@jamesmorrow5527 The paste kept the meat from oxidizing and turning gray, which you saw on the regular dry aged steak.

Hi Guga, I have a video idea for you. I recently learned that snacks that use MSG sometimes also contain Disodium Inosinate and Disodium Guanylate (aka DSI/DSG or I+G) to enhance the effect of MSG by 20x-30x stronger (for example, Doritos, Pringles, KFC, Snyders Pretzel Pieces, Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing, etc). From what I’ve seen, some people buy a 50/50 premix of DSI and DSG (for example, by the brand Make It Meaty) and then make a custom mix of 97g MSG and 3g DSI/DSG to make an “enhanced MSG mix”. I was thinking the experiment could be this: 1. Steak + Salt Pepper Garlic (control) 2. Steak + SPG + MSG 3. Steak + SPG + MSG + DSI/DSG Then maybe you could do a mini test with maybe another meat like chicken or maybe a potato based side dish or something, so we can see how it works with and without the MSG+DSI/DSG. I can even see the video title already “Food scientists say THIS makes MSG BETTER!” Anyways, I hope you give it a shot!

Wow, I'm Italian and I've worked in the food industry as well in a restaurant and I was not aware that anchovy was not really used abroad. In Italy anchovy is used a lot in salads as well as on pizza as it can add that salty and smoked taste that too many times is missing! I also did not know how to translate acciughe (anchovy in Italian) before today so wow, thanks Guga!

Anchovy is used all around the world, for example it's instrumental in british worcester sauce. It's just rather acquired taste and many people dislike the strong saltiness. Myself, i love it and if i wanna be particularly crazy, i replace the ham on Hawaii pizza with anchovies - sounds absolutely depraved (especially for haters of pinapple on pizza), but the sweet and salty goes surprisingly well together.

Haven't watched, but I use Worcestershire sauce on my steaks a lot. So I'd imagine anchovies wouldn't add too wild a flavor, since it's one of the main ingredients in that sauce. Still, looking forward to seeing. Yeah, my theory was right. You got the fermented fish effect, that really helps bring out the flavor of the meat. Very cool.

It appears in a lot of restaurant sauces. Years ago when I worked at a mid-high end Italian restaurant we would always put anchovy in the pizza sauce and we were told not to tell anybody unless they asked for the allergy information. We did let people know in the menu that there was animal products in all the pizzas, though.

Eventually I'm going to try a dry aged steak. Also Guga, your book is fire! I've got a picnic pork shoulder drying in the fridge for tomorrow's cook and I can't wait to see how it turns out.

Hey Guga, I bought your book and read it cover to cover and it's so helpful I can't wait to try every recipe!

Glad you got around to this and it went so well! It was a suggestion I made on your Facebook post a long time ago. Anchovy is instant flavor upgrade, fortunately my wife likes it too 😁

I love making pasta with anchovy paste and butter. You barely melt the butter, swirl a little anchovy paste in until it dissolves, add a little pasta water, toss the pasta in it, and garnish with a little Parmesan. Simple, easy, and delicious. 😋

You should try mixing your top 10 dry-aged experiments based on flavor profiles and dry age them for a delightful culinary experience!

vibes were great in this video. was not expecting anchovies to be such a hit!

The quality of guga's video is fire 1000% awesome...

I always love these umami experiments. It would be amazing to see what would happen if you made a paste out of shiitaki and porcini mushrooms and dry-aged with it!

Here in Sweden, we have a dish called Slottstek, which means Castlesteak. It is a dish where you use anchovies. I do not remember the recipe but I have tried it ad it is surprisingly delicious. Even though I cannot stand the taste of fish. This experiment makes me both curious and afraid.

It gets incredibly confusing, because Anchovies are not called Anchovies in Sweden, they're called Sardeller, while Anchovies is the name of a product made from Skarpsill(Sprat). Confusing as all hell. In fact, so confusing that you got it wrong, Slottstek uses Swedish Anchovies which is the Skarpsill(Sprat) product :D

The anchovies are preserved in olive oil, which also adds to the flavour. Great work, Guga.

Dried anchovies is often being used in Malaysia as either deep fried for nasi lemak or being boiled as soup , being use in Pan Mee. Maybe I can try to use the soup as a chicken brine and see if it can improve as roast chicken

We need a video with "The Best of Guga Food Experiments" like a top 10 of the best results from all your crazy experiments :D Would be awesome. Love it!

Very cool Guga. I’m sure you’ve thought about combining dryage experiments. What about dry aging with a combination of anchovies and Gochujang? I bet it would be next level

also a good thing is anchovies are cheap and accessible ( contrary to some other dry age ingredient you used ) so to get such an improvement for a little price increase is really good

I'am from Germany and i love your way to cook 🤩 I ordert your book and i enjoyed it😍

I'd love to see Guga's twist on using on steaks one kinda lesser known Polish speciality - smoked plums. Neat part is that you don't have to search for European plums. Californian ones will work just fine and give spectacular results. You just have to get the most ripe ones you can find, remove the seeds and put them into smoker for a low and slow smoky business until they are all sticky and wrinkled. Oh boy, what a treat it is. Make a BBQ sauce with it, a marmalade to spread on rustic bread, stuff a duck, dry age a steak or eat a pound of it straight from the smoker. Let me tell you - this tastes like heaven and is very, very addicting 😊

great idea! great experiment! Great results! Try aging with black olive paste !

Yeah boy Two of my favorite meats dry aged together. I bet this would taste great 😊

Hey Guga, thanks for your great videos. After watching your videos, I have three requests for future videos: - How do you clean all your pans and other cooking ustensils so they continue to be so shiny ? - Please cook a foie gras in a terrine using sous vide. - Please try some other cattle breeds than wagyu and American beef. And yes I'll repeat those requests often. ;D

I want to see Guga dry age with Matcha powder. I can't physically eat beef, but I still love watching.

Hi Guga, please dry age in edible dirt/clay. It would be so interesting to see what tones and flavours it would give the meat! This is the 142nd time asking btw.

Hey guga I recently saw your video with Brian Tsao on the worst steaks. I actually think Jacks salting method really works having done it multiple times with great results. I think a salting experiment video would be great!! The key to that method is doing the amount of salt he used plus the 1 hour per inch marinade time. Removing all the remaining salt before cooking.
