as quickly as possible and even a few degrees save a minute or so per steak.
    So yea, idk about cooking at home, never bothered with warming up steaks personally and bacteria tends to cultivate on dense meat like beef on the outside, very little will cultivate internally, so it's perfectly safe to cook from cold or room temperature to get a blue or rare steak if that's your thing.

    • @kozag-realityauditor7075
      @kozag-realityauditor7075 3 роки тому +11

      ​ @Ambjörn Börjesson it would be good for a set menu or any type of service where the end result of the steak is pre determined, unfortunately Expectations being what they are, À la carte means we need to be able to serve anything from blue to well done, the sous Vide method doesn't really allow for that sort of 'on the fly' flexibility.
      Presentation wise too, even at 54c, the inside of a steak over the course of 3 hours of service will eventually turn everything grey, customers can get pretty nasty about not seeing the pink on the inside.

    • @wowfood7105
      @wowfood7105 3 роки тому +18

      There's also the issue of waste. A steak in the fridge can still be used the best day or day after etc. The moment you sous vide it's either sold, or it's lost stock.
      For a preset menu it's perfect. Like a wedding for instance if they want steak as a course you can have everything done perfectly ahead of time. But for a restaurant service you don't want to be throwing away half a dozen steak because it was a slow night.

    I experimented with "start temperature", based on thickness of the steak cooking out of fridge gives you LESS control over temperature, it's becomes harder to hit "sweet spot" which is especially critical for non experienced people with no gear. More experienced you become easier to "feel meet" and predict cooking results. Don't forget you way ahead of most people who gonna cook steak and cooked amounts of meat that some people will never eat in their entire life. Nice video!

    I've had good results cooking sous vide, refrigerating and then pan searing straight from cold until the internal temp is correct. It's good if you have trouble getting a crust without overcooking.

    I think you overlooked the reason for bringing to room temp. You apply your seasonings BEFORE! That way, the salt is drawing the moisture and redistributing all that salty goodness back into the steak over those two hours. That should be your next experiment, exactly this one, but season first. Would be curious if there's a difference.

    I was taught by a chef that it's only "blue" steaks that you have to bring to room temp before cooking. Otherwise you end up with a cold middle due to the quick cooking time.

  • @cpirozzzz
    @cpirozzzz 3 роки тому

    I think, that the point of leaving a steak to reach a room temperature is because if you take it off the refrigerator and put it straight onto the pan it will lower the heat of the pan's surface and the maillard reaction will not happen properly.

    I season my steak first, then vacuum seal to protect it from bacteria and let it sit on the bare granite countertop for an hour before I sous vide. Once I am done sous vide it, I smoke it for an hour at low temp to get smoke into it before I sear it with the Grill Gun.

    If you're cooking slow, I find that temperature doesn't matter (unless it's frozen). You you're cooking fast and hot, especially if your stove isn't very good (weak electrical) then it really does a big difference if it's room temperature or not. Room temp meat doesn't loose nearly as much moisture as fast in this case, whereas refridgerator cold meats lose much more. If you're using gas stove with reasonable power, it might not be as much of an issue.

  • @cfuzzkennedy
    @cfuzzkennedy 3 роки тому

    If the “danger zone” for bacterial growth is between 40 and 140 degrees, how is it good for Sous Vide? I mean aren’t you creating a perfect environment for the steaks to sit in for the next two hours?
    I realize the steak is in a bag, but it still has the bacteria on it prior to going into the bag. Maybe it’s because it is in a vacuum, but I’m fairly certain there is still enough air in the meat for the bacteria to survive.
    Besides that, I leave my meat out to get to room temp for several hours and haven’t had any problems...yet!
    I guess I’m calling BS on the FDA recommendations.
    As always, these videos are not only informative, but entertaining as well.
    I have finally decided to give this Sous Vide a try and purchased one yesterday. I can’t wait.

  • @aajohnsoutube
    @aajohnsoutube 4 роки тому

    I think taking a 2-3 step temp change in Sous vide is just as important. Like 30-45 min at 90 deg, 30-45 min at 115 deg, then set for 134-136 deg. You’ll see less juice in the bag.

  • @geraldsahd3413
    @geraldsahd3413 3 роки тому

    1. Refrig or frozen steak works better with hot grill- more time to form crust. Also with thinner cut steaks so as to not over cook. Chef's like room temp steaks to serve faster in restaurants.
    2.. Guga, why do you worry about the juice on room temp, what do you think happens with dry age?
    3.) Other myths of steaks- flip once only and grill marks.....

    I’m from Japan and almost everyone say “room temperature” is needed.
    But I think that’s for a different reasons instead of the texture or flavor.
    When you cook steak at home , in Japan, the only way is using a frying pan ,we mostly don’t have bbq grills or a huge oven either.
    Any when an amateur guy like me cook with a frying pan, major failure case is
    “ scorched black outside but still too raw inside “. But they recommend maximum heat and hot pan as possible for the fast and crisp searing out side.
    So if the temperature of center is warm then you can lower the risk .
    But I still fail a lot .
    I will try the oven method .

    I enjoy this channel a lot

      Even if you have a small oven you can try the reverse sear, because it’s low heat. You can do 225 deg F

      Thank you ! I will try with my small oven -toaster. I tried Tandoori chicken once with my oven-toaster using metal tray with it , and it went really good . The surface was dry and burned nice.
      But haven’t tried beef steak, because you can’t fail ( beef is so expensive in Japan)

    • @socratese5
      @socratese5 4 роки тому

      ひろぽん yeah try it just remember it’s two steps
      1. Cook the steak at low heat (like 225 F)
      Until it reaches the desired temperature you want. Check with a meat thermometer that you have the right temperature
      It should be about 15-20 degrees below the temperature you want when fully done.
      2. Dry the meat with a paper towel and add some oil (you can also add butter) butter to the meat
      Then using a grill or pan at high heat sear the meat to make it nice and brown and develop a crust. Baste the meat as it cooks with the oil butter, for a minute or two max each side, That’s it!
      Let me know how it turns out. 👍🏽
      Also to be clear 225 F is the temperature for the oven, the meat temperature you want around 135-150 F depending on how you like it.

  • @Dentistmann

    I have to disagree here, only the last technique requires leaving at room temp and only the last technique should have been compared. This experiment does not take into account: time needed to cook, the time needed to reach different levels of done-ness, the different thickness of steak, the different techniques of cooking a steak (flip only once vs flip several times, cooking based on touch or cooking based on internal heat with a thermometer).

  • @saintbabylon7250
    @saintbabylon7250 3 роки тому

    Tried all 3 styles before and even though the Sous Vide & blow torch method looks pleasing I prefer not having any fumes flavoring my steak plus it’s also not as flavorful imo as reverses searing cause or searing over some charcoal & wood chips. I feel some people get too caught up thinking having as much pink as possible makes the best steak but not really. Literally less than a cm of extra char or grey isn’t going to be noticed when devouring in one’s mouth, lol. All methods lack something but are greater in others it seems.
    Reverse sear is my go to because it has the best of both worlds the perfect internal with the added flavor benefits of searing in cast iron over fresh herbs & butter.
    sous vibe with a cast iron sear is probably the best combo.

  • @chaosultimamage
    @chaosultimamage 4 роки тому

    This is a bit different than what I've always heard and how I do. Basically, I dry brine it while it warms up. You salt it nicely and just let it sit out for like 45 mins. that salt gets in there and does it's thing a bit. Then cook it. Obviously, if you're doing reverse sear / sous vide, it's completely pointless cuz of how those methods worked, but for pan steaks, it works great.

  • @MickPosch

So it's been garlic, Kikkoman soy sauce, and some course ground pepper...sometimes a little cumin. So you're saying garlic, butter, rosemary and thyme? Okay, I'll check that out. And I'm also going to look into liquid smoke (yeah, I know, but...the apartment thing).

    This experiment doesn't seem done correctly to me (could just be the video edit). When you cooked the steaks traditionally the video makes it seem like you cooked them for the same length of time which should mean the fridge temp steak was rarer which would skew the results. The steaks should not reach the target temp in the center at the same time. The fridge steak should necessitate longer cooking to reach the same internal temp and therefore have more of a well done gray ring on the outside.
    If you did actually cook them to the same temp and not just for the same time then I guess you did prove the theory wrong but the video suggests you used time not temp.
    For Sous Vide it doesn't surprise me at all that the results would be identical.

    Only reason you let it come to room temperature is so that you do not cool down the pan when cooking it in a pan, and to avoid an uneven temperature in the steak. Makes zero difference if you are doing it sous vide. Putting a cool stake into a hot searing pan will cause it to cool down, and if you're unlucky destroy your crust and therfore your life.
