      Great experiment. I saw the control vs the test and immediately thumbs up. So before I finish the video, my vote is on the juice. The pulp by itself I am guessing will not be significant. Yes, the experiment is subjective and you can not determine statistical significance. But when it comes to good food, nobody cares. -ha
      Edit: Maybe don't do a 4 hr marinate. Maybe time makes the flavor.

      You discard a lot of surface meat after you dry age your steak, so this would pretty much negate the seasoning. It will definitely have less flavor than the one you do normally. You don't need to do the experiment to know where this one goes.

    Just FYI Guga, although sulfenic acids are made when onions are cut, they're not what cause the eye watering/irritating effect from cutting onions. The cutting of onion cell walls releases a bunch of different alliinase enzymes, which breaks down modified amino acids to produce different types of sulfenic acids. A specific sulfenic acid called 1-propenesulfenic acid is then rapidly broken down into *_syn-_** propanethial S-oxide* by the lachrymatory factor synthase enzyme. Propanethial oxide is what causes the eye irritating/watery effect.
    Fun fact, the first Vidalia onions grown in Georgia had barely any eye irritating effect because they were grown in soils that were extremely deficient in sulfur, meaning those onions were very sweet and could be eaten raw like an apple.

      Yes. great and very useful information there. But that raises the question, what is responsible for the tenderizing effect on the meat in this experiment? Is it the enzymes you mention, or the acids, or a combination of both? Basically, would a sweet onion like a Vidalia work as well at tenderizing the steak or would an onion with higher acids work better? Also would something like leeks or Ramps, which don't have the eye irritating effect work as well?

What if he did a littlw from almost everything, it might be a farnkenstein steak, but might be good (let's ignore the fact that it might end up costing more than an actual good steak , it's about the principle!)

    Coming into the comments because I make that mac n cheese all the time now. Friends and family are obsessed with it, and it's hella cheap. A couple things I like to do a tad differently is a.) you could add bacon because bacon goes hard. b.) I actually tried Tajin seasoning in the cheese sauce because I've become somewhat addicted to it lately. The lime kick MAGNIFIES the mac n cheese. Also, for home cooks like me who have no smoker, but only a wee apartment kitchen, I just tossed the pasta into the oven and broiled on high until the mozzarella darkened to my liking. Thanks for the recipe Guga!

    There's a legit dish that uses this method called ''Chaliapin steak''. Though slightly different from what's seen in the video, it's a steak dish that's tenderized using onions. The story goes that an opera singer by the name of Feodor Chaliapin wanted a steak, but the man had a toothache, so the steak had to be very tender for him to eat it. The cooks used onion pulp to tenderize the steak, and it worked great. It was hence named after the opera singer.

I even sent a US based friend a Grand Western Steaks gift box when I’m based in Switzerland. This NYE I made Birria Tacos for 12 people based off Guga‘s video.

    Late to the party, BUT where i live we use onion and mayo on pork to make it perfectly tender for a cooking on a metal rod over the charcoal. Usually you get a lotta onions, salt, garlic, black pepper and mayo, cut your meat on cubes, lay it down in a huge pot layer by layer - first a layer of meat, than a layer of mayo, layer of onions and seasonings on top. It works with pork, it works with veal, it works with chicken. The thing is to left the meat to marinate overnight and cook it over a charcoal. Amazing picnic dish.

    @Guga Foods Could we sometimes in the future get a tenderizing experiment comparison? Start with the same grade of steak, lets say choice. Do a piece for all successful experiments and let the jury decide how much did it make it better and if it made it similar to a prime grade (maybe better). Then, based on the taste, tenderness and cost it might be possible to state two best steaks. The best method - one that makes the biggest experience upgrade, and the choice method - biggest difference relative to price and time needed.

      What's the point of doing that if you're going to remove all the surface meat after you dry age? Pepper and garlic powder are not going to penetrate the meat all the way to the middle, so this will completely negate their flavor. And for salt, you can just dry brine the Steak before you cook it, same result.

    The onion juice reacts and tenderizes the steak, the Pulp alone lacks the juice. However, the one with the juice and Pulp is the best because the Pulp acts like a binder that allows the juice to cover the entire surface area of the steak and therefore permeate it more effectively!

    Hey Guga Foods, another great video with both informative and entertaining content!
    Something I've noticed about these videos is that whenever there is marinating involved, the control is not marinated. I'm not sure, but I feel like that might be an unfair advantage.
    Maybe you could change your marinating comparison system. I think the best way would be to make a simple 'base marinade' for the control. The base marinade would have to be something without a strong flavour and without acid, maybe a canola oil, water or broth mix? Then the other tests would be adding (whatever would be added, in this video onion juice) to the base marinade.
    Perhaps this could be a video all on its own. 'The great marinade experiment' would be super interesting. You could compare a bunch of marinade ingredients together, maybe control vs onions vs pineapple vs dairy vs brine?
    Keep up the great videos, I love watching these experiments!
