As one of the biggest fig enthusiasts on RU-vid, I approve of this video 👍 Dried figs have a very intense, nutty flavor and concentrated sweetness. I recommend getting fresh figs (if you can find them out of season) and puréing them as a marinade for your next experiment. Blending the figs into a liquid (like you do with the pineapple) will not have as strong of a flavor or sweetness, so it may not impact the taste as much. You may get better results.

I just want to say thank God for Guga. I've been watching for a couple of years now and because of his videos I cook much better steaks than I used to. My finest achievement was buying a £100 A5 Japanese Wagyu ribeye and cooking it to absolute perfection for me and my friends to enjoy. Seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then cooked sous vide for 2 hours at 57°C, and finished in a smoking hot pan to give it a gorgeous crust. Hands down the best steak I have ever eaten, and absolutely worth every penny!

@Idk-is2id 2 года назад

@aceofspades4 2 года назад

CRAZY IDEA. Pineapple is still the reigning champ, but it leaves a sweetness and it never seems to compare to filet minion. Make your pineapple puree out of a whole pineapple (including the leafy stem, which also has a LOT of bromelain) and pour into a bowl. MIX IN 25 PACKETS OF ACTIVE DRY YEAST, AND LET THE LIQUID SIT FOR 2 HOURS. The yeast should consume a lot of the sugar. After the 2 hours is up, then put the eye round steak in that NEW liquid to tenderize for 1 hour. NOT DONE YET. Coat steak in MSG and dry age for 2 days in the fridge uncovered. Cook and serve. If a lot of the sugar is eaten by the yeast AND the MSG adds a nice UMAMI flavor, it could be the right combination of tender, flavorful, and NOT noticeably sweet. This could be a game changer, it also could be terrible.

$1 Steak idea: since the Jaccard is causing it to lose juice while cooking: after stabbing, put it in a vacuum sealed bag with wagyu tallow and cook it Sous Vide. Hopefully bathing it in the tallow while cooking will get the tallow inside all the little holes the Jaccard pokes into the steak and make it juicier than the control (while also being more tender).

@enderking9204 2 года назад

i remember a video a while back where they found that putting fat in the sous vide bag makes it less tender

@ExaltedDuck 2 года назад

Maybe instead of loosening the fig up with water, go with something acidic like lemon or lime juice (or maybe even grape or pomegranate). Thought being, the sour might balance the sweet and the acid might help tenderize even more.

@newt9105 2 года назад

strong acids denature proteins, when you expose meat to it for too long it creates mushy and slimy texture, kind of like bromaline in pinapples

@MunifTheGreat 2 года назад

Actually that might change the effect of the ficin acting as a protease on the meat. Due to the acid being at a lower pH, the state of some of the amino acids in the protein will be altered which would also alter its shape, which definitely does affect it's effect as an enzyme. The better option is to sequentially at these element, the fig mixture first followed by the acid.

That Jaccard is perfect for a faux wagyu idea I had, but it's a little complicated. You may want to get The King Of Random to help you out. First you tenderize the steak with the Jaccard. Then you put it in a clean vacuum chamber. Render beef fat, preferably wagyu. Pour the rendered fat into the chamber till it covers the steak. Turn on the vacuum to "Fat stabilize" the steak. This pushes the fat into every crevice of the steak. Take out, wrap in foil, and stick in fridge to cool the fat to a solid. Remove from fridge, trim excess fat. Cook, and enjoy.

Guga, thanks to you, I can cook the tough meats I receive, as steaks. I use pineapple, and those hard meats(probably some are even eye rounds, but IDK) become tender enough that I've never had any complaints at home. People here don't usually have steak and they really enjoyed it. In contrast, my mom once took bite sized cuts from those meats I cook to see how they are without pineapple. Yes, they were really unchewable, even though the smell and taste was great. I also did some bread crumbs deep frying to add the crust the pineapple took away, and it was even better! The crust was separating, though, because the steak was too juicy or watery. So I will only do the flour the next time, so it will dry the outside of the steak and, hopefully, let it have a crust. BTW, pineapple is expensive here when compared to buying power. So I add some water too, so I have more juice from the same pineapple. There is too much enzymes anyway, so diluting doesn't hurt anyone, while letting us have more pineapple.

Wagu tallow warmed to make it a liquid and soak the steak in...hopefully infuses into the blade holes. 2.b. Duck fat soak as in 2.a. 3. Let the fat solidify in the refrigerator. (time? unsure how long...30min-1hr?) 4. Add the fig paste to tenderize as in this experiment. 5. Cook! I would love to see if the fat infusion would increase the juiciness and flavor!

@aminy23 2 года назад

I'm Afghan. Traditionally with tough cuts of veal or beef for kabobs - we'd blend onions, unripe/green figs, salt, citrus juice, and a little water; optionally cumin, coriander seeds, and cardamom as well. We then pass the blended mix through a cloth (cheesecloth or cotton cloth) to strain it and use the juice as a tenderizing marinade. Using just the juice stops it from having burnt on crud when grilled. When skewering them, it's traditional to put bits of sheep fat between them. Wrapping it in bacon or other animal fat should work nicely as well. Basting it with vegetable oil is also an option. Supposedly the unripe figs have a higher Ficin content and they're less sweet. The traditional citrus is the Seville or Bitter orange which is an orange that's not sweet. Unripe oranges work, lemon/lime works, or a mix of lime and orange juice is a great substitute.

You're thinking of the fig wasp. It doesn't fully digest the bug, the bug remains trapped in the middle and deposits it's eggs in the fig. As the fig matures new wasps shoot out of it. That insect doesn't exist in North America, so they had to develop varieties of figs that don't require pollination by it.

Asafoetida infused oil or ghee to baste a steak. It’s a resin spice from India used to give food a allium flavor. You have to let it cook in fat before using it though or else it will overpower your food. Also, beware of the quantity- a little goes a LONG way. Maybe compare it to a garlic basting?

Interesting that you use dried figs. If you have access to a fig tree and can get young leaves and/or unripe fruits you can make a literally tasteless extract of the latex (fig milk) into some cold water. Soaking off a bucket of unripe White Genoa figs - for green fig preserves - leaves a water that has enough ficin to make your skin sting if its too thin. The latex contains the most enzyme. Green Papaya fruit and leaves contain papain which is also an excellent meat tenderiser.

You should try to tenderize that 1$ steak with papaya. Papaya has also a tenderizing enzyme, but the best is yet to come: The enzyme is in the papaya flesh and in the seeds. The seeds have a peppery taste an don't add as much moisture as the flesh of the papaya would add, so a good sear should be possible. Hope my English is not to bad. Greetings Alex

@jamescraun1434 2 года назад

@Guga - When you use the jaccard, the blades are going with the grain of the muscles strands, so I don't think it's breaking them up so much as pre-separating them. I know for other cuts, you have to cut them a certain way so the final cut is against the grain. I wonder what would happen if you used the Jaccard on the roast before cutting into steaks? Then the blades would be cutting perpendicular to the muscle strands... basically cutting them into smaller strands. Also in that same vein... I wonder what would happen if you just used a deli slicer to cut the round into VERY thin slices and then glued them back together with meat glue?

@nafspark 2 года назад

2 ideas: 1) you should slice these steaks on the bias to help shorten the meat fibers in each slice, which should help with the tenderness. 2) for the blade tenderizer, what would it do if you tenderized it AFTER you had cooked it and let it rest, just before serving? Theoretically that would keep the juices from flowing out during cooking.

Guga: if you are going to use Jaccard, you cannot grill the steak afterward, as you saw (the juice escapes). Jaccard is perfect when you are going to cook it as a country-fried steak or if you are going to make beef parmigiana. It also works for sous vide, but not as well.

Thanks for this upload! I recently started on the journey of heart, liver and cheaper cuts of meat. Not just to save money but to also diversify my "meat portfolio" I've come up with a marinade for flank steak that eats through the toughness and turns it into a prime cut!

@timmusician5060 2 года назад

Is it possible to do a double dry age??? Like, dry age a steak 🥩, then after cutting off the pellicle, dry age it again? Of course you would have to start with a larger cut. And even then I would think that the second round of dry aging would have to be shorter than the first. Would a double dry age be better than a single?

@aminy23 2 года назад

You could just dry age it twice as long. 90 days instead of 45. I can't imagine that cutting the pellicle will make much difference.

Food and music is LIFE to me back in the days I use to break a few eggs in a bowl give it a mix and add tuna and salt and pepper then add oil to a pan and get it hot and add the mixture let it fry for a couple of mins then flip it then when finished add to bread with butter and some ketchup and my sisters used to love that also u can add cheese too, so like I said food and music and company that's all u need!!! Bless Up!!

Repeat comment from previous stake tenderizing video. One thought I had a while back was to potentially tenderize tough meat was by rapid and repeated freeze thawing. Basically cut to stake thickness and place in a sous vide bag then use dry ice or liquid nitrogen to freeze and thaw with water bath probably at least 10 degrees below cook temp (for 10-30 min or just to thawed through; not to bring to full temp just to get as rapid a thaw as possible without cooking the meat at all) and repeat as necessary (maybe 3 cycles minimum and I think you will probably get diminishing returns after 10 cycles so maybe that as the extreme maximum). Based on some of your older frozen steak and thawing videos, I think the rapid freezing and thawing from the process I described might prevent some (hopefully most if not all) of the loss of quality seen in the repeated freezing experiment you did a while back. I know you found that the refrigerator thaw to be best, however I think the repeated multiday thawing may have contributed to the loss of quality seen in that experiment (maybe if wanted, do the final thaw in the fridge). Also, the ultra-cold rapid freeze in dry ice or liquid nitrogen may help prevent the quality loss seen in the repeated freeze experiment (with liquid nitrogen likely being the better option).

I remember Emeril Lagasse broke a food processor on Emeril Live while processing figs for Christmas cookies, so I'm impressed to see yours survived!

@bonob0123 2 года назад

wash the steak after the fig treatment. pat dry, maybe airdry in the fridge for a little bit, then maybe apply some fat to it: oil/butter/tallow/wagyu-fat etc before cooking. also cooking it on a pan w butter might help more than grilling it since it has no internal fat to keep it moist

@hellomoto170 2 года назад

For your next $1 steak video, you should try deep frying them after tenderizing with pineapple / ficin - I think the crust from deep frying would take these to the next level!

@danielstraus7061 2 года назад

Hey Guga i have a suggestion to make for your next dry age experiment .so can you dry age 3 steaks? one steak should be dry adged with dry anchovies in theorie it should add great umami flavour. the second one is shitake mushrooms again great umami with abit of fungus taste. the third one would be kinda special since i think regular truffle would be to expensive use truffle oil should get simmilar result . if you have read this thankyou for doing so.

I will often use a Jaccard (when I do use it) after seasoning. It helps to push the seasoning deeper into the meat. This method works great for my sous vide cacao rubbed brisket.

Figs make a nice fruit preserve, I have a fig tree in my backyard, it hasn't produced much yield in the last couple years, sadly.. Some Austrians use roasted fig as a seasoning for their preferred coffee blends, the UK have regulations for making that kind of coffee grind and it's no more than 15% fig seasoning.

honestly that "one dollar steak" is a place to have fun and it can be played with to the extreme. I never do it the same.

@avishekchatterjee9973 2 года назад

To the people talking about cooking an eye round steak in a pressure cooker: of course it will be tender, but Guga is serving it as a medium-rare steak. It is impossible to cook beef of any cut in a pressure cooker and have it be medium-rare. The obvious solution to make it soft and still have it taste like a steak rather than stew meat is to use sous vide, and I don't remember if Guga has already cooked an eye round steak using sous vide.

@GaryPopejr 2 года назад

Omg Guga....this would be a lifesaver. Make a separate channel just for shorts. And make it only include your amazing side dishes so folks can find them easily. Don't even need new footage just throw in the side dish section you have here lol. I would forever be in your debt!

@BabyYoda5555 2 года назад

Use the fig marinade with some BBQ dry rub seasoning. That way the slight sweetness won’t be out of place.

Try using a cuber. Cubed round steak is frequently used for chicken fried steak and it's fork tender.

@TomQuiNEstPasLa 2 года назад

Try it on lamb! Fig would go great with Magreb-style honey-almond lamb dishes. I'm sure there are plenty of herbs and spices that could make lamb dynamic as well--seems perfect for an experiment head-to-head!

Guga can you try fasting before eating a steak? People say that any food/beverage you consume after a fast tastes amazing

@kellendavis8638 2 года назад

Steak #2 with the blade tenderizing would be good with some of the ranch seasoning compound butter. Extra flavor and some juicy goodness.

@thejacobhill 2 года назад

Guga, can you try some of the tenderizers but cut the round like a picaña. Like cut it where the fibers are long and only cut short when cutting for a bite.

@Sethonious 2 года назад

I think the jaccard is good for wet cooking methods. Good for Swiss steak or gravy braise to let flavors in.

@hyfy-tr2jy 2 года назад

One thing everyone should clearly know...if you mechanically tenderize a steak it should be cooked to medium-well at the very least as the spikes have now contaminated the interior of the meat with external contaminants

@jessibell-pj8dx 2 года назад

Guga, you got me into cooking steak. I've tried a lot of steak because of you. But I've never seen you make steak my favorite way. Salt, black pepper, and hickory pellets. I'm trying you guga. The hickory smoke takes it to another level. Please please please try it on your show. It is a life changer.

@earthknight60 2 года назад

Blade tenderising works best if you're cooking the meat in a pan with something to retain (or add) juices. Grilling isn't for blade tenderised meat.

I like a chew, that said I fork every steak I cook to get the flavor (seasoning) in it as to on it but I'm a crazy person and enjoy watching ppl tell me I'm doing it wrong. Thanks guga for giving your quality ideas!
