Steak TENDERIZING Experiment!
Ойын-сауық
Check out Chef iQ smart meat thermometer pixelfy.me/ZOhaao Thanks Chef iQ for sponsoring this video.
Not many ingredients have changed the way I cook steaks. However after today's ginger experiment everything has changed. As you know ginger tastes amazing with steaks. But what I didn't know was that it can also tenderize steaks. Does it really work? Let's find out.

One thing about the takoyakis, when you flip it, you can flip it halfway and add more batter over the whole pan, continuously shoving the batter in which will make your takoyakis have less air pocket inside.

This is why I like marinating with ginger and lime--both have tenderizing effect and infuse a nice flavor (with some chili, garlic and coriander). You can easily over-marinate them though, particularly given that the tenderizing effects of ginger and lime compound (imagine if you used lime juice instead of water for your slurry).
Awesome tip, Guga! Thanks!

Gordon Ramsay is a terrible cook, has a potty mouth, and treats other people like trash. His distinct lack of character carries over to his skills as a chef. A person either has to be drunk or clueless to like Gordon Ramsay's food and personality. If you want to learn how to cook good food that people will want to eat, Chef Jean-Pierre is superior to Gordon Ramsay in every way that matters. Chef Jean-Pierre's cooking is very similar to how I've always prepared food (i.e. the right way to make food). Fair warning though: Chef Jean-Pierre loves butter a little bit too much, but is otherwise spot on in bringing good flavor and texture combinations into home cooking. Just scale back the amount of butter and his recipes are fine. I've been cooking a long time and had my cooking skills hammered into me by my relatives but I still pick up a few tips and tricks here and there on KZread. A good cook can take any recipe and evaluate it mentally without actually making it to determine exactly what it will taste like.

You've come a long way from cooking steaks at work! So cool to see you grow Guga! Pretty cool video, never thought about using ginger to tenderize
Very interesting. Will try this next Sunday!!!
Great to know! I learned from you how to make it perfect . And everyone loves it. Told my friends about you. Great content as always
I have made the “Guga Steak,” on numerous occasions, following your example of rotating the grates to keep flare-ups controlled and to develop a nice crust as opposed to Ponderosa style grill marks. Even bought your rub to add to the butter that I baste my steaks with after the simple SPG seasoning. And Fogo lump definitely makes a difference in the flavor!
Might have to try this for my dad, he hasn't had a steak in probably 3 years because all his teeth got bad and had to get them pulled, the dentist who worked on him did his job wrong (even the new dentist admitted that guy was wrong) and now my dad has no teeth. If the 24 hour is so tender you can basically swallow it right away, I feel like my dad would enjoy that
That sounds so nice, I'll definitely try this on some bavette steaks I have in my freezer tomorrow.
Did this on the 4 hour marinade last Saturday and it works like a dream, used a Ribeye and cut it in two so I had a direct comparison (Guga style) and the colour changed as in the video and the tenderness was much improved. Today I got me a Rump as the flavour is lovely but the pay off is it is a bit tougher so this ginger puree can work its magic for me. Another plus point is the very subtle ginger notes right in the background, like the boys in the video, they did not know what the marinade was so could not call it, but it adds a great extra layer to a beautiful steak. Cheers Guga for the lesson, gonna get a fat Pork chop and use the ginger on that, I reckon it will be pretty good.

@@kzizzles8329 I didn't like the ginger puree. I did it for 24 hours and the steak was mush. I tried it again for 1 hour and it made it slightly mush. It wasn't "tender" like you'd hope. It tasted pre-chewed. Like those weird shrimp that were sitting out too long at the buffet and they're all mushy with all the wrong texture. That and it was extra effort to do all the ginger stuff. No thanks. If you want them tender, do it the old fashioned way. Apply sea salt to both sides of the steak about an hour before cooking. The salt gets in and breaks down the chemical composition, leaving it tender, but not making it mushy. I do salt and the McCormick garlic and herb seasoning, then just a spalsh of Worcestershire to make a briny paste. The Worcestershire goes from an acidic brine flavor to a savory delight when you grill the steaks. I've tried it with and without Worcestershire. With is better. And I'm not a big fan of raw Worcestershire sauce. It tastes weird to me. Definitely try this instead of the ginger next time you feel adventurous. And it's a lot less work than fooling with ginger.

Tried this yesterday on four 1.75" thick strip steaks I marinated for about 6 hours. My results were not quite as good as this. The ginger slurry did seem to tenderize the meat some, but not so much that I felt it was worth the time. Also, the residual ginger flavor was FAR stronger than the video would lead you to believe. Out of the three of us eating yesterday, my wife didn't like it all (the ginger tasted too "green" she said), I thought it was OK, and my son thought it was the best steak he'd ever had. All that to say, your results may vary .

Great idea and a great vid guys! Thank you! I tried it yesterday on a t-bone steak. I added soy sauce and water to the ginger marinade and let it marinade for 8 hours. I then put it on a pellet grill/smoker at 325* till it hit 135-138. I had a control t-bone as well, both packaged together from a butcher.(they were a gift from some friends) It DEFINITLY made it more tender than the control! Actually a little too much for my taste. There was a little bit of tenderloin on that t-bone and it turned it into mush. Very unpleasant texture. lol Will be trying again for 4 hours with more soy sauce added to the marinade. Thank you for the idea to try something different! Keep up the great work on research and video quality! Have a great weekend!

An informative experiment. Am surprised the 24hr experiment didn't overpower the steaks w ginger flavor that's usually very powerful. Other related roots such as galangal, fresh turmeric also contain powerful enzymes, potentially providing more interesting flavors.

So I tried this at home for new years, four select grade NY strips & 6 choice grade sirloins. 22-23 hours in a ginger slurry marinade using two large freezer ziplock bags. Seasoned heavily- I use a wider range of seasonings than Guga, one thing I noticed was that the ginger overwhelmed the lemon pepper but it wasn't bad. Cooked using cast iron skillets on a stove top. One larger skillet using duck fat to cook up 3 sirloins at a time, one smaller one to cook up 2 strips at a time usingbeef tallow. Used a thermometer to measure internal temperature but juggling that many steaks at once was a challenge. I also made the potato side dish from the pepperoni oil video using a ghee based sauce that I then used to based the steaks with. Over all the results were very positive, everyone enjoyed the steaks. The ginger flavor was a little strong for one person but no real complaints.
You should try Garam Masala (Indian seasoning mix) - it has ginger among a bunch of other spices & herbs. I've used it for steaks multiple times and it is AMAZING.

I marinated eye of round steaks for 24 hr like this and I'm cooking them tonight Edit: that was the best steak I think I have ever had. You could serve it in a restaurant as a filet and you could go years I bet before anyone would notice.

Damn it was that flavorful and tender?? Could you still taste the beef or did the ginger overpower the steak?

@@bkb04g yeah, I couldn't believe it. I just lightly rinsed it off, and you can tell it's there but it more enhances the beef flavor than anything. The only issue I've found is that the edges can get mushy if you leave it in too long. For ribeye I just left it in for an hour or so and it was perfect.
Ginger is known to enhance the quality and flavor of meat intended to be grilled as steak. As far as I know, not a lot of chefs incorporate these kinds of spices into their own steaks. Mostly just salt and pepper. End of story.

Leo is born for this job. His descriptions are amazing!
I'm trying this TODAY!
In India ginger, garlic pastes and onion - either as paste or raw or fried are almost always added to the meat. They tenderize as well as compliment the meat flavour. However, we never use as much ginger as you did😂
Bruh Im vegitarian but guga keeps making me wanna change lol
Gotta try dis!!!
Being able to sear the meat after is important. I recently marinated a tri-tip with a ginger and soy sauce based marinade for between 12 and 24 hours. To make a long story short, I wound up having to try to sear in a family members under oven broiler drawer. Only one side got seared properly, and when slicing, I found that the other side was shredding and a bit soft. Everyone liked it, but I knew it was a bit off. The first time I marinated with the same recipe, I smoked the tri-tip a couple hours on my Webber 22” and then finished up with a good sear, did not have the same issue.
One caveat about the incredible side dish, it’s not takoyaki. The “tako” literally means octopus, so no octopus = not takoyaki. Also, the springiness and chewiness is part of the charm, so I can’t get behind the steak filling at all. I am DEFINITELY doing the ginger, though.
I died a little inside the way he made that takoyaki... But the ginger experiment looked amazing. I'm not much of a cook but I kinda want to buy a steak and try it. I'd love to see you try this with eye round.

There’s a reason why people put octopus inside. The filling inside takoyaki must be chewy instead of something soft.

@@kkim5000just fyi in japan they use a bunch of fillings (like cheese, sausage, etc) and still call it takoyaki so it isn't really a filling issue 😂
wow crazy. i think the first time a tenderizing experiment has improved the streak the more it was used in a guga vid
I love your twist on takoyaki balls!!!!My dream is to have a food truck and I love fusion. Keep it up!! Loving it!
It's heartwarming to see something which we Indians take for granted getting discovered and appreciated by a foreigner!

Fellow Indian here. This is why this particular experiment might be my favorite of all the tenderizing experiments. Then again, it could also be because they didn’t use an eye round for this
That’s crazy to think the ginger does not overpower the steak, especially how strong ginger is on its own

I'm sure it's because ginger is such a good compliment to beef, so you don't taste anything off about it.
Yep, we do Guga steaks that have been tenderized in cashew yogurt (tenderized) for a week. Seasoned like a Guga steak, cooked on an SnS, and watched for doneness with Meater thermometers. Even my most picky eater (son) loves Guga steaks.
I’m excited to see what this would do to eye round
Wow! 🤩 Unexpected result
Another one of guga's best👌
Can't wait to try this out on my next charcoal grilled steak!! 🥩 I love ginger and i love steak. Sounds like a match made in heaven.
Going to my buddys house Friday and New Yorks are dinner. Thanks definitely gonna try this out!
I sprinkle fresh grated ginger on top of pulled pork and it is awesome!
Great success!
There are very few KZreadrs I follow seriously. And, you’re one of them.
Now this one I would try
Amazing video as always. What cut of steak did you use in this video?
Perfect vid preview. I see ginger, I click the vid. I love that stuff.
I need to try this, ginger is my go to!
I expected this to be very 'sharp' and extremely tasting like ginger. Definitely going to try this too.
Guga, please try it with the eye round too, can't wait to see it!
