    Today I put this cheap meat tenderizer to the test on the cheapest steak in the world. Aka $1 steaks. Now I also tested other things on this video to find out the best way to tenderize steaks and the results are in and this is what happened!

    Used this at a restaurant I worked at, you have to use a lot more than what you used because of the thickness of the steak. The powder is all natural and derived from pineapple enzymes. I used it to marinate beef cubes for kebabs, I would create a oil/garlic/oregano/paprika/lemon based marinate and use this with msg and leave it overnight to tenderize, then grill it the next day, it tasted awesome.

      Ghetto souis vide is a good choice if you don't wanna buy a real one. Fill up a pot a water, bring the temperature to 135 and submerge your steak in a zip lock bag, make sure all the air is out of the bag and seal is. You'll have to watch it more to make sure it maintains a steady temperature but, the steaks come out amazing! I'll usually do it for a couple of hours.

At that point you might as well just reverse sear the steak in the oven. Works very similar to sous vide, but isn't as forgiving with time and is faster.

    The biggest downside in tenderizing meat is losing maillard reaction, right?
    Why don’t you inject the meat with a tenderizing solution? This way you might not affect the surface and still get a maillard reaction. But you may end up with some flavor if the tenderizer has any

    • @Kampos94
      @Kampos94 2 роки тому +8

      You dont want the steak to taste like Pineapple or any other tenderizer so injecting it would be kind of dumb as you cant rinse it off.
      And you clearly get a Millard reaction since the meat did brown, it just didn't get a nice hard crust the same way as a regular one would. You could get it just as crispy if you do a good job in drying of the steak before searing. Just 1 extra paper towel than usual should do the trick to dry it off for a good sear.
      Millard reaction simply means that its browning which happens when the temperature goes to or above 175C or 350F.
      Injecting anything into the steak would ruin the flavor of a steak no matter what you use. A steak should taste like a cow not a fruit, hense why you always rinse it of to get rid of most and hopefully even all flavors the tenderizer would have.

    Watching this reminded me of my two worst experiences with beef.
    The first, and most recent is my mom cooking a steak. I have been the one cooking, and so I cook the steak to about a medium. It’s so delicious and tender. But my mom cooked it to well done! The way she likes it. It completely ruined the dinner to me.
    The other time is when we got some meat cut up for fajitas. I thought it was great that we could just ask for it to be cut and not have their own pre-made fajitas.
    Then when I cook it, I realize something. They cut it the wrong way! They cut with the grain instead of against it. Making it much harder to eat.
    I just want to have some quality steaks.

    I wonder instead of letting the steak rest in the pineapple for an hour, reducing it to 30-40 minutes would this help at all with the after taste?
    And what happens if you followed the directions, but added salt would this take away from it being tender?
    There has to be an balance which works to compliment both, that wouldn't take away from the tenderizing process while making it more edible.

    Try combing sous vide and grill. I ran mock tender steaks through the sous vide at 132 for a couple of days (up to 3 days). Then dump in an ice bath (still in bag) to bring down the temp. Really let it come down. Then sear it like your steaks, baste it, etc. It's not as juicy because it lacks fat, but it's crazy tender.

    I did an experiment with a rib piece (in dutch rib lap)not to be confused with ribeye it's tougher and more between the neck and the shoulder very fatty beef but not as tough as eye round.
    I left it in an old fridge at 5 C (about 41 F) for 3 days wet aging well, when I unwrapped it felt it and it was sticky and smelled funny but, it didn't smell awful just funky but the fibers were loose and it felt soft so instead of stewing the meat I prepared it like a regular steak
    wet aging is either vacuum sealed for the long run of tens of days (10 20 30 days) or cling-wrapped for just a few days
    well, my experiment was a success the taste was smooth the meat was soft and tender, and the crust I made I'm salivating right now!!

    Guga, the reason the instruction says no salt is probably similar to why one does not add salt directly to yeast. High salt concentrations kill enzyme activity. However, it's difficult to explain to myself why the version prepared according to the instructions worked out better than the version with 1h (+/- fork) of tenderizer added to it. You'd expect the enzyme to need some time to do its work, thus I thought treating it with the tenderizer for 1 hour and THEN salting it would give the best tenderness and flavor. Anyway...interesting experiment!

    The way I like to prepare my steaks is to sprinkle them with lime juice and top them with basic seasonings like you do. Let them chill for 30 minutes to an hour or more depending on circumstances. Then heat on the grill indirectly. Let them rest a couple minutes while I get the temp up as high as I can with what I have left and then sear. My wife has always loved my steaks but we both watch your videos together all the time. I buy ribeye religiously when we do steaks. My cousin who likes his steaks Pretty much mooing has loved my steaks well done when I accidentally over did them before. They are always so tender and juicy. I buy my steaks at Walmart, Save A Lot or Piggly Wiggly.
