Enzyms work at a spicifc pH-Value. By mixing up papaya and pineapple you create a pH somewhere in between of the optimal pH-habitat for the enzymes of the papaya and the pineapple. Proteins are partially negative and positive charged. By changing their pH-habitat (increasing or decreasing the Hydrogyn-Ion concentration) you are changing the enzymes 3D-structure and it doesn't work anymore. Therefore it is essential to know that each enzym only works on their counterpart substrate. Hope i could help. Sorry for any grammar mistakes. Greetings from germany.
Why not pineapple it for 30 mins, than drain and dry brine it overnight. Salt will inhibit the enzymes, in addition to dry brining. Might help with the sear
nop, since the pineapple enzymes continue working even though you washed the steak and believe there's no more. scientists say those enzymes stop their effect at high temperatures, so the only say to stop the process is by cooking the stake
@@odahcaMleinaD The hypothesis was that the high salt saturation from the dry brine would inhibit the enzymes. I know you cant just wash it off, hence 30 mins instead of a full hour..
A tip for tenderizing with papaya is to use slightly "Immature" papayas, by that I mean papayas that have yet to ripen. They tend to be alot whiter/less orange/pink. It's often used in Indian/Pakistani cuisine to tenderize meat.
@@stippystips9418 I know that my mother specifically looks for unripe ones, as in the ones that have white flesh and not pink/orange. I cant say for sure on a chemical basis but my mother once made me taste a bit of unripe papaya and I could immediately feel a slight tingling/buzzing feeling on my tounge. My guess is that unripe papayas somehow denature protein alot better than ripe ones
I think what happened is actually that Papain works in less acidic environments, so the pineapple's acidity denatured those proteins and it ended up being just a less concentrated pineapple mixture. Maybe a little baking soda or better yet something highly basic like sodium carbonate added to it would help, since bromelain works in higher pH (up to around 8 if a quick google search is any help) so a pH of around 7 or 7.5 would be ideal for both. Aren't these enzymes pretty small anyways? I'm pretty sure they wouldn't cause hydrolysis and break the bonds of each other.

How about this amazing idea: use the mechanical Jaccard tenderizer, then immerse the steak in either melted Wagyu fat or butter? It would be interesting to see if the fat gets into all the nooks and crannies.
A few thoughts I've had over watching this series. 1- Can you use the pineapple method and then slice off that thin top and bottom layer to remove the gritty layer? 2- Could you marinade the steak in the fruit but then butterfly it and fold it so the two outside layers meet in the middle and then use some of that meat glue powder to stick it together so that you can have a crust?
1- You can get rid of the skin & the core part of the pineapple,but the skin has the most enzymes,which made it more effective 2- Cool idea, although he just gonna made it as simple as possible in this one
Doctor: what is the best best sound you ever heard Me: well, I think you may be familiar to that legendary sentence Doctor: which one? Me: mh mh mh... *Let's dew it*
I love a good cut of meat, but after trying a few Guga methods I have become as schteak addicted as ever. It can be price prohibitive. So a good method to grilling up tender round steak is intriguing. I've been using sour cream (easier than pureeing fruit) with good results, but the hoarders snatched up all the round. It did make one of those cheap "charcoal steaks" (I don't know the cut, since don't label it) tender and amazing. I also picked the one with unusually high marbling over the other 2 charcoal steaks that were available.
@@takingdaggers it is such an exciting moment when your standing in the aisle right between someones grandma and a middle aged IT guy on his lunch break picking out coldcuts shopper, while your just gazing at the meats trying to measure the marbles on that hunk of beef, and decide which one your going to take home and beat that night.
Just marinate the steak in sour cream. I didn't notice much of a difference when I did an experiment on a London broil cut into thirds however. Apparently the sour cream tenderizes fat marbling. If there is none, no bueno. Beating it with hammer worked well tho. Tasty and while not tender per se, it wasn't tough. Because I pounded it it was too thin to cook medium rare, so it was done. Would be excellent with a nice suace.
While watching the video, i was thinking about three better options with the techniques: 70% papaya + 30% pineapple (or vice versa), and second idea is doing the pineapple one for less than an hour (maybe around 30~40 minutes), and optionally maybe also, because the pineapple is only good for tenderizing but leaves grainy texture, maybe try doing 4~6 hits with the Jaccard (don't overdo it) and marinade in papaya for an hour as you did. Please Guga take notes and try these three, i'm very determined and curious to find out the absolute perfect way to tenderize a very cheap cut without ruining its taste, crust, juiciness, etc... Please consider checking these three suggestions, because we all have to get to the bottom of this. Imagine if you could make the cheapest meat possible taste and feel like a premium restaurant cut.
For the Jaccard, I go slower making sure to go all the way through the steak in a straight line to the cutting board. Also just up and down (2 passes) the steak on either side. If you rush, as Gugua did, moving around as you puncture the meat you'll just rip up instead of getting nice straight cuts through the steak. I also use it on sous vide chicken breast, which works like a charm.
I think the enzymes work at different pHs so when you mix them together you get a pH where neither of the enzymes work well. Just a guess tho correct me if I’m wrong.
@@macktheknifee9301 enzymes only affect certain substrates that match their active sites. Just because enzymes are proteins, it doesn't mean they effect eachother
Probably could do some pork and defintiely some wild game like deer or elk. I am betting turkey would do alright as well. However, I definitely could see chicken getting kinda on the slimey side, especially the white meat.
With chicken, you reduce the time and sear it. The jaccard works better with a pan fried situation. Lamb or mutton would be a good application. Pork, but we don't eat that so I don't know.
Next episode use the Jaccard and compare between the amount of hits. Starting with 2 hits each side, 4, 6, 10 and such. I believe the number of hits has a BIG factor on this.
He also did the pineapple before but Michael meant that he forgot to include it in this vid, since this vid is kind of a compilation of all techniques.
It's funny how (as a fellow scientist) Darizona's answer was the "proper" explanation and yet "the enzymes don't get along" sums it up pretty well in 5 words......
You always do a great job of comparing stuff. I’d love to see a comparison of different woods (or none) used during grilling (not smoking), as well as a gas as a control, and see if it even makes any difference at all...
@@peioruiz1851 But that would contradict the whole point of the video, as that would be roast, And Guga does mention that slow cooking for hours does in part tenderize the meat
I have a Jaccard and love it but I use it primarily for marinating meats. use it a few times a side and then put the meat in to marinate. it really speeds the process up!
While I know this was supposed to be the finale, one thing I would love to see is an overnight Coca-Cola marinade. I heard that because of how acidic coke is, it will break up the fibers very nicely, and even give a bit of a sweet flavor to the meat like a lot of chinese sweet+sour dishes.
I feel you bro. Once I had a test the next day but ended up watching Bon appetite videos on butchering different animals... I don’t know why watching a guy dissecting a cow is fun, but it is. And each video is over 30 min too
IbrahimMC Look for another video on how to use it. You don’t have to slam it down, the blades are razor sharp as he said. Also he had to go over that steak at least 10-15 times per side. That’s way too much. Trust me, it works wonders. Especially on cheaper cuts of meat.
Angel is getting too good at guessing what you've done to the steaks lol. At this point he can start his own channel and Guga will have to find a new partner XD
Great experiment. I wonder if you were to dry brine the steak overnight after the fruit, you may be able to get a crust, as it would dry out and extract a lot of the moisture.
The results for the jaccard blew me away! I work in a fine dining restaurant and we use a jaccard. We don’t have any eye round steaks, all prime except the filet, and they’re all super juicy and absolutely amazing. We cook them in a 1200 degree broiler. There are a few different factors here, I wonder which of the keeps ours juicy and his steak not. Maybe a bit of all of them.
I think he over-did the jaccard. I use mine all the time, typically on sirloin. I do it twice on each side then stop. I always cook steak low and slow rather than directly over the fire, so that probably affects it too.
Don't ever put series finale in the title again u scared the hell out of me of a sec. Guga Foods has become part of my Christmas tradition. Catching up family who don't watch UA-cam on all the cool stuff u did this yr is something everyone really loves.
Seniors love cubed steak to make Swiss Steak, which i like too. I worked in a supermarket meat room during college and cubed lots of beef, ask to have it cubed or cubed more than it is. 3x through the cuber takes a minute and its almost hamburger by then. Its included in the price of meat, no extra cost!!
I used to be an onsite caterer. The Eye round was the prime cut. A couple of hours in the oven and in front of the person paying for the party I would just gentley push a butter knife down to slice it. They loved the tenderness and flavour.
For Jaccard, make one pass, non-overlapping in once direction, then one pass at 90 degrees. Flip and do the same. Don't slam, gently press and roll also flattens steak. Try it ;)
Just a note, You're supposed to use a Jaccard perpendicular to the grain, Steaks were cut against the grain. Needling with the grain wont cut up the intramuscular connections so it wont tenderize as much and you'll just open it up to dry out. Try a Flank steak or a Skirt steak, Use the Jaccard to needle in between the big grains then Grill it and slice against the grain.
1:23 this cut roast, a jaccard (But mabye 2 passes.) and a soy sauce dip with garlic powder for 30 minutes before cooking and back in the drippings off the grill. Cheap and potent if you like soy sauce... Dripping in ziploc with the cuts you dont eat... Quick and easy.
I went to costco today and they had managed to get a supply of wagyu filets, ribeyes, and filets. But they had blade tenderized them all! What a colossal waste.
for one final experiment, what about tenderizing the cheapest steak possible, then coating, vacuum sealing, and freezing aged wagyu fat into the meat and frying it up. In theory, you should get the tenderization you want, and if you can get the fat soft enough so it can deep into the pores with the vacuum sealer and solidifying the fat again by freezing it, should be really flavorful as well
14:01 Probably both enzymes were supposed to work at a certain pH each one that got altered by mixing both of them, so the actual enzyme activity was lower.
I bet if u used the pokey staby thing then marinaded it would still be tender but also not as dry. Also if you stab it less it will probably be less like ground beef.

While I know this was supposed to be the finale, one thing I would love to see is an overnight Coca-Cola marinade. I heard that because of how acidic coke is, it will break up the fibers very nicely, and even give a bit of a sweet flavor to the meat like a lot of chinese sweet+sour dishes.
Angel looks like he's tired of testing eye round and wants some wagyu experiments :P
Sucks to get free steak I guess. Loll
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

UA-cam when im studying: wanna see a guy experiment with his steaks?
I feel you bro. Once I had a test the next day but ended up watching Bon appetite videos on butchering different animals... I don’t know why watching a guy dissecting a cow is fun, but it is. And each video is over 30 min too
Thanks for being our collective Meat Uncle!
I like the rain. There's nothing quite like eating while you listen to the rain ☺️☺️☺️
3:13 thats also the reason why pineapple has that weird sting when eaten
You bite a pineapple & the pineapple bites you back.
is there a way to try a Japanese Wagyu A5 Eye round? would love to see that guga
Yeah, the toughest part of the tenderest meat, it looks interesting
Isn't A5 a measure of marbling?
@@dannilainne385 imagine an eye round with that marbling
He’s over using the Jaccard. It works wonders if used correctly.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking
how to use it? i was thinking of buying it but i changed my mind after this video
IbrahimMC Look for another video on how to use it. You don’t have to slam it down, the blades are razor sharp as he said. Also he had to go over that steak at least 10-15 times per side. That’s way too much. Trust me, it works wonders. Especially on cheaper cuts of meat.
@@TheeDrtyGhttoKid those blades are so long it seems really stupid to do it to both sides
That’s the same method Costco does for all their steaks
I love when guga gets scientific with food
Eu adoro quando o Guga pega mais uma veia científica com as receitas e explica bem explicado
12:48 he laughed to himself knowing few of us would get it, what a champ
He exposing Trump on the Low Key KEKW
Since this meat has no marbeling it should be cooked to a rare doneness to maximize flavour.
Angel is getting too good at guessing what you've done to the steaks lol. At this point he can start his own channel and Guga will have to find a new partner XD
Great experiment. I wonder if you were to dry brine the steak overnight after the fruit, you may be able to get a crust, as it would dry out and extract a lot of the moisture.
Another idea for Guga’s crazy obsession over tenderizing eye round lol. Luv it
I like it when it rains in your videos. It's peaceful.
The results for the jaccard blew me away! I work in a fine dining restaurant and we use a jaccard. We don’t have any eye round steaks, all prime except the filet, and they’re all super juicy and absolutely amazing. We cook them in a 1200 degree broiler. There are a few different factors here, I wonder which of the keeps ours juicy and his steak not. Maybe a bit of all of them.
I think he over-did the jaccard. I use mine all the time, typically on sirloin. I do it twice on each side then stop.
I always cook steak low and slow rather than directly over the fire, so that probably affects it too.
The raw “all of the above” steak looks like the rice krispy treat from hell
Breaking down the proteins wouldn t affect its nutrition caracteristics?
Fernando Rodriguez No, it’s all digested into constituent amino acids by your body anyway.
7:10 "its like disintegrated right on the surface"
It must be mandalorian works
Don't ever put series finale in the title again u scared the hell out of me of a sec. Guga Foods has become part of my Christmas tradition. Catching up family who don't watch UA-cam on all the cool stuff u did this yr is something everyone really loves.
Hey GUGA, can you try "Chaliapin Steak Don" from shokugeki no souma. TY
Guga is the only guy with both eye round and wagyu in his fridge
Adam Ragusea might have entered the chat
Imagine how wagyu eye round would look like.
Seniors love cubed steak to make Swiss Steak, which i like too. I worked in a supermarket meat room during college and cubed lots of beef, ask to have it cubed or cubed more than it is. 3x through the cuber takes a minute and its almost hamburger by then. Its included in the price of meat, no extra cost!!
I used to be an onsite caterer. The Eye round was the prime cut. A couple of hours in the oven and in front of the person paying for the party I would just gentley push a butter knife down to slice it. They loved the tenderness and flavour.
Me: sees the scientific explanation
*they're speaking the language of gods*
😂 exactly
10:16 that reaction was so well syncronized
Think the real lesson here is, don’t listen to people in the comments. “Why don’t you do it all?”
He does it for the people, so the people don't have to. He's a hero.
@@jimmy_kirk Haha, touché. I can't count how much I've saved watching Guga try it first.
The rain and thunder were actually really nice. Felt like I was at the table with you.
For Jaccard, make one pass, non-overlapping in once direction, then one pass at 90 degrees. Flip and do the same. Don't slam, gently press and roll also flattens steak. Try it ;)
Guga have you ever tried pineapple on a roast or does it not work on that thick of meat?
Everyone: enzymes
This guy: emzynes
Paya Slurry - "Doesn't look appetizing"
Speak for yourself ;)
Just a note, You're supposed to use a Jaccard perpendicular to the grain, Steaks were cut against the grain.
Needling with the grain wont cut up the intramuscular connections so it wont tenderize as much and you'll just open it up to dry out.
Try a Flank steak or a Skirt steak, Use the Jaccard to needle in between the big grains then Grill it and slice against the grain.
1:23 this cut roast, a jaccard (But mabye 2 passes.) and a soy sauce dip with garlic powder for 30 minutes before cooking and back in the drippings off the grill. Cheap and potent if you like soy sauce... Dripping in ziploc with the cuts you dont eat... Quick and easy.
I went to costco today and they had managed to get a supply of wagyu filets, ribeyes, and filets. But they had blade tenderized them all! What a colossal waste.
Did they have filets?
@@jamescalder326 he literally mentioned it in his comment
Did they have ribeye? Costco sounds awesome
Guga: "doesn't record himself seasoning both sides of the steak"
Comment section: YoU dOn'T SeAsOn BoTh SidEs!?!?!
Remember! When you eat pineapple - pineapple eat you😈🍍
That's kinky
Omg that logic
Eh... the pineapple gonna fight your body's thick layer of protection before it enter the body and rip the meat apart
Guga, please make some Cajun recipes. Red beans and rice, gumbo, and jambalaya. Let's do it!!
I loved the rain sounds 😍
My favorite video is still the steak soaked in pineapple for 12 hours or so. It was almost disintegrated.
I think the vid wasnt really apetizing
for one final experiment, what about tenderizing the cheapest steak possible, then coating, vacuum sealing, and freezing aged wagyu fat into the meat and frying it up. In theory, you should get the tenderization you want, and if you can get the fat soft enough so it can deep into the pores with the vacuum sealer and solidifying the fat again by freezing it, should be really flavorful as well
14:01 Probably both enzymes were supposed to work at a certain pH each one that got altered by mixing both of them, so the actual enzyme activity was lower.
I bet if u used the pokey staby thing then marinaded it would still be tender but also not as dry. Also if you stab it less it will probably be less like ground beef.
Rain really set the vibe
Your videos are really good btw.
Sorry for the rain?!?! This is all I want. Relaxing rain sounds and steak
