As an engineer with some training in chemistry, I think your problem with the seaweed steak was the sesame seeds. Sesame oil is mostly polyunsaturated fat, which is extremely fragile and prone to oxidation. Sesame seeds and sesame oil should be stored in the fridge or freezer. They are not shelf stable even at room temperature longterm, so when you grill them at high heat, you probably oxidized all the fats and they turned rancid. Anything sesame + heat is a no-no. Sesame seeds whole can be briefly baked, yes, but once you ground them and released their oils, they went rancid under heat, so that’s probably why Leo said it tasted so sour.

Yes ! This ! Seaweed butter is a product that actually exists in france and no one has ever reported it being sour. It's used for the reasons Guga wanted, mainly : MSG. One thing is done differently tho, they use fresh sea weed and not dehydrated one, meaning there is also a lot of salt in this butter.

It's dulse seaweed, very strong 'sea' taste. Very popular in Eastern Canada and NE USA. I can understand how it would kill a steak. Maybe try with Asian seaweed, much more mild flavour. Or you can use furikake, a Japanese rice topper that typically consists of a mixture of dried fish, sesame seeds, chopped seaweed, sugar, salt, and MSG.

Despite not having a lot of over-the-top descriptive words, it seems Angel has a fantastic identification palate. He often picks out what you've done to the food. When I watch these videos, I watch how Angel reacts, because he seems to know when something works, or when it doesn't. Leo is good for flowery descriptions, and I've gradually come to like him for that, but Angel is the one that I look to for whether it's actually enjoyable or not. It's a good dynamic between the two.

I really like how Guga shows both the positive and negative reactions to his food. Those meatballs looked good but I'm glad you didn't just edit out the negative reactions while still emphasizing that the recipe can be changed to others' likings. Always great content!

I ordered Black Garlic almost a year ago on a dare from a friend and haven't regretted it. Black Garlic has a wonderful, sweet flavor coupled with that subtle garlic taste and no acidic bite that makes it like candy. I can attest it goes great with steaks, and can't wait to mix it into butter.

@GUGA!: You know how every recipe ever mentions the importance of the fond in a pan for flavor. Why don't you try to make a compound butter with the brown fond in a pan (from cooking bacon or anything). You could also compare it to a streak crust compound butter. Get a crust on steaks, cut off the very edge and blend it with butter and add it over other steaks.

Definitely liking the seaweed butter. Le Buerre Bordier makes it and I was lucky enough to get my hands on some. Very good.

I’ve been putting black garlic on everything for the past year. It’s really a game changer on roasted veggies and steaks

Guga, I got some Aleppo Pepper after your video recently where you used it, and I have to say, it's one of the tastiest peppers I've ever tried. It's not too spicy (add some cayenne if you want to add kick along with it), but the flavor is out of this world for a spicy pepper. IDK what they're doing but it's absolutely fantastic

My go to for seasoning steaks is basically an elevated version of the old reliable salt + pepper + garlic powder. I use Lawry's seasoned salt + fresh cracked black pepper + black garlic powder. To make black garlic powder all you need to do is let the garlic "cook" for longer so that it no longer has any moisture. It becomes rock solid, so not spreadable, but then you just throw it in a grinder and powderize it.

That side dish looks amazing. Might give it a shot and make it myself.

Guga, you've tried so many different combinations of things. What about a steak-off ? An elimination tournamente where you pit your favorite 32 combinations head-to-head and only one winner steak! Something that i can say "if I could make one of Guga's recommendation, what would it be?"

Hey guga Ive been watching you along time and even made the butter of the gods. I was was wondering... could you marinate a steak in ramen seasoning? Possibly dry age in that kind of soidum content?

Sea weed and butter is really an awesome combination. Soooo good. Please do try it again without sesame seeds.

Guga, you should try a Toum garlic sauce brisket or dry age experiment

Here is a side dish idea for you Guga! It’s one I used to make allllll the time and still do occasionally. But here it is.. Put some pea’s, chopped carrots and cubed potatoes (even corn as well if you like, celery works well too) in a pan/casserole dish, add cut up chicken and a little chicken broth/seasoning, add a creamy gravy on top and then completely cover with biscuits that haven’t been baked yet (obviously lol) and then bake for 30-35 minutes at what I want to say was 350.. I’m sure you could probably figure out an appropriate temperature if that’s not right, it’s been a minute since I made it lol. You can also substitute the chicken for any other meat or don’t even add meat if you don’t want to but in that case, I think it still greatly benefits from getting the broth at least. But now that I think about it.. I would love to try this with wagyu steak tips. Steaks looked amazing!

Hey Guga, thanks for your great videos. After watching your videos, I have three requests for future videos: - Please try some other cattle breeds than wagyu and American beef. - 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. And yes I'll repeat those requests often. ;)

I highly recommend you using Dale’s steak seasoning in one of your videos. It’s liquid flavor gold, goes great with any kind of meat

Guga, I'm interested in an updated experiment of cooking methods where we don't just judge on taste, but also on effort before and after! Have been looking at this cold sear method which is supposedly a lot lighter on clean up, less fancy equipment required, and still quite good. This could go up against sous vide and reverse sear. Probably good to leave charcoal out, as that flavour is hard to reproduce unless there's some smoke gun.

Guga you have made so many steak experiments, from your experience gathered, whats the best recipe if you were to cook your best steak tomorrow for a special person? (without sous vide) Thanks

I will be trying this, this weekend.

I've been watching a lot of butter themed videos lately.... and I'm wondering if an experiment with foie gras has ever been done? It's duck liver, but I hear it has a VERY buttery flavor/texture to it. I'm curious as to how it holds up against regular butter and other compound butters

Black garlic you can never go wrong, unless you are really trying hard! Guga, what about possibly doing a black garlic fish sauce compound butter?

I’ve asked on every video for over four years for KANGAROO BURGERS and I won’t stop until you do it. But this coming Sunday is my birthday and it’s my birthday wish that you finally DO IT!!!

You should try dry age and then season a steak with oreo crumbs or milo. You can also try a compound butter version.
