Attempting to cook the perfect steak with James May
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 05. 2021
- We were all missing a bit of pub grub, so James decided to teach Lucy a recipe from his new cook book. Today's mission will be a couple of steaks, but Lucy also has a job for James on the side, her own version of peppercorn sauce!

I'm starting to honestly think that Sir. James May is getting to the age he always has been. And it is beautiful.
Dr. James May
Dame James May
CEO. James May
M'Lord, James May
Pope James May
Who knew foodtribe can make James May become the father figure that we never knew we wanted to see . 😂
And to think that his never been a father
He's more avuncular, to be fair, but very warm-hearted indeed with Lucy, Rachel, etc
Who knew FoodTribe can make James May become the father figure that we never knew we _never_ wanted to see.
It occurred to me too while watching this that James is quite fatherly in this one.
I thought it was his daughter, but i don't remember Clarkson ever mentioning it.
James May has to be the most relatable celebrity I've ever seen. Having a pint with him would probably be a blast.
He's brilliant with Lucy they work extremely well together in front of the camera they should do more together
Yes Lucy is very charismatic and contributes a lot
@@casualxxgamerxx9662 was that sarcasm
you sure, two blokes running a cooking show ? seems a touch farfetched
James may is slowly turning Lucy into a younger, female version of himself
Who is she?
@@trollop_7 She's the Marketing Director (I believe) for DriveTribe/FoodTribe.
*slowly*
@@marshupiiras I see what you did there...
yes, a pain in the neck, hear what she says and see her and I just ask, Why ?
I’d love to see a video of Lucy and James doing something else like building a garden shed lol 😂
What could possibly go wrong?
With that editing, it surely would be funny!
And then Jeremy shows up with a jet engine
This is foodtribe so maybe a brick bbq or a pizza oven
They’d succeed magnificently as long as Jeremy and Hammond aren’t involved.
The father daughter chemistry of two people who are not father and daughter.
I love the new edit style! over exaggerated sound effects, meme cuts, and occasional music. Glad to see James embracing the present of video editing instead of leaving it standard.
I feel you brother.
Yes the editing cracks me up!!!
+1
I like how mike just emerges from the dark and disappears with the steak
Steak What Steak
Much better when he is behind a camera.
And James tries to charge him for it 😂
"That'll be £5.99" 😂
Without knife and fork, I'm just imagining a hungry Mike holding an entire steak in his hand and tearing it up with his mouth
I like how they just forget about the camera during the video and just talk. I find that somehow likeable and real. Also not editing out when something goes wrong.
That was the Top Gear magic which a lot of youtubers use these days.
Biggest crime here was not pouring the steak juice back over the cooked steak, I felt a single tear roll down my cheek
You weren't crying, you were basting your cheek
Not as many tears as the steak felt as she was being slaughtered Im sure....
@@theyellowlightsaber3193 Cool story bro want to tell it again?
@@theyellowlightsaber3193 is this some hippie BS? Cows are meant to be eaten. They are NOT people.
Have these people never heard of a 'de glace'? You make the sauce in the pan after you've taken the steak out to rest. Why waste all those lovely flavours?
this is a very tender tandem, they step around each other with great care and respect. I haven't seen anything like it before that would work, but this does.
Not the duo we asked for, but the duo we needed.
It’s like a niece and her eccentric yet lovable uncle
Time maketh the duo
They are like the British version of Conan and Sona.
ok batman
James May: "I hardly ever eat red meat." Also James May: "yes i will in fact taste and indeed swallow pureed raw beef, Bovril and brick." A man of peculiar tastes...
That was the nastiest thing I had ever seen.
To be fair he didn’t like it...
@@davesmith1921 yes, but it was the most american thing done in bri'sh television
Beef and brick, it’s not gone well!
This guy knowing so much about cooking and still having an episode dedicated to suggar sandwiches humbles me in a way previosly unknown.
We need more Lucy and James cooking. This is the combo we didn’t know we needed
So proud of Lucy for becoming more comfortable on camera!! What a joy and honour to co-host with James May.
yes, a pain in the neck, hear what she says and see her and I just ask, Why ?
@@kimblewt shut up man pls
Comfortable… yeah that’s the word… sure
Only foodtribe would put bloopers at the beginning haha
The whole things a blooper. XDDD
Lucy knows a lot about food, she just doesn't like any of it.
The lack of profesionalism is what makes these videos absolutely brilliant!
Oh and Lucy and Jame's banter of course :)
1:03 “Lucy doesn’t like cheese. See, you’d’ve starved in the 70s.”
what self respecting brit doesn't like cheese?
@@burnzy3210 I thought everyone liked it, just some people struggle to digest it.
@@burnzy3210 Me the stuff is vile, why anyone would want to eat congealed off milk is beyond me...
@Fresh N Makes me vom in glorious technicolour.
@@burnzy3210 I''m 26 and hate cheese unless it's melted.
Cheers to the editor. You know what we are here for :D
"N O C H E E S E ?"
I was half expecting them to add the clip of wallace going "No cheese gromit!"
@@KartsAgainstHumanity I was half expecting the clip where he says "Not even Wensleydale?"
Wot no cheese (Chad)
@@galahad6300 cracking cheese Gromit
*slam*
Cheese
Whoever does the editing, with the sounds and cutaway, you deserve a raise. The subtle touches are masterfully done.
Please we need a video of James, Jeremy, and Richard cooking the exact same thing all while talking to each other in the wonderful way they do.
James: the pan should be smoking hot
Lucy: how do you know?
James: I don't know.
Some Alton Brown tidbits about panfrying steak: use a cast iron or carbon steel pan, because Teflon non-stick pans can't take more than 475-500 deg. F before the Teflon starts to break down and offgas some nasty fumes. Once you are heating your cast iron or carbon steel pan, you can use a IR thermometer to get the temp where you need.
@Shutbyotch smart
@@spacechimp3199 Smart? More like common sense hahahahaha
a cast iron pan might be recommended...
Watching James try and strongarm the Jack Daniel's open like a cork is an overlooked bit of comedy.
I've had a horrible week at work. Very hectic. I realized when the video was over, this was the calmest 20 minutes of my week. Thank you.
Lucy seems to be like Jame's adopted daughter. A very cool bond and chemistry the two of them have. It's so wholesome to watch.
James is such a national treasure - could watch content with him literally all day
Seeing Lucy's back while she speaks is so funny. It's like she is a criminal speaking on the news or something
She DID confess disliking cheese, to be fair
yes, a pain in the neck, hear what she says and see her and I just ask, Why ?
@@kimblewt you really hate Lucy eh? See you in every other comments. With the same comment.
She is getting loads better in front of the camera, it's nice to see her grow.
* Knife sounds*
Looks amazing James May!! Growing up watching Top Gear , now I'm 30years old and still a big fan of James May!! 🇲🇾

That was epic. 😂😂😂 9:50

@@kimblewt get help
James & Lucy back at it again 🔥🔥🔥
I believe the sauce was less than satisfactory because, at its essence, a peppercorn sauce is a PAN sauce.
The steaks are sautéed in the pan. The steaks are removed, then the pan is deglazed with the alcohol. The peppercorns and (much less) cream are added, then reduced.
That being said, I loved the banter between James and Lucy (which, I suspect, is the point of the show).
James could legit be a legendary asmr artist, his soft spoken way of talking simply puts you to sleep
17:48 😂 not sure why, but I found it funny - Mike appears from the darkness, grabs the plate, then disappeared back into the darkness.
Would love to see a video of James and Lucy trying different things with the peppercorn sauce to see what works
Starting with Spam of course.
Perhaps they could start by cooking a decent peppercorn sauce..
This is just like watching a father teach his daughter about cooking steak. How interesting.
6:09 "cheese" one of James may's most iconic quotes
The editing in these videos have reached peak perfection
How can you not love James May, just a joy to watch and listen to. Lucy is great too.
James is usually the goofy one, Lucy well played. Getting dad and daughter vibes here.
Thank you James and Lucy. What a time to be alive.
I like James May cause he's just a bloke you'd meet in the shop giving advice to a stranger about salt.
I laughed reading this
I swear Lucy is my three year old picky eater niece who just never grew out of it 😂
I'm a bit like her when it comes to food... I do love cheese though.
yes, a pain in the neck, hear what she says and see her and I just ask, Why ?
@@kimblewt I agree.
Haha Lucy is awesome. You did well Lucy. Love James too. Champions
I love how Lucy puts herself outside of her comfort zone for us xD Love videos of you pair :)
4:04 "you know a lot, really. You just pretend you don't." .... Top gear in a nutshell
This is like grandpa cooking with granddaughter I love it!
That's the best impression of a pepper grinder I've every heard. Bravo, Mr. May!
James and Lucy are a perfect combo 😂
James and Lucy's relationship is precious
yes, a pain in the neck, hear what she says and see her and I just ask, Why ?
"Today Mr James May is in my kicthen holding me hostage, please do send help I need it desperately." - what lucy said in my head
👍👍👍 🌲🌳🌲 Lucy's a great foil for James. They both seem happy. The editing is /chef's kiss.
Lucy is back!! Brilliant. I so miss your vids Lucy, oh yeah, and James ... 🙂 Thanks you lot for making me smile
I love the book. It's given me fresh ideas on foods I have normally made as well as stuff I've never made before.
Thanks James and Lucy for another cooking lesson I’m enjoying your company you both work well together 🙏
I Like when james read short words " 4 Tabs and tisp of sugar" 🤣🤣
"James May is in my Kitchen" words to terrify even the most hardened of people... ;) lol
You guys should really do more of these. I enjoy them.
James showing that cooking, can be fun!
Lucy has a really nice kitchen for someone who cooks like Lucy.
When I first started watching this channel, I thought Lucy was James daughter.. now that I've watched many episodes.. I'm convinced Lucy is James daughter 🤔
Lol, James' love child or something. He has been a bachelor his whole life.
@@David-ud9ju ??? he’s been in a relationship since like 2000 but has stated many times in interviews he doesn’t want children
@@David-ud9ju He's been married since forever wat
Haggis and peppercorn sauce absolutely works and I normally make some when I have Haggis.
"Put the extractor fan on" ... "No, it's too loud". Later, Lucy's family shiver in the kitchen with all the windows open 😆
James may really is a treasure ❤️
You both work so well together it's lovely to see
i like Lucy i wish Lucy all the very best of luck in whatever she undertakes
Haggis and Peppercorn sauce is a staple up here. My own local does it on chips. The bite of the peppercorns with the spiciness of the haggis is an unreal combination.
This is so cool to watch. Relaxing and fun. Keep it up chaps.
Put butter in a pan and saute mushrooms and onions, deglaze with a dark beer and several splashes of Worcestershire sauce.
I always sear and then smoke my steaks in a Weber kettle.
I'm telling you, you take a beautiful steak cooked over a wood fire ( I prefer Mesquite) and it will be one of the best steaks you've ever had.
Add the mushroom and onion topping and it's fire!!
Lucy and James! The ultimate dream team! Cooking up a storm! Gotta love it.
James May's description of the 70's food was basically the 90's food in Sri Lanka. Is this just us or do any other countries agree?
Me: smokes one
James: *"hello potheads"*
I love their onscreen chemistry!
This Duo is the next best thing since Hammond, Clarkson and May.
don't forget Clarkson and Kaleb duo 😂
@@sayzwan Yeah.
Mr. James May??
James be like - "I'm not used to such niceness especially from my colleagues."
Well I mean with hammond and Clarkson since 2002 if I'm correct it must be the best feeling but he probably knows the jokes on top gear and the grand tour meant nothing
I love this duo
a legendary duo
I love the idea James knows about every single meme he's ever been.
I love seeing the Lucy and James content
Culinary tradition actually marks pork as white meat, because it's pale in colour and gets lighter when cooked, whereas red meats are dark and get darker when cooked. However, the USDA classifies any meat that comes from a mammal as red meat. Even rabbit, which is distinctly white.
Brilliant. The steak cooking looked perfect. And the sauce was brilliant, will definitely give it a try.
Oh Lord this is glorious, the editing is immaculate and the talents are amazing
The incorporation of memeology in food tribe videos is sublime. Well done.
This is extremely wholesome! 😊
I LOVE this!
bless lucy you handling it better than any of us watching loool
Do 1 steak at a time in the pan as 2 just cooled the pan down too fast hence why they looked gray. Forgot to render the fat as well.
Thoughts on using griddle pan, I prefer flat bottom. Lines are for bbq
@@Elldeeve I agree, don't use a griddle pan for steaks. It just decreases the sear area and you should want to get as much sear on there as possible. Also I don't see how oiling the steak instead of the pan helps at all especially with putting the salt on after the oil.
@@GC-ps9mn I think youll be more spot on with the amount of oil.Less cleaning and less wasted oil.
The chemistry between the hosts is quite fun on this and the other channels. Thank you for sharing.
Top tips: Dry the steak with a towel before oiling. It will get a better sear. Also, use a cast iron pan. The thermal mass prevents the uneven cooking you saw here.
The two work great together!
It still amazes me that James May has essentially become the host of a meme food channel. These reverbed effects and zooms really seal the deal.
Hello James, if you want to test a pan to make sure it's ready for a steak, take a tiny amount of water and if it evaporates straight away on contact with the pan it's ready!
Great teamwork and fun to watch.
Thank you for this video and the white peppercorn sauce idea.
I just made it with some minor alterations for a pork chop and its absolutely amazing. I'll be saving the rest and buying a steak tomorrow. Pretty hyped, such a delicious and simple sauce.
When are we going to see a James May / Brad Leone mashup??? C’mon! It’ll be GOLD!
When Lucy said salt and pepper the steak, I actually said out loud, "not pepper, pepper burns during the sear". I am so glad James corrected her, and so I might just buy his book.
JD-"Its what I drink" I like Lucy even more now.
😆watching this while eating and Gollum almost made me choked. I love the edits and inserts. Hilarious!😆🤣
