Great to hear you speaking throughout . . . you really are very good on camera . . . but you still need to TASTE THE DISH!!!!! maybe you think this - saying how delicious it is - is a bit masterbatory . . . but when you taste it you can talk about the flavours - the importance of the seasoning - the caramelisation etc . . . it's not giving yourself a pat on the back - it's sharing the experience of EATING after the experience of cooking. One other thing . . . talking about variations is very much a confident chef thing . . . most people don't understand this confidence - the freedom to express in food . . . just stick to the recipe! A whole video (or series of videos) on creativity in cooking would be great - think about how you could teach that . . .

Compared to American beef, that entrecote looks quite lean. Almost no marbling. That has been my experiencie in Europe. I've been told that European beef is aged longer than its counterpart. Not sure that's true. Please comment on the differences between European and American beef. Regards.

Thank you Marc! will do! For entrecote you can sub a NY strip or ribeye. not all the cuts are the same here in Spain, as they are in France. The filet in the US is a beef tenderloin, and if that cut you get the filet mignon, tenderloin, and chateaubriand. The chateaubriand is my favorite but its also the most expensive. If you haven't had wagyu beef, give it a try. It's like butter and very different then Angus beef.

James - I've always considered Stilton to be the king of cheeses. A bit of a misnomer, but if I were only allowed one cheese, it would nearly always be Stilton. As well, Thyme is my favorite fresh herb, worthy of concern. What I've found in New York, even in winters, is if I keep a bit of it planted but under so much as a gallon vinegar (translucent, plastic container, with the bottom cut off), Thyme will winter over, quite well, being always available fresh, when in need. I would imagine this must work in Spain as well.

I went to my mums house and brought ribeye steaks over. Nothing like this of course just really good store bought steaks. I was busy doing whatever I was doing at the time (think I went to the loo) and she thought she would help me out and I caught her midway through cooking the steaks which i found out was she put them in a cold pan then put that pan on the hob. I heard the spatter of oil noise, realised what was happening and ran in the kitchen. Staring back at me were these grey looking steaks that made me want to cry. She also put my crispy crushed potatoes with garlic and parsley that I had just finished and took out of the oven and put them on a plate and put in a microwave “to keep piping hot while the steak cooked.” 😂 I’m just some dude that likes cooking…. Reckon it would be hard for a pro like James to watch others cooking and not want to fix disasters enfolding in front of him.

My sister married long time ago a French landowner and together we went strolling in theirvwoods for boletes, trompettes de la mort and girolles. Quite often we found about 2-3 kilo's. We found a place full of truffes and produced our own olive oil miced with truffes. Particularly I like the wild kitchen. Top ingredients prepared on open fire, and it works.

Probably pastures as well. I hope you treated them first. You have to do the same when infusing herbs. Use water with a small amount of powdered citric acid. If the amount is right it will not affect the flavor. Do the same with a garlic infusion. Vinegar infusions do not require this additional step. I bet you can get ingredients to make pasta but it will take a few tries to end up nice looking despite what TV shows.

I’ve learned a different school of thought for cooking steak, curious what your take is on this: the pan has to be extremely hot, and the garlic and thyme goes in with a little bit of butter in the last minute or two of cooking instead of the beginning, and this gets basted over the steak in that last few minutes. This gets the seer really nice without burning the garlic. I’m assuming your recipe is essentially substituting butter with the salsa, so you can fold in the thyme and garlic earlier? I’d love to hear your take on these different schools of thought.

Not going to lie - that steak looks delicious. I am kind of surprised that no dry brining was done, that and basting it in unsalted butter (that's how I do it at home). Garlic and Thyme and butter works perfect with both Beef Stakes and Pork Loin Steaks imho. Letting the steak rest the same time as cooking - that is super important. I can't stress that enough, as the heat pushes the juice to the centre of the protein, and resting allows the juice to spread back into the meat, making a much better experience.

at 2:32, when you look at the french beef cuts, you can clearly see how they love to over-complicate things. I worked years as a waiter in restaurants and I've seen first hand how french people (mostly men) love to complicate things, especially food, to make them look more sophisticated than they really are. Not sure if french women are impressed by that. At 4:31, I've always heard that pepper corn can burn while cooking. Except Guga: he says that pepper burns at a very high temp. As a scientist, I should base my conclusion on empirical observation. I will have to try both adding the pepper before searing and after.

I just use carmleized onions with a dab of BBQ to hold them in place.
