    If there is one thing I love is to grill steaks. Today I will test if its the grill or the type of meat you cook. Can an expensive steak be cooked on a very cheap grill? lets find out.

    I want to take a second to thank Guga (and a handful of other cooking channels, but definitely mainly Guga as of late) for making every steak shot so tantalizingly beautiful, that I ended up impulsively cooking my first steak just yesterday. I'd grown up eating steaks exclusively well-done and drowned in steak sauce (really since that's what literally everyone else around me was doing as I was growing up, so I figured that that was the "best" way to do it; fully cooked and then sauced), so I pan-seared a strip steak (seasoned with sea salt, freshly-ground black pepper, and garlic powder) to medium-rare, basted it with butter before plating it for a little bit, and then cut it up with some grilled asparagus and a rice/grain mix for sides.
    When I tell you that the very first bite made me have to physically pause for a minute and reprocess everything that I'd ever known about steak... I'm not exaggerating. I didn't even have to put steak sauce or any other type of sauce/dressing on it. I just ate it as-is since it was that juicy and flavorful on its own, and I could feel my soul doing backflips with every bite that I took of it. I finished my plate, and then instantly got hit with the strongest food-based "...what now?" moment of my life, since it's been so long since tasting food has been that much of an experience for me.
    Sadly, I don't think that I'll ever get a chance to try dry-aging or sous vide cooking anything, but hey, that's what this channel network is here for, to hear what it's like. Thanks for all of the amazing content.

    • @HIIMPIEZ

    I know this is a minor component in your basic salt, pepper, and garlic powder line-up but I would really like to see a Guga test between store bought garlic powder versus homemade dehydrated garlic powder. So many of the flavors of garlic are lost within hours, days, and weeks of dehydrated garlic that it reminds me of the reason of why freshly ground black pepper is a must.
    I love garlic. It is so flavor dynamic based on how you cut it, how long you let it sit (fresh), how you dehydrate it, etc. Garlic powder is one of those things that stands out often when I cook for other people because they say how garlicky my food is both for better and worse much like they say how strong paprika or cayenne flavors are in my dishes (because I dehydrate my own and often from what I have grown myself.)
    So, yeah. I'd love to see: control, store bought garlic powder, homemade used within a few days, homemade a few weeks, and maybe a composite butter with garlic (unfair advantage because of the butter but whatever.)

      @@liesalllies Came here to say this. Chop it up and make tacos. The extra ingredients will fix a lot of the problems you can run in to.
      Poorly seasoned? Freshness and flavor of the veg will offset it and create balance
      Dry? Salsa, crema, and lime will compensate
      Tough? Cut it up in to very small cubes so as to reduce the amount of fibers you have to chew through
      Overcooked (too tender it falls apart)? This makes great taco filling. Overcooked brisket is great if you just shred it up. Ends up being like barbacoa.
      Tacos 100%.

      Once you screw up a piece of meat, it's screwed up. There's no reversing it. There's just repurposing it.
      If you recall Guga has tried to rehydrate meats with fats before and it just doesn't work out. Once you dry it out, it's dried out.
      Your best bet at saving a poorly cooked meat, is finding a better purpose for it than a plain steak that will show all it's imperfections.

    Have you tried to dry age using Italian Green Pesto? I was thinking there are often a umami flavours in Pesto, including parmesan and anchovies, plus you have basil providing aromatics.
    I think it would be really interesting to see if the aromatics of the basil penetrates the meat and if the umami flavour comes through.

    Commonly found in most asian supermarkets or well stocked asian sections in mainstream american supermarkets (ie not that hard to attain).
    Perhaps try initially as a compound butter?
    Or a dry aging method?
    Or a marinade when putting into sous vide?

    Ok, so I have been enjoying your videos very much. I want to thank you for the introduction on the wireless thermometers, used them last night, perfection. Also, I made the side dish in this video, just wow. I had friends over for some prime ribeye with the side dish, they said it was the best steaks they have ever had. They also raved about the side dish.

    Hi Guga !
    You always use garlic powder to season your steak, but I was wondering if it would not be better to use other garlic seasoning like fresh garlic, garlic paste or some kind of garlic compound better ?
    Would you make a video about testing different kind of garlic seasoning to find out the best way ?
    Love you

    My take away here is that with the cheap grill, the cheaper meats seem to do well enough. But if you have the means to buy a pricey wagu steak, spring for at least a small real charcoal grill.

    Tip from using these "grills" while camping: *Get another Foil Tray to use as a cover.*
    The $5 grill has air vents in it, so you won't suffocate the charcoal and trapping the heat will let everything cook much, much faster. Faster cooking = less Charcoal flavor and less toughness.

  • @ulverop

    Guga - can you show us why a non-disposable grill is better for the Wagyu A5? Is it the density of charcoal, the material of the grilling surface, or something else? Maybe you could try different amounts of charcoal or different types of grilling surfaces (stainless steel, flat top, grated grill, etc), and see which ones come out best!

    • @diehleeo1449
      @diehleeo1449 Рік тому

      I think the reason is because the disposable grill couldn't get very hot like he said, so he had to keep the steaks on the grill for much longer which made them tougher and exposed to the charcoal and smoke much longer than usual which is why they had a much stronger charcoal smell and more than needed.

    Side dish request for the next time Guga wants to do Mashed Potatoes just to see how he'd like them the way they are done here
    - Peel and cut the potatoes
    - Place them in a pot with cold water that has been flavored to taste (I use salt and a meat stock cube, but you can go crazy here)
    - Boil them until ready
    - Take most of the water out, but save it in a bowl
    - Mash and add the saved water as you see fit until you are happy with the consistency
    - Add butter and dry spices (I used white pepper, garlic powder, thyme, oregano and rosemary last time)
    You can also add grated carrot or something along those lines to the mash to introduce a new taste

    PS: also, pro-tip on bechamel. You, Guga, always add seasonings to bechamel after you've made the sauce. That's not the best way to make bechamel, because you often don't develop a lot of the flavors of herbs and spices. Back in the day, French chefs used to steep the flavor ingredients in the milk (onions, peppercorns, etc) before adding the milk to the sauce, so that they'd get maximum flavor out of spices and herbs. Today, you can do that too, or also add spices into the butter to flavor it before you make the roux.
    Also PS: that wasn't a true "bechamel". Frying off the ham in the butter before making the roux technically makes it more of a country gravy. Not saying, just saying.

    small grill cooking can benefit by stacking the meat strategically to keep it in indirect heat as needed to get the desired results. alternate what meat is sitting on top of the other meat. keeps it warm and the juices from the top meat goes down onto the bottom meat.
