What is up everyone. The proper way to cook a frozen steak is the traditional way. NOT REVERSE SEAR. If you reverse, the steak will defrost and loose the purpose of being frozen in the first place (which is edge to edge doneness). That's how everyone that says cooking a frozen steak does! So I tested it out against reverse sear method. If you are commenting that they should be cook the same, its because you are not familiar with how others cook a frozen steak. And as you saw the results by you not knowing how, you are doing it the RIGHT WAY! Frozen steaks belong in the FREEZER!

If you do that, what is the purpose of cooking a frozen steak? The reason you cook a steak frozen is to get edge to edge doneness. Cooking it reverse sear will thaw out the steak making this experiment invalid for everyone that says cooking a steak froze is better than a thawed steak.

@ExaltedDuck

6 жыл бұрын

Guga did it tight. In terms of time and effort, reverse sear sear is pretty much the same as traditional sear. In terms of quality of output reverse sear is better than traditional sear. I think he's done that test before so no need to repeat it. It might have been interesting to see if frozen vs non frozen traditional sear would make much difference but in the end if reverse seared fresh steak is better than both, it doesn't matter.

Guga Foods i only want to point out that, in this case, to have a fair comparison between different starting steaks you should use the same method of cooking or at least say why you choose a different one. I think this is the point a lot of comments are about, a more "scientific" approach. Anyway thanks for your videos :)

@Impostleable

You're missing the point. Even if that's the method usually used for frozen steaks, using two different methods for two different steaks means you don't know what is the reason for the results. Is it the cooking method that made it taste like X? Or is it the fact that is was frozen? You don't know. It's basic experiment design. Change ONE variable.. that way you know its the the ONE change that made A different from B.

Great job guys. Love watching your videos. Like the mythbusters of steak! You guys are great, keep it up!

"Number A " So wrong , but so right at the same time,LOL, Awesome vid as always.

Hey, Guga my man, the reason the seasoning stuck to the frozen steak is because salt lowers the freezing point of water quite a bit. We use salt treatment here in the north east U.S. to de-ice roads. As soon as that salt hits the meat you get a layer of below-standard-freezing-temp but now liquid water gluing the seasoning down. And water has a massive amount of heat capacitance, making it an amazing insulator, which is why you should always let steak come up to room temperature before cooking. It really helps even cooking. In fact, I would be willing to bet that placing a steak in a slow, gentle warmer for a few hours before bringing it to actual safe cooking temps would produce a more consistent-throughout cooked steak. I would love to see you try it, might make a good video!

I love how when it's just Guga and Angel, Guga stops angel from eating more, but with the son there, Angel and Dylan just devoured that steak.

Thx for this experiment! It's useful for all of us! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Haha so nice to see you with your son. Thanks for a great video

God bless you guys! Beautiful family and great video.

i completely agree with you, I prefer the fresh reverse sear method too. I find Cooking frozen steak also usually makes it more watery than usual, which dilutes the flavor of the meat.

Hey Guga. You cooked it Sous Vide, not on the grill. Let's get thawed in a comparison as well. Also, how about comparing various seasonings in a heads-up? I'd love to see a tournament-style elimination of the best seasonings for steaks on the grill. Rosemary, thyme, basil, oregano, sage, dill, etc. Might be cool to see one for different salt types (himalayan salt, bog salt, mineral salt, sea salt, hickory smoked salt, mesquite smoked salt, whiskey salt). And maybe also which peppers are best (meco chipotle, morita chipotle, cayenne, paprika, smoked hungarian paprika, putting pepper in a marinade, putting pepper before cooking, putting pepper after cooking). I'd love to see what you can come up with. Good luck.

Hell Yeah i’m excited!! 😂

Guga you are the best man, love your videos and the whole concept behind them...one question because it's still a bit unclear to me. If I have a fresh steak or an unfrozen steak (unfrozen in the fridge over 24 hrs...I know I know hehehe), so both in room temperature and I season them with salt....how long do I keep them seasoned before I put them on the fire...and do I keep them out or putting them back in the fridge?

Thank youi needed this to erase my doubts.

PitmasterX did a similar test, he took a ''frozen'' (-1,5C) A cold steak and a room temp steak, the colder steaks needed a tiny bit longer, but the end result was that the frozen and cold steak was more juicy and tender, and they weren't as overcooked on the edges as the room temp.

I would like to see a comparison of a steak that has been frozen, then slow thawed, vs a fresh steak. I think the results will show which was frozen, even though many argue that. But, let’s find out (same cooking method)😁 BTW, cool music on this one !

@Guga I was wondering how come you're not using the Sous Vide method on this channel at all ? :/ Do you consider grilling a steak a superior way to do it ?

The colour is gorgeous.

Hi Guga, can you please list the music you used at around 0:30 minutes. It sounds really nice and I'm wondering if the instrumental has a name. That said, very nice video, as always. Keep up the good work!

In Sweden, we have a dish called "tjälknöl", made from frozen steak. Its cooked over long time in a low owen in one big piece, without seasoning. After done, you put the meat in a container with sauce for a few days in the frigde, before eating. The dish came from before modern things such as fridges, central heating etcetera. It was a way to handle meat in winter, when there was constantly sub zero outside. Right done, it can be really, really good and very different from a normal steak.

I always thaw my steak before throwing it on the grill. Id be curious if that makes a difference

Howdy from Canada ! Love your videos what about a frozen steak ie cowboy steaks thawed x 48 hours then cooked? I’ve been bbqing them for years and love them!!

Frozen is good for pan sear and finish in the oven high heat. Some oil in pan high heat get nice crust on the outside and because its frozen its not cooked deep just nice crust then finish in over 6 to 10 minutes depending on your preference.

I think Angel or your son should be added to the judging panel from now on!

What if you souvide a steak then flash freeze it on the surface and then sear it?

Does it make a different cooking a frozen steak compared to a steak that was frozen and then thawed out?

The difference is the timing at which you put on the seasoning. For the frozen steak u need to sear it first and then put the seasoning on it and after seasoning u put it on indirect heat. Because on searing the seasoning gets burned/loses a lot so it cant penetrate the meat if the seasoning has been seared as well right away. Try seasoning after searing the frozen steak not before.

Why would you not unfreeze it first? Oh and if my fresh steak wont be cooked, i freeze it, does it damage the flavor or quality even if i unfreeze it?

A lot of my steaks I cook from frozen. Except for big expensive cuts. I like to buy eye of rounds or chuck rounds in those six steak packs if I’m trying to save money, freeze them, and cook by pan searing and finished in the oven. What are usually tough pieces of meat, I find the freezing, pan searing, and oven method makes them juicy, tasty, and tender.

Can you make a “very fresh steak” versus a regular wet aged one? I’ve cooked some veal tenderloin that was not aged at all, as in fresh off the slaughter house, and it was really chewy! But when I froze another piece, and defrosted it a few days later it was nice and tender. I’m very curious about this.
