  • We challenged chefs of three different levels - an amateur, a home cook and a professional chef - to make their versions of steak. And then we brought in a food scientist to review their work. Which steak was the best?

    About 3 years ago or so I bought a sous vide circulator and a cast iron skillet and it was one of the best decisions I made. I still have a ceramic bbq for the nice summer days with friends, but the results I get with sous vide are just amazing each and every single time. Thanks Guga!

    • @taylor7633
      @taylor7633 Před rokem +1

      A sous vide is like $50 or so, or $100 if you want a nicer one with bluetooth features. Not at all the hassle Ms. Scientist claimed. All you need is a bucket or other large container, water, a plastic bag, and a sous vide and you're good to go. You can find a sous vide at any superstore like Target or Wal Mart. It really is the only way to truly cook steak, it's so amazing.

    A few of the chefs that get featured in this series make me really happy. From the chefd featured in this episode, it's definitely Emily and Julie. I like Adriana, too, but the level 3 chefs rarely have that extra spark of personality that I love. Emily is such a mood, she's the most relatable out of everyone, and her iconic ketchup meme never dies. Julie gives me this vibe that she's this mom or grandma that loves her family, takes care of them super well and generally loves whatever she does. Seeing them just makes my day.

    I would really love it if instead of all chefs having different ingredients, each level chef would have identical ingredients and cooking utensils so that we could see more than just a "fancier" cut of meat or a vacuum sealer. It would be great to see innovation on the part of the chefs, like the amateur might just chop the jalapeno and throw it into the steak rub while the chef might roast it and turn it into a roasted jalapeno cream sauce.

    Everyone who is questioning the level 3 chef's 10 year claim, she's not lying. She is Venezuelan chef, Adriana Urbin. She started as a cook in a restaurant when she was 15 and now she's 26 so yeah that's 10 years for you.
    Edit: All the people replying on my comment talking about marinate and dry-aged either have no clue what marinating or dry-aging do or just like to criticize an award winning chef no good reason. Dry-aged steak has stronger flavor not because it's "dry" rather the concentration of beefy flavor by the muscle breaking down and losing water content. Dry rub or wet rub (marinating) does not make the muscle reverse back to original. Rather it adds more flavor from the marination. And also sous vide doesn't have render fat much because dry aging makes the fat much easier to render without much much heat and also she seared afterwards anyway which does the job perfect. So instead of trying to disparage an internationally recognized chef like that, maybe be more positive?
    Source: I dry-age and sous vide steaks on pretty regular basis.

Emily, I can see you becoming a level 2 Chef right before my eyes. As for the level 2 Chef can she be my mom? For real, can I adopt her? That steak looked like it smelled and tasted like heaven.
