    Nothing like an amazing balsamic vinegar. Just like wine and steaks are perfect for each-other so is balsamic, but can it make any steak better? Today I try the best of the best, here are the results.

      Cynic that I am, I wonder if that 100 year old balsamic (or 50year, for that matter) is pure (I doubt it) or has it been "rehydrated" with some younger balsamic. 100 years - I'm guessing in a barrel? - is going to remove a LOT of water. So either the end result of a huge barrel is that bottle, or they introduced new balsamic every now and then.
      (I don't know how it works for wine, but it's probably the same principle. I don't think you can just forget a barrel and hope it gets better - too much oxygen is going to ruin it, so you either need increasingly smaller barrels, or add some filler.)
      (Not saying it doesn't get better, though. Just that I don't think it's purely 100 year old vinegar.)

    I usually use an aged balsamic vinegar when eating a high quality steak at home. I don't buy a 100 year old vinegar from Modena because that is prohibitively expensive for my purposes, but one that has enough complexity, viscosity, and sweet /tart balance. Usually in the $40-50 range for a bottle that lasts a year or so. I dip pieces of steak in the vinegar as I'm eating

    Hi Guga, I'm from Central Asia and here's another dry aging ingredient that our ancestors used (usually for lamb, beef or horsemeat). It's called kurt/qurut or kashk, basically dehydrated defatted salty yogurt, made to different solid forms (usually size of golf balls) you'll need to render it to powder. I think you'll find qurt in central asian food markets (mongol, kazakh, uzbek, afghani) in CA. They are made from cow, goat, lamb or camel milk. Worth a try 😅

    Here is the thing: you could not tell (from the video) if the Balsamic vinegars are so different after all. One was a mounted sauce and one was a butter.
    Usually it is a good trick to reduce less expensive vinegar until it is like a syrup. It doesn’t have the complexity like a well aged Balsamico - but its harsh acidity is almost gone, it’s sweetness is very pronounced and it cost a minuscule fraction of a product which is even 5 or 10 years aged.

    I'm with Angel, Filet Mignon is also my favorite. I can't have steak as often as I would like but when I do I go for the best available. The tenderness makes a huge difference and while some say it isn't as flavorful I never have an issue. It is almost like a subtle meaty taste compared to a Ribeye but when seasoned well it really brings out the hidden flavors. Every time I watch one of your videos it has me craving steak all over again.

    • @Samuri5hit84
      @Samuri5hit84 Před rokem +1

      Tenderloin or Filet Mignon, is a more consistent cut of meat than any other. Chances are you will not take a bite just to get some unchewable piece of cartilage you need to spit back out. The whole piece is edible and consistent. Whoever says it isn't good also is too poor to enjoy good steaks and probably buys 10$ two for one chuck steaks.
      I worked at a meat shop for a very long time, and I often took back meat without paying for it. I've tried pretty much every cut of meat and they are all great. Each one has an area it shines in, some prefer new york over rib eye, but it's all preference.
      My favorite steak was a T-Bone, since tenderloin was 45$ a pound and T-Bones were 26$ a pound it was the cheapest way to get tenderloin, and you get a fatty new york strip. Objectively I think T-Bones are the best steaks as they offer everything. Fat and Flavor on one side, perfect texture on the other, plus the big bone for more flavor.

    For those not aware, you can probably make something similar to this with a high quality balsamic reduction that wasn't aged, you just will end up with a flavor profile that reflects the input ingredients. Not everyone can afford the highest end stuff, but there are plenty who would spend $25 on a bottle of good reduction. The main difference is that obviously something which was dry aged will have the moisture removed without cooking it, while a reduction will have more flavors reflective of having been heated first, while some of the more volatile flavors will be muted. Both will still be bomb as hell though, it's just different levels of bomb as hell. I've currently got a Balsamic Vinegar of Modena reduction in my kitchen cabinet that I use occasionally for steaks like this and it pairs perfectly, an incredible balance of sweet and a bit of tang, which complements the salty fatty steak perfectly.

Além de pilotar as Ferraris nas country roads perto de Modena.

    Fermented Shrimp Paste.
    Also known as BAGOONG in the Philippines and most southeast asian countries.
    Commonly found in most asian supermarkets or well stocked asian sections in mainstream american supermarkets (ie not that hard to attain).
    Perhaps try initially as a compound butter?
    Or a dry aging method?
    Or a marinade when putting into sous vide?

Don't use too much. You don't need but a tsp or 2 depending on how much your making.

    My balsamic take on steak and other meats, a marinade that can be reduced to a sauce, which I call Magic Mud.
    Guga, I'd love for you to try it.
    2 parts balsamic vinegar
    2 parts milk
    1 part lemon juice
    1 part spicy brown mustard
    1 part bourbon (others tell me wine or beer also works)
    Whisk it all together and soak meat in it for anywhere from 1-24 hours. Works with any animal protein. At least, I haven't found one where it doesn't work. Leftover marinade can be used as a glaze or reduced to a sauce.
