This is probably your best looking side dish ever! It’s killing me. But c’mon Guga, you gotta grate your own mozzarella. Don’t use that plastic cheese in a bag. What would Chef John say? 😂

Something to note about that baschemel. The general rule in how to make it is equal parts fat/oil- flour then add milk as desired. I bring this up because Guga could have used the rendered bacon fat as a base instead of the butter for maximum flavor. So the side dish could have been even better.

Guga - I watched you make bacon and have been making it ever since. One day I used rosemary salt for the brine and it completely changed the flavour - it was sweeter. Then I used umami salt for the brine and it made the best burger bacon I’ve ever tasted. So my request is for you to bacon again, but brine with flavoured salts and see what you think!

I made the stuffed shells, and oh man, hats off to Guga!! This is one of the best dishes I have made! I also swapped out the Béchamel sauce with a Mornay sauce using Jarlsberg. I seriously feel this dish would deserve a Michelin Star if a single serving could be plated with presentation.

Been waiting for this one for over 2 years thank you!

What about blend the ramen + the seasoning into powder, add little water just to make a paste and dry-age a bone-in ribeye roast with it?

Guga that side dish with the pasta shell, bacon, and cheese looks so freak'n good it had my mouth watering. I will most definitely have to make it, so here's my thanks ahead of time for sharing that recipe🙏

Thanks for putting the control in the middle! You are truly committed to excellence, and the variety is proof!

Hi guga! Great video as always. Can you try to dry age an expensive steak inside a larger piece of cheaper meat? Maybe you can save the expensive piece of meat from needing to trim it down

Gotta thank this channel for motivating me to have an outrageously great night out at a Brazilian steakhouse. As if all you can eat steak, including picanha, wasn't enough, I paid extra to have a dry aged tomahawk and waygu ribeye added for the table. And yeah, after all that, dinner was expensive, but as a special night out, it was worth it. Oh, and yeah, I've been doing a lot of sous vide as well, complete with flame thrower for finishing. I doubt I'm doing as well as Guga, but it's still great results.

Hi Guga, I love your videos - from both channels! I had an idea for a future video that stems from a new issue in my family. My spouse has recently been diagnosed with a degenerative disease and can only take very light quantities of Sodium each day (less than 1500 MG). Since steaks need lots of salt to bring out the best flavors, I wonder if you knew ways to cook flavorful steaks with minimal use of salt ? Anyways, I look forward to other viewers' crazy new ideas! :)

Your comical approach to “removing” the fat in the side dish with the introduction of bacon-and subsequent removal of the liquified bacon fat-cracks me up. You basically added all the fat back with the cheese and sour cream. 😂

Must admit I spend more time watching your gugafoods channel but I am really starting to dig into this channel...thanks for these videos man!!

I am a big fan of beef. BUT, I am also a big fan of wild game. I would love to see you do something with stuff like buffalo/bison, or good old Midwest whitetail deer. I know they're both very lean meats, but the flavor is amazing without a bunch of fat.

And yes I'll repeat those requests often. ;)

I love how when Angel finds the control "THAT'S A GUGA STEAK!!"

A little tip from an Italian guy! In the besciamella sauce you should put nutmeg with black pepper and salt! Taste it, it adds more flavour! Good job though!

Suggestion for Guga: To make some tender steaks try using papaya, just like you did with the pineapple. Papaya contains the enzyme papain that works in a similar but different manner than bromaline in pineapple. Be careful though, papain breaks down at 60 to 70 degree Celsius so it might have trouble in the sous vide (but bromaline is even more sensitive to heat). In my own experiment even after 12 hours the steak hadn't disintegrated like your pineapple steak, but it didn't penetrate as deeply so keep that in mind. Papaya has been use since long before Europeans in the Americas so it has a long history of being amazing.

Some of the experiments don't come out that good, but the side dishes are always fantastic. Guga knows what flavor is all about.

I recommend trying this experiment again, but with Maruchan Ramen's Roast Beef seasoning, which is, in my humble opinion, vastly superior to standard Beef Ramen seasoning. I can only ever find it online these days, but it's such a different experience, on a whole other level than all of the other ramen flavors.

I used Ramen Shrimp seasoning to make Ice Cream. Just cut sugar by half. Use standard Custard recipe reduce sugar and then put in shrimp powder.

Béchamel & pasta (especially fresh pasta) is an ethereal combo. One of my favorites of all time. My family requires that I make lasagna every Christmas, I use the classic method of béchamel rather than ricotta. I crave it all the time but it takes too much effort to make it for anything but an occasion.

Papa John's has a seasoning packet that is green and it usually gets delivered with a thin crust pizza. Those season packets have great flavor to them and I am curious how it would taste on a Guga steak. I think you should try it.

Whoa, I'm actually planning on making steak and ramen (yes, together) one of my weeknight specialties so good call!

@guga for the stuffed shells put the filling into a gallon Ziploc and cut the corner off. Use it as a piping bag to fill the shells. So much less time and frustration.

I'm glad you used the chicken seasoning too, I was hoping you would, though I understand why most people suggested the beef. Edit to add: now I'd like to see you try it with the shrimp ramen seasoning, that would be interesting.

I'm watching you guys for a while now. And I'm falling in love with this experiments! So I'm curious. I'm from Germany and we got something here that's called "beef jerky".

Can you try mixing different Ramen seasoning with butter for steak basing?

actually tried the fire noodle ones but in the pink version with "carbonara" and even though it was spicy it tasted really good and not nearly as spicy as the red 2x spicy version.

This is one of my favorites: Cook a beef roast or steak to rare, slice it thin and refrigerate. Cook some Ramen as per the package and add some cold slices just after Ramen is done. Wait a minute or two and dig in. The hot soup warms the meat and brings it up to about medium rare. So delicious.
