Guga: "Don't mess with the steak!" Also Guga: "I dry aged this steak for a decade in Velveeta cheese!"

[@Buddha_the_Pug]

🤣

[@Butterandbacon]

Also also Guga: “While we’re waiting, it gave me plenty of time to make a delicious side dish.”

[@cobat5841]

I dry aged this steak for a decade in crushed infinity stones

That chicken's gonna demonetize you Guga! XD

i should call her...

[@lulutango]

Well, men of culture....😂

[@-_-_-_-_-ImGigs-_-_-_-_-_-_-_]

everything reminds me of her :(

[@jondilly1974]

The irony of Guga saying “don’t mess with steak” is monumental with his track record

[@zes3813]

no such thing as not messx or etc, cepuxuax, outx any nmw s perfx

[@dokuujin1851]

Max really likes his accordions lmao. I love that Guga told them the accordion pork belly was Max, but he already KNEW the steak was gonna be awful so kept Max's name out of it. LUL

[@drewt1717]

Ngl I would eat that steak and smile

[@turkeyman631]

Well, actually it was the other way around lol

[@LynnLyns]

It depends on the people ngl. I don't really like Medium Rare steak, i prefer it well done so that steak look delicious for me.

[@andrewcutler1380]

I… don’t want to say what the chicken thumbnail reminds me of 😳

[@Tier5078]

Guga knows what he’s doing with the thumbnail 😂🙌🏻

[@Nathan_Coley]

Of course he does 😂🤣

[@Kill2winFF.]

Facts

[@incredible5587]

😁😁🤣🤣

[@videostash413]

dumb

[@DigitalIP]

glad i wasnt the only one that noticed it.. yikes

[@RicardoSanchez-es5wl]

The cubed chicken technique actually makes perfect sense: you get more flavor because you have more surface area with seasoning, AND it cooks faster and more evenly

[@Evitaschannel]

Do you maybe have the link to the original vid?

[@lordfrostdraken]

Well Guga, I actually cooked the Hedgehog chicken just like you showed in the video. It was a smashing hit, I even made extra for leftovers and there were no bits left over. It was so tender, crispy, savory and sweet. It was like the best asian style chicken I have ever had the privilege of cooking. I had a blast making it and my family actually thinks I’m a good cook now XD. You are the GOAT, please keep up the amazing work! I can’t wait to try cooking it again, but this time with orange sauce instead.

[@Dominikmj]

The unique cut for the steak is usually used in Korean BBQ for short ribs. As short ribs are rather tough, but also have a lot of connective tissue, it works quite well (also it is marinated). If some people doing this with picanha - it is their own fault...🤦🏿‍♂

[@drewt1717]

Agree! 💯

[@cthomas025]

Yeah I definitely thought he picked the wrong cut for that.

[@TheDeathLove]

The cut was shown by max​@@cthomas025

[@BrendonHuor]

Gyukaku does this with harami (skirt steak) in a miso marinade, that has mirin in it. The sweet, salty glaze of the miso and mirin once it caramelizes is what makes it 👌🏼 I think guga picked the wrong cut AND seasoning. If he had done a marinade that had sugars that would caramelize on the crust, it would have been much better.

[@MrBigsmallguy]

To make angel appreciate chicken and veggies in a single dish is quite the accomplishment

[@CarlosHuiskens]

Rare footage of Leo being flabbergasted that Chicken can actually taste amazing if properly prepared and cooked.

[@Michael_Braddy]

It is definitely counter intuitive. Most people overcook the heck out of chicken.

[@Mrtheunnameable]

The toppings would taste good on anything.

[@ADADEL1]

@@MrtheunnameablePretty much. I've made that one before and I'm looking for excuses to use that sauce on anything.

[@Mrtheunnameable]

@@ADADEL1 I think the maple flavour would go better with pork than chicken.

[@ADADEL1]

@@MrtheunnameableThe original recipe called for either maple syrup or honey. I used honey and it worked really well.

[@paul_warner]

Guga finally found out how to make eye round tender and they just glossed right over it!!

[@Jonathan-A.C.]

Tbf, it’s not so much just making the meat itself like that, it’s more that they’re just eating such small portions

[@taxationistheft9441]

Guga: okay everyone, this dish is so easy anybody can make it. We'll start with this beautiful Martian Wagyu Diamond Score 23. Now this is a breed of Martian Wagyu, but it was actually raised on Jupiter. --Just kidding. Even though Guga is always using crazy meat, his technique scales. A Choice Guga Steak with dry brine and rotating grate is equal to just slapping prime on the grill.

[@videostash413]

wow, how many weeks did it take you to write that?

[@Alphacheesehunter]

Y'all should try some plutonian pheasant.

[@totalredeem44]

I like how Leo ROASTED Guga about being old as a clin d'oeuil to the last time when Guga joked about him liking BIG MEAT, it was funny AF

[@esco.digital3746]

8:36 i love the synchronized approval

[@KillerCornMuffin]

10:51 said in a video of exclusively things that ain't broke but were "fixed." Said on a channel dedicated to "fixing" food that ain't broke.

[@_ak._]

I can’t imagine a video without guga rushing to say ‘For seasoning, I chose to go with a good amount of salt followed by fresh ground black pepper.’

[@laurihellman5249]

and garlic powder.

[@simonmarcu01]

​@@laurihellman5249galic powder only comes on some dishes, depending on the quality of the meat or what he makes.

[@RyanPerkins-lm7cb]

I have an idea for you to try with the pork belly if you would be interested! Do the prep just like you did but instead of directly deep frying it, smoke it at like 175 degrees for an hour to get some smoke flavor in it and then deep fry it to make it crispy! Those chicken recipes looked Amazing too! Love your videos! God Bless!

[@samuel0705]

The slicing method at 2:25 is commonly used by Yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) restaurants when serving beef tongue. I think something similar can be done with Galbi (Korean BBQ).

[@maws]

8:22 Leo bout to get dry aged for that one

[@dnmhillhouse]

You guys Rock! Thank you for your content!

[@RichardDrink]

something about this channel is so comforting to watch bro you cannot go wrong throwing on some gugafoods

[@Coachmeister]

I love that you actually did these gigs, talking about something is one thing. But doing it is next level

[@nicholascrow8133]

The steak accordion cut is often used in Korean bbq for brisket or ribs, allowing them to be cooked on the bbq without a long slow cook

[@ParagonTheBear]

god damn, Leo was savage in this video 😂

[@mrmugatu1look638]

@6:02 I thought the same thing lololol

[@gary1128]

Greetings from Houston. Guga my man, you got one of the most fun channels on the internet!

[@brettm3431]

when you open up the chicken breast for the filling tuck a small smoked sausage (lil smokie) at the top end for added flavor and presentation but whatever you do leave the finished product whole to thrill your guests- also works for some ( not all ) fish fillets

[@aperm2116]

9:22 XD

[@AkuFexin]

Guga: trying all the food hacks Also Guga: this looks amazing can't wait to try it! Just let me add 50 other ingredients to this!

[@guscrown]

Yeah, I was excited to hear his opinion on the food hacks, but he couldn't help himself and basically made his own thing.

[@silvanuss]

Yeah that chicken was supposed to get honey, instead it got soy sauce, mapple syrrup, chives, baking soda, motor oil and a splash of vinegar... following up the instructions and going by the book.

[@peterheinzo515]

just because you cant deviate from a recipe and gauge the difference it makes, doesnt mean someone who cooks for a living cant. he did not change the way this preparation technique works significantly.

[@silvanuss]

@@peterheinzo515 he said that he will try the recipes out ( that implies as is) I'm aware Guga can cook, but he could've said, I'm trying it as is, or making it better or something. That was it, just don`t say you`re going to do one thing then go and do that with a twist ...or make a completely different thing by adding ingredients that weren't there in the first place.

[@kylefitzherbert9381]

Ya he completely changed that first chicken lol.

[@ryugaboumera4490]

I watch Max's channel on the reg, and this is the first time I heard somebody call the Steak Accordion "Horrendous", I love it

[@hkarim4820]

11:13 *Friendly fire will not be tolerated*

[@ALLENM07]

“Moving this floppy thing is uncomfortable” Pause Guga

[@kallusive8986]

6:36 You gotta make sure you work the edges, “she” will thank you later.

[@josephpalacios1054]

Just got my Spiral Guga “Breaking The Barbecue Rules” so excited! Amazing quality!!

[@RolandSchlosser]

I love the editing XD top notch!

[@paulkami]

5:12 - This escalates quickly

[@lucacorletto8232]

The fine sliced steaks on a stick are fairly popular here in Italy as a street food, they're called arrosticini and are just wonderful. If you come by them you should try

[@adamhastie2278]

Yo this video was hilarious guys! Props to the video editor and the little gags, the google translate was hilarious and the mooooooooooooooooooooooo with the cow, too funny. Guga, I ain't gonna lie I was getting tired of the collab videos with all the other chefs, I like you doing your own thing again!

[@Zajantor]

Guga, I watch your videos while eating and pretend like I'm eating the same food to make mine taste better. Being served a steak by you is definitely on my bucket list! Although, preferably not with one of these "Life hacks" done to it lol

[@lylemoore3827]

Leo dry age coming up after roasting guga this hard this video 😂

[@splicegraph]

For cutting the accordian steak, a good trick to cut it without going all the way through is to use 2 wooden chopsticks laid on either side of the steak. This will stop the blade.

[@joshf-w9602]

Also don’t use a steak cut, ideal cut is short rib

[@ebreshea]

love the editing. It still grates on me every time guga says "immediately" tho.

[@s1gne]

IN the Netherlands we could buy an ovendish with chickenbreast, honey-caramel and goatcheese wrapped in spek (bacon strips cut from the belly).. and some thyme. Only needed 20-25 minutes in the oven at 180°C (350° Freedom units). The honey-caramel with the goatcheese was a real good combination. (Yellow Curry (Kurkuma) sauce with black cherries and ginger in syrup is amazing too... sounds like a weird combo but it works), great with rice or in a pie with puff pastry.

[@sisisisi1111]

Holy moly.. this has to be the best episode of anything you guys have ever done. My gosh. The recipes - nice, your conversations and editing - Next level

[@prakashsanthanam3502]

Bruh Max clearly mentioned to cook the accordion steak high and fast to avoid overcooking but guga cooked the steak in the same tradional way that's why the steak overcooked

[@tastierwindow3013]

Definitely would like to try, another great video.

[@DavidRaccah]

We have Chicken as the winner, and even more chicken on a Guga Channel, the Internet has broken Guga! AWESOME! But even better was the description guy going all Jon Snow on Guga and his age, made Ramsay Bolton look like a PrimaDona! Love the show guys! The cut-ins have gotten really good and of course, the content is 2nd to none! Bravo!

[@lmpeters]

I wonder if the accordion steak would have turned out OK if you cooked it for an even shorter time on an even higher heat? Maybe use a pizza oven, or a flame thrower?

[@bl4ckst0ne]

the accordion cut should be used for short rib, not picanha.

[@cocodojo]

Also make sure the searing music's paired with the flamethrower for maximum flavor

[@ryanfox5612]

Yes. I've done accordion steak in an ooni in cast iron on full blast. Worked great.

[@M0RALO]

Guga, did you just say don't mess with the steak? You got to kidding me 😂 The who guy dry aged wagyu in Nutella...

[@SS4Xani]

This video is worth the like based on Guga's reactions alone. Bonus of how useful the video is. :D

[@timli1830]

Thank you Guga for posting this video today! I was just told that I have a non cancerous brain tumor which I did surgery for yesterday. This video has really brightened my day!

[@Daniel-oy6xq]

Damn, Guga is about to dry-age Leo at this rate.

[@Eltanin24]

Nothing is better than medium rare human everybody

[@kamogelomokhele900]

Happy new year guga , hope the channel reaches new high levels of subscribers and videos, I love your content, keep doing what your doing, your the best ,❤

[@timothymartin2546]

Bombastic side eye 😅😂 aww damn those roasts killed me! LMAO

[@imac6]

The guga translate and the cow 😂 love the edit. Great stuff dudes 🤙

[@mushudragonusa2014]

I don't know what kind of hedgehogs Guga has been eating, but my hedgehogs usually are a little more prickly than that.

[@gamingspartan9302]

I'm so glad u are also trying them

[@mr.attoris2487]

Greez vid, good job mate!

[@MrFox-xr9cc]

To be fair: That chicken sauce looked rich and tasty af. Could have probably saved anything.

[@Kylekashi]

Dang Leo is out for blood in this episode 🔥😂

[@michaelkevinmirasol8256]

Looks like he's next on the dry age cabinet lmao

[@MisterMiller]

I've been doing the slashes on the chicken for a while before it goes on the grill. It's just pretty, and with the seasoning, it tastes good.

[@kendrickcarvajalguzman821]

Ajajajaja " the dammm chicken everybodyy " that was hilarious Guga 😂😂

[@dandeflavis7004]

I actually made the first chicken recipe the same way as her and it was pretty good

[@Zero1380X]

Honey is fantastic with chicken. I still don't know why he went with maple syrup (which also works, but honey is better for this)

[@vixenligon1167]

I made mine with Maple syrup and it’s absolutely delicious. The second time I made it I cut it up in the small pieces instead of making like a hedgehog. It’s so much easier that way.

[@LasPleysLol]

11:25 The freakin cow

[@Noneofyourbusiness1207]

The stuffed chicken, I did with thighs,and stuffed them with a loaded baked potato filling. Divine!!!😋

[@antonschjelvan]

awesome video guga !

[@mohammadyeasinkhan6885]

[@christinaw.3219]

5:13 was my exact reaction when I first saw Max on one of your videos.

[@CenturyBlade]

I love that you named it “Sus Chicken” 😂😂😂

[@randommf3549]

Everything reminds me of her 😩

[@slarsp2]

Yeah especially that chicken with the egg. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@sushi_monsterx3]

What Guga did not realize is that he finally made an eye round taste good

[@inferno177]

2:57 this part had me cracking up 😂

[@acerock013]

the accordion thing is something Korean BBQ places have been doing for years for Kalbe. Place chopsticks along each side of the steak to keep the cuts even and not too deep.

[@obrayn]

Good job Guga! Would have been nice to get the original links to the videos though :)

[@mrdirtylobster1613]

agreed

[@Ferdish3]

Totally agree!!!

[@gymonx11]

Not my proudest....

[@Lord_Nathaniel_Ashworth]

What? Proudest what???

[@ianedwardmusic379]

Oh bud, if you’re serious, stay out of the meat and poultry aisle for a bit.

[@shubhsharma5435]

Not ONE unique experience

[@danietkissenle]

Stay away from mussels if you got hose problems

[@_divvie]

one recommendation for the steak accordion: Use several long shashlik skewers to keep the steak "solid" allowing for much easier flipping

[@336kiro]

„Nice pocket“ I love you Guga 😂❤

[@NerdySatyr]

I have to ask, do you eat the meat cold or reheat it before bringing it to the table? Always been super curious about this!

[@shadowednight1600]

I wonder that myself. Can't imagine eating some of this cold is fun unless he uses a low oven

[@arlaghdoth4434]

It's certainly not cold, they've got smoke coming out of them all the time, so either they re-heat it or they're really fast at taking these shots. I've also heard Guga mention on his second channel that they always eat it warm.

[@NerdySatyr]

@@arlaghdoth4434 Good to know! I just wonder how they do it

[@Tonyhouse1168]

From what I’ve seen, it’s either placed in a warming oven at something like 140 degrees or put under foil on top of a low-heat burner

[@jin12345678]

I think he said before they go in food warmers after they're done and before they taste it so the food is always warm. I assume he's using some professional grade warmers you use at restaurants.

[@ChaoticBlitzZ]

Everything reminds me of her…

[@OhNoSoup.]

Yo…

[@LotBD]

I tried the hedgehog chicken since I had apple cider vinigar and OMG. My husband called it a 5 star meal. It was soooo good.

[@diecastmodelhub]

definatly a good video after a few beers lol!!🤣

[@MrAbOoD009]

Can you do a video cooking a middle eastern dish of rice and meat, that would be awesome!

[@Kato22PR]

2:08 I don’t get it. Your gonna try the hack, yet you do something completely different from the video?

[@jamesmurphy7828]

I love how Guga was just hacking the hacks the entire way through lol.

[@zarinbloomer]

I love Guga and the guys, such cool people, always the best videos! Hope you all are having a good new year

[@richarddevine205]

It's good to see as Angel gets older his taste buds are maturing.

[@Phi1618033]

That thumbnail is gonna get Guga demonetized.

[@shawnwolfenbarker3327]

This is how I grill steaks. No complaints so far . Mix , melted butter with a little hot sauce, salt tenderizer, pepper, garlic powder ,. Dust some salt tenderizer first then other seasonings and use a spring spiked tenderizer to push seasoning into the meat, dry , as I tenderize .Baste one side of meat with melted butter mix right before placing on the grill butter mix down, helps keep meat from sticking . Coat top side every time it is flipped over until done to your liking. Add mix to 1/2 thick potato steaks for an easy side dish.

[@Alex-zi1nb]

"moving the floppy thing is uncomfortable" guga!!!! improvise, adapt, overcome!!!!!!! you cant just tong it. get a spatula involved. and also you did great cutting, but using chopsticks as a spacer is ezmode. sooooooooo good to maximize surface area for those crispy bits
