This experiment is something I never thought of doing, but after many subscribers asking me to text this I decided to give this a try, I am so happy I did. Not only did I learn something new it was awesome to see what sparkling water does to meat.

I finally tried this method today on some steaks from the eye of round. The results were almost shocking. I never imagined anything from the eye could ever be that tender. The soda water I used was plain, and it did not leave a strange flavor on the meat. The lime flavor in your sample was almost certainly the culprit in altering the flavor of the steak.

@M0RALO Год назад

I understand put there's a big difference between soda water and Perrier. Perrier taste different than any sparkling water. Even the original without lime have his home signature

Actually, lime DOES enhance pepper. Ask a lot of Mexicans in Cozumel and the surrounding areas. They always sprinkle cayenne or chili peppers onto coconut with lime and it enhances the pepper flavor tremendously.

@JustWilson 3 года назад

Isn’t flavoured sparkling water now soda?

@RequiemPoete 3 года назад

@@JustWilson Yes and no. Sparkling Water is naturally carbonated water from specific springs, bottled at the source, so in addition to the carbonation, you also have the natural minerals that are dissolved into the water. Just like how sea salt from different sources will have different tastes. Soda water aka club soda is simply water that has had carbon dioxide dissolved into it, until no more will dissolve. Personally I think club soda would work just as well as the sparkling water, as my bet is the acidic nature of carbonated water is dissolving the steak.

@frenchie0800 3 года назад

@@RequiemPoete the answer is absolutely NO. Soda is a augury drink filled with crap.

I was a butcher for 10 years. We rarely ever sold these "eye of round" roasts. Mostly just cut them up and then ran them through the tenderizer machine at work for chicken fried steaks. I ended up dating a girl from Costa Rica. Her family was going to make an Eye Of Round roast, and me thinking I was an expert, I tried to speak up with my knowledge about beef and encourage them to use a different cut for a roast. They insisted to stick with Eye Of Round. Her family made amazing Eye Of Round roast, I was so impressed! That really opened my mind and wanted to learn more about other cultures and their ways of preparing and cooking meats :)

Lemon and lime do accentuate spices , especially pepper . It is the citric acid , other acidic liquids or fruit/veg will have a similar effect.

A interesting way to marinade relatively cheap meat you want to grill that I got from my father (German here, by the by): Apply a good amount of mustard to the beef, chop an onion per ~500 grams into rings and marinade it all for a night in "Pils" (~5% beer). It tenderizes the meat quite well and gives it a unique vlavor. No need to worry about the alcohol either, it evaporates during grilling.

Me and some friends here in France tested this out ourselves. Got an eyeround (our equivalent of what they sell here) and made one control steak, one pineapple and one sparkling water. Here in France people (not me) usually underseason their food (a little if any salt and pepper, yes it's sad) so our stakes were cooked medium rare in a pan, in a little bit of basic vegetable oil, small amounts of salt and pepper and that's it. The results we got was a super tender and flavorful pineapple steak and a bland near tasteless and medium tender sparkling water steak. This is pretty similar to what they got in the video but overall for us the pineapple won by a HUGE margin in tenderness and taste. We also saw that while cooking the steaks, all of them released nice juices except the sparkling water one. The sparkling water just sucked out all the juices from the stake or rather diluted them which could also be seen by how "bloody" the water was after we took it out one hour later (we did literally water down steak didn't we ?). Honestly, we were surprised and we might use the pineapple technique again as it not only made the stake more tender but also worked as a very mild marinade. Now we'll need to see how it actually pairs with marinades (after letting it sit for 1h in the pineapple mush and then put it into a real marinade) and sauces. The sparkling water one was a disappointment. I mean it's a lot cheaper to buy a bottle of carbonated water then a pineapple and a lot less work as it doesn't involve blending stuff. But the taste was a letdown. The only silver lining I see in this one is if you're someone who really, REALLY doesn't like the "bloody" taste of meat and wants to remove that form their steaks. Or if after tenderizing it for 1h in sparkling water, you put it in a very flavorful or strong marinade (or even beef broth ?) and let the steak soak in all the new juices. Well, hope this helps. :)

The reason the sparkling water tenderizes is that when carbonation occurs, a weak acid - carbonic acid - is a natural byproduct of the process. The pH is only 3-4.5 which is in same range as most yellow mustard. The carbonic acid is what softens the meat.

@tommydijulio 3 года назад

That's a clever inference but acidity alone does not tenderize meat. Adam Ragusea and other RU-vid have done experiments showing and explaining this.

@ChrisMcCullochTBone 3 года назад

@@tommydijulio Let me clarify: the acid tenderizes, but the carbonation is the key! The carbonation helps the carbonic acid permeate the meat quickly (the same way it's used for removing stains from fabric). An acid, no matter the strength, would be limited to slowly dissolving starting from the outside. The carbonation speeds the entire process up while dispersing the effect evenly.

Veal eye round (called magatello or girello) is one of the costliest cuts you can buy in Italy. I use it for making vitello tonnato: the meat (not cut) is simmered with canned tuna, anchovies, carrots, celery, parsley, onion, one garlic clive, spices, oil, white wine vinegar, a dash of dry white wine, capers for one and a half hours, then left to marinade overnight. The next day you remove all of the residual silverskin, slice very thinly. Take out the carrots, the spices, and the celery and parsley, then uses a stick blender to blitz all of what is left in the pot to a thick sauce (if it's too runny boil it for a few minutes); if you like it, you can add a tablespoon of mayo too. Place the sliced meat in a serving dish, add the sauce, topnwith the sliced carrots, and refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving. It's a traditional dish from Piedmont.

Great video! I wonder if it's the carbonic acid, or if there's something in Perrier (which is sourced from the ground and not artificially carbonated) that is doing the work? I'm not a chemist, but I like knowing stuff like that. It would be interesting to see if something like plain Ozarka sparkling water (artificially carbonated) would work just as well. I know that Coca-Cola works cuz it contains phosphoric acid, which does the work. Sparkling waters usually don't have this ingredient added.

Hello Guga Food , some sparkling water tenderizes the meat thanks to the sodium bicarbonate contained in it. you can directly use the sodium bicarbonate in brine but it changes the taste of the meat. here in france we regularly use corn starch or potato starch. dilute in cold water , you wait 20 mn ,you rinse ....but this also changes the taste and this creates a slightly sticky film on the top and the meat grills more quickly.
