EXPERIMENT IDEA: Tenderising meat in blended onions! We do this all the time in the Middle East and the enzymes in the onion break down even the toughest fibers, but it tastes amazing unlike pineapple!
Fancy seeing you here! Great channel, brother! Guga already did a video tenderising meat with onions a couple of years back but I guess it would be interesting to see him dry age meat in it. Actually come to think of it...you'd think from this video that this is the first time he has heard about the tenderising properties of honey. But he did tenderise meat in honey before.
@@tsukinomiweasel551 probably like a pickling solutions ph importance, maybe you could mix in some caramelized onions with the raw, but you’ll want a certain amount of the active enzymes for the process to work safely 🤷♂️
Maybe he wants the control to be slightly more portioned cause he knows it's going to work out and be delicious and doesn't wanna ruin any more meat than he has to if the experiment doesn't turn out. =P I would totally do that myself
On a side note, when my (then) girlfriend and myself went on our first date, she suggested an incredible steak house...which her brother owned...which was free because her brother knew I was a great appreciator of quality food. We married soon after. It was an easy choice to make.
After seeing the results I think it may be interesting to take it in a different direction: if the enzymatic activity of honey does exist, why not make a thinned honey bath (like you do with pineapple) soak the meat for a duration to get the enzymes to penetrate the meat, then proceed with the dry-aging process. You will hydrate the meat initially, which may slow the dry age, but if the enzymes remain active during the aging process they should be able to work on the meat and not have the same degree of loss due to spoilage.
@@FredByMail Basically just treat honey like Pineapple. Honey isn't the best choice for dry ageing on its own (as shown), so marinate then dry age normally.
Same thought. As to the ‘too stickiness’ claims he would have lost the same amount of meat or LESS if he had dry aged in the bag. And to the nay sayers to my comment STFU let science/experimentation be the true judge & not your couch potato ass(es).
facts, even here in NZ where we make the dam stuff its crazy expensive. alot of that come down to ensuring it is actually manuka since controlling bees is diffucult and ensuring they pollonate manuka and not other plants as such is a mission.
Yep, honey, yogurt, kiwi, pineapple are all great at tenderizing meat. You know what's even better? Marinating them with a mixture of all of the above (and other seasonings) - and the results are AMAZING (have tried on both chicken and steak). Any of those ingredients works well on they're own, but in combination they're fantastic - you get great results with even a 30 minute marinade, but an overnight marinade on a steak brings results that are UNREAL. No need to use expensive Manouka honey or let it sit for weeks... and the results are always impressive. Hell, I didn't believe it when I was told to just mash up a kiwi and spread it on a steak for 20 minutes a side, and was amazed at the delicious results [not a hint of kiwi flavor]. Likewise, one of the best, most flavorful and tender steaks I've ever had was made by a South African friend who marinated it overnight in yogurt and before grilling, coated it in his favorite South African "braai" (bbq) spice blend. Still trying to replicate those results - the meat was so tender and falling apart it was almost.... shaggy? But not mushy, it was perfection. Can't find the same spice blend online, need to bribe him to bribe his parents to send some extra for me next time they send him a care package, the flavor was indescribable.
I marinade my meats in homemade yogurt. Truly excellent results every time. Imparts tenderizing and buckets of flavor when combined with spices. The yogurt sticks to the outside nice and thick, and it helps all the different flavors stick on the outside so it get do its job. :3 I don't even rinse off the yogurt sometimes, just cook it. Makes a nice thick coat that seals in juices filled with spices. :D
Are you supposed to wash under water the meat after the marinade or just clean it with just paper or something like that? Can you marinade it like submerged into that fruit "mix" or it just needs a coat?
Someone reacting to foodwars said him tendering the meat in honey was BS but every video I've watched seemed to back it up that honey can work as a tenderizer and that dude was a supposed "food expert".
Shame he doesn't regularly mention all our views let him constantly eat steaks and he gets to say it's all a work related tax write off... Along with that honey...
Here's my thought for where to take this next: You get a honey that's not very viscous and has few or dead enzymes, and you dry age it in a tub of it for various amounts of time. Let me explain. Honey is well-known for being antimicrobial which is why it can sit unrefrigerated basically indefinitely. The reason for this is that honey is a supersaturated solution of sugar and water with very little water. Thus, any microbes (that aren't spores) die in honey because all their internal water gets sucked right out into the honey via osmotic pressure. See where I'm going? So, you take some plastic containers about the size of your test pieces of meat (maybe 0.5-1" buffer on each side), you put a spacer on the bottom so the meat isn't sitting on the bottom, put in the meat, and then pour honey into container until it fills all the empty space and with a 1/2" decent layer on top as well. Then dry age for varying amounts of time. This accomplishes many things for the experiment. 1) It keeps the honey in contact with the meat at all times; nothing can slide off like in many dry aging experiments. 2) It's an antimicrobial environment surrounding the meat; no mold or bacterial can grow on the meat at all. 3) It lets you use cheap, liquid honey but not an unreasonable amount since you're only filling a relatively small amount of void space. 4) It should _actually_ dry age the meat. The effect should be similar to the Umai bags: a one-way direction of liquid flow out of the meat. In this case it's into the honey via osmosis vs. into the refrigerator air via evaporation. As long as there's enough honey to absorb all the liquid removed (which shouldn't take much but you could calculate it from previous experiments based on how much lighter meat is after dry aging), there should always be an osmotic pressure of water into the honey. It will continue to literally dry age your meat. And it's a very controlled environment. I think taking the enzymes out of the equation helps that. You could even dry age in corn syrup as a comparison. Hell, I bet you could leave a steak _OUT_ of the refrigerator for 30 days, completely submerged in honey, and it wouldn't go bad. Has to be tried, right?
One of the farms in my town has a stand out front where you can shop from like 20 or 30 different types of honey. I don't know how the hell they manage to make that many different kinds but it's incredible, very interesting to taste the differences
Basically, they situate bee hives in different locations, surrounded by particular trees and flowers. I know this one lunatic that's been obsessed with buying some land in my state's south, farming bees around apple trees so he can turn the honey into Apple Mead.
My favorite honey is Palmetto. It tastes sweet for the first 2 seconds and then punches your face with a bitter taste. It's good for balancing levels of sweetness.
@A O I'm not a meth head nor would I ever be but If I had to choose between Walters meth or Ricky's meth I'd choose Walt's because I don't wanna die yet 😂✌️
Excellent choice of honey, it is one of our national treasures and I loved seeing you enjoy the spreading process even if the experiment did not work out! It makes an excellent sauce or short term marinade too
When I lived in China, the area we lived in didn't really have beef. The 'beef' was actually water buffalo or ox. Usually they were also working animals that died so the meat was _extremely_ tough. We would marinate the meat in papaya juice for 4 hours. For real, good beef I would probably suggest trying 1 hour then seeing how it turns out. It worked wonderfully and gave the meat a surprisingly pleasant fruity aftertaste.
@@jurisfootrag Not wasting 70% of the meat would be to cook this remarkable, expensive, and resource intensive cut as it is. Whether as a short roast, steaks etc and by any other method that doesn't require having to toss away that much protein. But you know, content creation demands completely unnecessary extravagance and wastefulness...otherwise boredom would set in.
My family in New Zealand makes Manuka Honey on our sheep and beef farm, it used to be cheap. As children we used to eat it all the time. It's got quite a medicinal flavour. About 10-15 years ago it all changed when it came to everyone's knowledge that it has amazing antibacterial characteristics and is well suited to wound healing. So naturally the price went through the roof.
@@SilverishKitten Well funny you say that, not really. It was good for a couple of years. But these days the entire Manuka honey market is controlled by basically 2 companies. They buy up all the honey and push out the small producers. We find ourselves competing in random little countries as an attempt to stay out of the big boys markets. In fact, we're finding that in a recession (or the beginnings of one) that folks aren't that interested in paying $50 for a jar of honey lol. So in response to you, we should be making a killing. But the price has been pumped so artificially high by claims of medical benefits, that it's not benefiting us.
This is a very interesting experiment Guga, but I had an idea that would make the best of both worlds here. What if you dry aged the meat like normal for 30-34 days, then take it out remove the pellicle and cover it in honey (or any other kind of enzymes) for 1-5 days. I’m interested to see how tender that would become, if it would retain the dry aged flavor and if it would incorporate the flavor of your tenderizer on top of the dry aged.
Guga's World First Dry Age Experiment* *Caveat this is the first time Guga has done this. Guga does not claim to be the first person to dry age with honey. This has been the legal department...carry on good sir.
@@SaintAdjacent He literally said the worlds first, not "Guga world's first". -- Actual attorney But he is known for - let's just call it - stretching the truth ....
I've done a honey marinade on sirloin before, it does the trick of making the meat tender. Also used a little bit of the left over marinade to make a gravy for mashed potatoes. Was a very interesting Sunday dinner.
@@qboy2terafirma and alot of it is from China and of extremely low quality. Honey that is local is almost always better. Some reports of it having heavy metals in it.
To be fair, the outer parts got rotten so he had little option in that one. And he was trying it out for it first time so he could not have foreseen the amount of damage, either. He did say it's totally worthless at the end.
If he put the honey steak in a plastic bag he would get no pellicle, the honey ran off the meat too much, it's super anti microbial. Manuka is beautiful, we get it so cheap here in NZ, it's all we eat.
What do you mean by bad parts? Because if you mean the pellicle, then you don't have to throw it away, put it in a burger and its the best burger ever.
you dont throw it away! you grind it up for hamburgers OR you cook it down to its fat and use that for sauces. A real fan of dry age meats discards VERY little of the product if any
Actually many people have been asking him to dry age meat in honey. He probably got the idea from the comment section as hundreds of people have been commenting this crazy idea since months.
@@blase1856 This, all his 'crazy' experiments come just from google or forums. And the double ad at the beginning and in the middle a cringe ad again is becoming too much. At least other youtubers only do one product placement in a fun way. Good channel when it started but it is becoming 'oversaturated' (haha that pun) very fast these days. Shame but alas. There are better channels these days.
I used to work as a pastry chef and baker. I still very much enjoy cooking at home. Just found this chanel today via Da Bomb hot sauce. You do great work.
Manuka honey can be used medicinally for wounds such as cuts and burns. Though if you wanted to flavor your steak as well with the honey, I would say try to taste different honeys, I particular don’t like buckwheat because the smell is a bit weird and it has a bit of an earthy taste but turns sweet later, I just don’t like that kind of taste in my honey.
@Holy Ghost It can be as cheap as 10 pounds over in the UK. Some Companies charge extraordinary amounts, But this just means of increasing quality. Thats probably $20 in the US but it depends on import costs.
I grew up in a village in Poland, we had a farm and alot of steaks but nobody liked it when they have red on the meat and nobody would eat it this way.. then I watched how proffesionals make steaks and they are always medium rare and always look raw and if I would show it to my grandparents and people in the village they would literally call it raw and wouldnt eat it just wanted to point it out maybe its interesting for you haha, have a nice day
This could be the way to do a dry aged steak for people who don't typically like the aftertaste of dry aged, but love everything else about it, like the tenderness and juiciness of it.
I think he did try dry aging in tallow. Should be similar to aging in butter. If there is no pelicose you could even cook it in the fat used to seal it
Lololol, as soon as he held that spoon up, I was like "that's Manuka honey". Yep, and he bought the exact same brand I have sitting on my counter right now. I didn't buy it though, a friend got it for me. It has a very distinct flavor (almost like a bit of pollen & wax are still inside it). I think that's why it's not runny. It tastes almost like a Burt's bees chap stick, but sweeter.
the enzyme found in many tenderizers, Protease, is also found in your small intestine to help break down proteins. more specifically, in the duodernum.
Tremendous video! Obrigado Guga. In fact there are stories that say that the Egyptians put human bodies in honey for 100 years, until the body disintegrated. It was considered a nectar of gods.
@@diannt9583 It is a myth, so the information that there is is not clear about the place of origin. But the basis is to immerse a human body in honey until it is completely dissolved, to obtain a "healing" liquid. It is not strange to think, considering that for example, some Chinese emperors took mercury thinking that it would give them eternal life.
I recommend doing the steak in honey as an overnight set. Fresh minced garlic and onions are a good addition. Salt and pepper as well. It turns a cheap steak into an amazing steak. It'll make a round steak as tender as a sirloin.
Fun fact the anime known as food wars actually showed how fast and the effects of honey is to meat. Though main character Soma he was doing a pot roast in the anime I never thought you could get these results with the steak These are always fun videos to watch.
Dude I love manuka honey. My mom has given it to us since we were kids for everything from scrapes to a sore throat. It works wonders at healing wounds and curing small ailments
"if you know me you know I dont like to waste any food " = takes a $$ two bone rib eye and has to cut away so much spoiled meat after a dry age experiment gone bad, hahaha .

@@jurisfootrag Not wasting 70% of the meat would be to cook this remarkable, expensive, and resource intensive cut as it is. Whether as a short roast, steaks etc and by any other method that doesn't require having to toss away that much protein. But you know, content creation demands completely unnecessary extravagance and wastefulness...otherwise boredom would set in.
We are living in the age of pathological boredom.
@@jurisfootrag So, going by that logic if you legit just grab the smallest slice possible and threw the rest away, it wouldn’t be wasted?
0:40 you can see that Guga wrote the text, as "enzymes" is misspelled as "emzymes" the same way as (only) he always pronounces it :D
Fun fact: you can’t buy imported honey in NZ, it’s all local.
That is a really fun fact
That sucks
@@joshlockie9285 not really. It’s some of the best quality honey in the world, and there’s not a shortage either.
@@pinkestpeaches6302 There are so many interesting plants to make honey with all over the world. It would be very sad if you werent able to try them.
@@Currywurst4444 I’m not that disappointed tbh, it’s honey.
My family in New Zealand makes Manuka Honey on our sheep and beef farm, it used to be cheap. As children we used to eat it all the time. It's got quite a medicinal flavour. About 10-15 years ago it all changed when it came to everyone's knowledge that it has amazing antibacterial characteristics and is well suited to wound healing. So naturally the price went through the roof.
You must be making a killing then :D
@@SilverishKitten Well funny you say that, not really. It was good for a couple of years. But these days the entire Manuka honey market is controlled by basically 2 companies. They buy up all the honey and push out the small producers. We find ourselves competing in random little countries as an attempt to stay out of the big boys markets. In fact, we're finding that in a recession (or the beginnings of one) that folks aren't that interested in paying $50 for a jar of honey lol.
So in response to you, we should be making a killing. But the price has been pumped so artificially high by claims of medical benefits, that it's not benefiting us.

This is a very interesting experiment Guga, but I had an idea that would make the best of both worlds here. What if you dry aged the meat like normal for 30-34 days, then take it out remove the pellicle and cover it in honey (or any other kind of enzymes) for 1-5 days. I’m interested to see how tender that would become, if it would retain the dry aged flavor and if it would incorporate the flavor of your tenderizer on top of the dry aged.
Guga: It's sticky everywhere
Angel: *Tries so hard to not demonetize the video*
69 likes. I like.
Btw, for a good tenderizer, try tomato sauce. I mainly use it on my briskets, but It works great on steaks as well.

But he is known for - let's just call it - stretching the truth ....
I've done a honey marinade on sirloin before, it does the trick of making the meat tender. Also used a little bit of the left over marinade to make a gravy for mashed potatoes. Was a very interesting Sunday dinner.
“It’s not runny like regular honey”
Me as a Kiwi with Manuka and Clover honey everywhere:
🤨
Kia Ora to that!
Same here. Their honey has water and sugar added to thin it, make it squeeze able in a bottle and make supply go further
@@qboy2terafirma and alot of it is from China and of extremely low quality. Honey that is local is almost always better. Some reports of it having heavy metals in it.
True New Zealand Manuka honey is so amazingly good. Beautiful country!
@@Madchris8828 what process can let heavy metal get in to honey?
Imagine being at a barbeque with these guys just eating hella steak and having a good time.

To be fair, the outer parts got rotten so he had little option in that one. And he was trying it out for it first time so he could not have foreseen the amount of damage, either. He did say it's totally worthless at the end.
Although dry aging is nice to have sometimes. I feel like you waste so much of the meat when you have to cut off the bad parts.
The best value is to do a whole roast then the proportion of pellicle to meat is small
If he put the honey steak in a plastic bag he would get no pellicle, the honey ran off the meat too much, it's super anti microbial. Manuka is beautiful, we get it so cheap here in NZ, it's all we eat.
@@hubristicmystic All you eat is honey?
What do you mean by bad parts? Because if you mean the pellicle, then you don't have to throw it away, put it in a burger and its the best burger ever.
you dont throw it away! you grind it up for hamburgers OR you cook it down to its fat and use that for sauces. A real fan of dry age meats discards VERY little of the product if any
NEW RECIPE IDEA: Picanha marinated in mustard and MSG. Best thing I've ever eaten- ever.
that sounds so good
What kind of mustard?! 🙏🙏
We Brazilians hate the idea of putting anything other than salt on picanha, that is a sin

Damn yumi wasnt lying they did dry age steak in honey
They really did

Guga is always coming out with these crazy experiments, can't wait for the next!
Actually many people have been asking him to dry age meat in honey. He probably got the idea from the comment section as hundreds of people have been commenting this crazy idea since months.
@@blase1856 This, all his 'crazy' experiments come just from google or forums. And the double ad at the beginning and in the middle a cringe ad again is becoming too much. At least other youtubers only do one product placement in a fun way. Good channel when it started but it is becoming 'oversaturated' (haha that pun) very fast these days. Shame but alas. There are better channels these days.
Guga, I wonder: seeing how much wagyu you eat, do you think your own body is absorbing that fat and turning into a5 human?
We will find out when the dry aged angel vid will come out
His funeral won't have a coffin, it'll have one hell of a buffet though.

@@parvezakm2799 Gotta Dry age first tho
I feel like doing honey inside the bags would be the answer, if that's even possible.
I used to work as a pastry chef and baker. I still very much enjoy cooking at home. Just found this chanel today via Da Bomb hot sauce. You do great work.
Manuka honey can be used medicinally for wounds such as cuts and burns. Though if you wanted to flavor your steak as well with the honey, I would say try to taste different honeys, I particular don’t like buckwheat because the smell is a bit weird and it has a bit of an earthy taste but turns sweet later, I just don’t like that kind of taste in my honey.
whats really crazy is that every local honey tastes different depending on the plants accessible to the hive

Next Episode: I Dry Aged a Steak in Arsenic and Here’s What Happened
OMG Guga, at the price of Manuka's honey, this is crazy expensive!
Not if you’re in NZ or Australia :)
@Holy Ghost i just googled it because the honey looks amazing, it's about $40-50 per 500g
@Holy Ghost Roughly 50 bucks per pound from what I was able to find. And that's the bottom end price.
@@grumpyae86 how much is it there?
@Holy Ghost It can be as cheap as 10 pounds over in the UK. Some Companies charge extraordinary amounts, But this just means of increasing quality. Thats probably $20 in the US but it depends on import costs.
Dry age in sawdust of grill flavor woods: hickory, mesquite, and applewood!
Now, instead of dry-aging, just do a couple hrs of tenderizing a steak. See if the honey comes through more on the final product.

I grew up in a village in Poland, we had a farm and alot of steaks but nobody liked it when they have red on the meat and nobody would eat it this way.. then I watched how proffesionals make steaks and they are always medium rare and always look raw and if I would show it to my grandparents and people in the village they would literally call it raw and wouldnt eat it just wanted to point it out maybe its interesting for you haha, have a nice day
that was probably the most expensive dry-aged experiment in history.
I know he should've used a different honey.
no he dry aged a5 wagyu picanha
@@ninekestrel he meant experiment as in alternative dry-aging method. Manuka honey is very expensive
@@turokk3352 He should've submerged the whole thing in a bowl of honey.
@@spiff2268 should have lined the vacuum bag with the honey, put the steak in, and then vacuum the bag. Woulda worked a lot better

This could be the way to do a dry aged steak for people who don't typically like the aftertaste of dry aged, but love everything else about it, like the tenderness and juiciness of it.
Every time Angel eats dry-aged, he knows he's peering into his future. 🤣
I love eating honey marinated bacon, it doesn't taste like honey at all, just makes the bacon more sweet and salty and crispy.

with how much guga enjoys spreading foods on steaks, he should try frosting a cake sometime
Ill one up dhale evans
Next episode:
“I Dry-aged Steaks in melted Wagyu Fat”
That’s not funny and that’s waaayy more normal than dry ageing in literal other steaks.
I think he did try dry aging in tallow. Should be similar to aging in butter. If there is no pelicose you could even cook it in the fat used to seal it
UA-cam: steak slathered in honey?
Brain: let’s see where this goes
Nothing makes me smile harder than a big guy laughing over some good ass food
These dry-aging experiments are very informative. Thanks!
Lololol, as soon as he held that spoon up, I was like "that's Manuka honey". Yep, and he bought the exact same brand I have sitting on my counter right now. I didn't buy it though, a friend got it for me. It has a very distinct flavor (almost like a bit of pollen & wax are still inside it). I think that's why it's not runny. It tastes almost like a Burt's bees chap stick, but sweeter.
Love you
"I dry aged steaks in honey and this happened."
Me: Did Angel leave the cast iron outside again, and become the experiment?
Just realized that Guga keeps saying and typing "emzymes" instead of "enzymes", and I can't stop hearing it😂😂
Ur right and it kills me lmfao but i feel bad for laughing hes such as wholesome person
Well, he pronuonce emm.... Instead of ennn, tho
the enzyme found in many tenderizers, Protease, is also found in your small intestine to help break down proteins.
more specifically, in the duodernum.
There is a honey in brazil called bracatinga. It has very little sugar and many enzymes.
Tremendous video!
Obrigado Guga.
In fact there are stories that say that the Egyptians put human bodies in honey for 100 years, until the body disintegrated. It was considered a nectar of gods.
so less doo iiit~
I haven't heard anything about that, seems very inaccurate.
@@diannt9583 It is a myth, so the information that there is is not clear about the place of origin. But the basis is to immerse a human body in honey until it is completely dissolved, to obtain a "healing" liquid.
It is not strange to think, considering that for example, some Chinese emperors took mercury thinking that it would give them eternal life.
Angel: I'm not dying today.
Guga: You eating mole
Angel: I don't know

@@Masterfighterx Maybe he ate a mole we will never know.
I recommend doing the steak in honey as an overnight set. Fresh minced garlic and onions are a good addition. Salt and pepper as well. It turns a cheap steak into an amazing steak. It'll make a round steak as tender as a sirloin.
Fun fact the anime known as food wars actually showed how fast and the effects of honey is to meat. Though main character Soma he was doing a pot roast in the anime I never thought you could get these results with the steak These are always fun videos to watch.
