I really want to see a tier-list ranking of Guga's various steak experiments.

Hey Guga! As a Texan who loves to BBQ, I really appreciate your videos. Your sides never disappoint either but can you post a video of your top favorite sides? I can never find the appropriate video for the side I want to try. Thank you again for all that you do.

Agreed. I think maybe a yearly "side dish recap of 2023" video with links to each one in the description, or at least the searchable video title would go a long way. I think they would drive a good amount of return traffic as people can more readily revisit older videos for the side dishes they want to try, so we can easily identify which video the garlic knots were from, etc. The footage is already theoretically already shot and cleaned up, you could just re-run a montage of the glamour shots of the finished products.

Love the side dish on this one. When I was a kid my mom would make a similar roll for New Year’s Eve but used a five-spice smoked duck instead. She would also use the duck fat and skin to make a fried rice. As Guga would say, “10 out of 10, would highly recommend!”

As a recommendation for the sauce you made. If you want to improve it hundred times better you should add ginger slices, white part of the spring onion,soy sauce and a slurry made with cornstarch. Its amazing and here in Peru we consider it the cheap tamarind sauce.

Ponzu sauce is my favorite, when I was a sushi chef we had a sauce called money sauce. It was ponzu and we would had highly concentrated dashi broth to it and soak cilantro stems/orange zest for 2 days then strain then we would add a bunch of fresh garlic and let it sit for awhile was the best sauce ever

The recipe we made was usually 1/6 sake 1/6 yuzu 1/6 mirin 1/6 dashi 2/6 soy sauce with the juice of one orange. Give all those a mix and just add the zest of 1 orange and 1 lemon and any extra cilantro stems that you have. Let that soak for a few days. "we did 2 but you can go for 5" after you finished steeping those just Strain it and add crushed or Grated garlic as much as you want AND you can keep that garlic in the sauce as long as you want

Your passion for experimenting with different grill techniques and seasoning really shines through! The ponzu marinated steak for a day sounds wonderful and unique. I'm definitely giving it a try on my next barbeque!

Really glad ponzu sauce is seeing more circulation, it comes and goes at my supermarkets so infrequently. Hopefully more people will jump on board and get demand up.

i’ve been watching guga since i first got in high school (i graduated 2022) and so much has happened since then and i still watch his videos just for comfort and reliability great vid 👌🏾

I love these videos so much. Just went back and watched a bunch in a row and I get tons of ideas.

I got the DualFire pellet smoker last week. Been happy with it so far and today I see it on a video from you on one. Glad to see that! Hope you'll do some more with it on the channel. Tip: smoke tube if you want to add stronger smoke flavor to short cooks. First thing I smoked were some 1/3 lb chopped steak burgers using Knotty Wood pellets (clean the fire pot before the next use because of the higher mineral content in these pellets).

That's my main thing when it comes to marinating cuts of meat. Because the cuts absorb so much, it's best to shoot for 24-48 hours. Any longer than that, and you're leaving your cuts to break down, and you could risk losing the juiciness and tenderness that you're looking for. Those char siu egg rolls have got to be a home run. Knowing how much my family loves pork shoulder, I gotta make that. Ponzu sauce works perfect in dipping sauces, try it if you haven't!

It would be cool to do a year end list where we see go over which steaks were better than the control!

Guga, you taught me how to cook the 'Guga Steak' a few years ago, and my family has loved me ever since!!! I haven't tried any of your experimental steaks yet, but this one has me interested!! I love your content. Love me a Guga Steak. Keep bringing the videos brother!!

Finally! Some veggies in the side dish! If Angel doesn't care for it, more for Leo and Guga! It's a win. Happy New Year!

Great video Guga! I have used Ponzu for years to marinate my beef for jerky! Amazing!

We have the same (Or atleast similar) thing here in the Netherlands regarding the side dish, we call them "Mini loempia's".. And yes, a sweet/sour sauce goes great with it.

Great video as always

Springroll wrappers are great for left overs. Corned beef, potato and cabbage spring rolls served with a mustard dipping sauce is lovely.

A bite of steak and rice with ponzu is my favorite. I was also at the grocery store after work today looking for ponzu and thinking that Guga should do a video with it and here it is

This is the best one I've seen all year!

It's been a while. I feel like it's time for another 1$, eye round steak challenge! There's beena bunch of tenderness experiments since the last one. Put them to the ultimate test!

I highly recommend you trying a Hungarian hot sauce (Europe's spiciest native cuisine by far BTW, where both the spice and the name "paprika" comes from), if you are planning on trying another spicy/ hot steak experiment! They have some crazy pipin' hot peppers... The "Haragos Pista" (Furious Steve) pepper paste is similar in power to Da Bomb, but tastes a bit better IMO.

awesome experiment!!

love you're vids

Guga, when I started watching your videos I was a well done type of person. The more I watched your stuff the better red meat started to look. My favorite now is around 140 internal temp. 135 and 145 are good. But 140 is the sweet spot for me.

Made this last night for my friends after watching the video. It was a hit!

Def gonna do this

Im just happy to see Angel eating some greens. Proud of you bro 👊

Guga I LOVE watching your videos but you should definitely try to experiment with chicken and pork sometime! I’m interested to see what some of the experiments would do to them !! 😊

Great as usual! Try the Sardinian MSGs, bottarga or pecorino sardo cheese.

I absolutely love gugas' side dishes. lol, every weekend i make a different one for me and the lady! Ill have to give this a go. I cannot believe thats all it takes to make sweet and siur sauce lol

Found ponzu steak while experimenting and glad you did!

I have an idea for a steak experiment. (Not sure if you've done it) You could cut the steak in slices, then get a crust on every side of each slice.

There is a person from a famous Japanese singing group that is said to swear by having ponzu on everything, like how Uncle Roger swears by MSG. Having tried it myself (on several meats) I agree in terms of how good it is. It has such an agreeable flavor that works with most savory foods in that it adds a citrusy sweet layer that wouldn't be found otherwise

I want to see guga make a ceviche. Every holiday my mom makes a peruvian ceviche she learned from an old lady in peru that runs in her family for decades its soo good

Love the videos hugs

I did the 1 day ponzu but you don't need to drench it in the sauce, just enough that it coats the steak and put it in a ziploc u use a lot of less. Also take it out of the ziploc and put it on a rack in the fridge in the morning to let it air dry out a bit before u cook it. Comes out perfect

Got to love guga. Soon as he says simple side dish you know he is about to pull out the entire kitchen.

Steak day tomorrow! Good timing Guga!

3:54 what a nice side dish idol guga,I want you to try the Filipino style fried spring rolls as a side dish it will please too with everyone 💜

Try this experiment with belacan(fermented shrimp paste) that's very popular in southeast asia

Try dry aging steak in garum (Roman fermented fish guts et al juices). The filtered and purified product doesn't have a fishy smell or not even a really nasty fish taste. But garum does provide some interesting umami flavors ... Modern fish sauces use some of the same processes - with their retained fishy flavor.

Guga, I used a store bought regular "Teriyaki" marinade, but added about 1/3 proportion of this same Kikkoman ponzu to cook chicken. It was the bomb. For everyone out there, if you want to use Ponzu, try adding it as 1/4 or 1/3 of some other teriyaki like marinade, or even a yuzu spicy marinade. It will enhance umami, sweetness and sourness all at once. So that's another way to use it.

Over here in the uk I believe the sweet and sour sauce is made using pineapple juice, sometimes orange, with ginger and spices (which are removed) and a cornstarch slurry

When shopping today, noticed my local supermarket just started stocking this exact Kikkoman Ponzu, and now Guga drops this... The universe is telling me something for sure...

In Alabama we marinade in Dales. The southern version of ponzu. Try it.

That bombastic side eye moment had me laughing hahaha. Bravo to the editor

"To be Healthy I just threw some green onions on top" must be the funniest thing he said this time.

Sounds great. Would love to see a tighter bandwidth on the marinating/aging. 1 Week was a little to long, but 24hrs vs 48 vs 72hrs?

I keep watching your videos every single time they come out even after watching for 4+ years because these side dishes are better than most main dishes lol

It'd be cool to see a dry age experiment using tea leaves (any kind, to be really experimental try with white tea leaves, green tea leaves, and black tea leaves). Could also try brewing a big pot of tea and then marinating a steak in it to see what that would do.

I need that on a t-shirt :D @7:40 "I never get tired of steaks..." I feel like we hear that phrase a lot from this channel, from different people

11:30 "why are you not so friendly today?" I detect some tension there 😂

Woot, I actually use that same brand of Ponzu sauce although there is another one I like as well. As some stores in my area have Miskan and not the Kinkoman. They are similar in flavor, but not exact.

The side dish looks like the best part!

They’re so adorable🤭😂

It's the difference between food being ready-to-serve or not. The uncooked meat in the marinade is "not ready-to-serve" in that it will still undergo a cooking process. You shouldn't do any of these things intentionally, but you _could_ theoretically put in contact with a contaminated surface/tool/hand in this stage because any contaminants it comes in contact with will still have a chance to be cooked out in the cooking process. The uncooked steaks marinading in the ponzu sauce would be considered not ready-to-serve since they're still going to be grilled later. On the other hand, once it has already been cooked and is ready-to-serve, it should avoid all contaminants at all costs because _those_ contaminants will not be removed since there is no further cooking process to cook them away. Leo's used fork would be considered a contaminant of a ready-to-serve product at this point. DISCLAIMER: If pathogens have penetrated the product or if the product has otherwise begun natural rot on its own, cooking will not magically make it safe to eat. Guga is very good at monitoring if things have gone past the point of spoilage, and has the proper tools and equipment to do extended marinading and aging well past the capabilities of the conventional home refrigerator. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.
