How to Cut a Steak Against the Grain - Pre Brands

[@MockyRock]

I've watched two videos on this subject. The fact that you demonstrated pulling the meat apart with your fingers was pretty smart as opposed to just eating it and saying "YUP.....Its Chewy." Thank you lol

[@lonnawalls901]

Have you ever been inlove

[@PreBrands]

Haha, you're welcome!

[@c.b3427]

Thank you for showing step-by-step on how to cut against the grain. I have watched a few videos and was still confused on how to do the cut, until I came across your video. Well done!

[@tracywallace8900]

Your background music is way too loud. Couldn't hear you speak..😢

[@donnasmeltzer3133]

I thought the same thing

[@maureenmassey1665]

I agree. The background music mostly drowned out your explanation.

[@Julianign]

Can't you read the sub?

[@shazam.2719]

You can turn on subtitles

[@kenwhittaker4972]

Yeah. First thought upon playing. Moving to a less annoying vid.

[@abraham-cs2jk]

Great demonstration! I watched about a dozen videos on this before I found yours and this was by far the easiest to understand. Thank you

[@PreBrands]

That's great to hear, we try to make it as simple as possible!

[@JenniferDacon]

This is so helpful. Thank you for explaining the grain, i was trying to cook beef pepper steak and I think knowing the grain and where to cut was great. Thanks for showing it when raw and cooked and trying with the grain and against. GREAT HELP! I feel better learning this.

[@rkjackson2411]

Thank you for showing raw and cooked meat. I have been at a loss. My mum is a chef and I hate to ask her anything about cooking LOL. Thank you.

[@PreBrands]

Haha! Glad to help!

[@KrazyTed113]

After watching like 10 videos telling me to cut against the grain and not knowing what that meant, I watched this. Now I know! Thanks!

[@PreBrands]

So happy to help!

[@TheStaceyKash]

This was the most helpful video on this for me !

[@dylancorturillo1196]

Same

[@kathleengrant4341]

Thanks, but your music blocks too much of your voice.

[@PreBrands]

Sorry about that! We will look into softening it next time. Thanks for the feedback.

[@jefferysimon]

Thanks for so excellently explaining this. Its a great demonstration trying to tear apart a string of connected meat (with the grain) than a bunch of already cut strings of meat (against).

[@VinDcator]

Very good instruction on the difference between the two. Tastier is better.

[@madmagboy]

Your editor did you dirty with the backtrack at 1:33 but thank you, your advice still helped

[@KC-hc2tx]

Background music was too loud

[@LovingMyJesusAlways]

The music was pretty loud but I did hear your explanation. I really didn't know what cutting against the grain meant. Thank so much for explaining. I have a recipe that I plain to do and it said cut against the grain. Again thanks.

[@gregprewgreg]

Great demonstration. Thank you

[@SCGNiagara101]

Ah. NOW we get it! Thanks a mill for such detailed visuals and explanations!!

[@PreBrands]

So happy to help!

[@heidihyatt3252]

Perfect! Finally up close and hand hold explanation.

[@k.b.woodworker3250]

I think I've been cutting it with the grain. No matter how expensive the steak, it is chewy. Well, at least I've developed strong jaw muscles. Your explanation was good. Better than any I've seen so far. (I'd like to say politely, the loud music was distracting and make it hard to concentrate on your words).

[@djmorry8748]

I agree a good video ruined by music you did not need, your voice was just fine!

[@kamariaspeaks]

Thank you so much. This was so helpful.

[@josemelendez6399]

The more you know. At 25 I just learned this. Thank you

[@Noone-hk1vf]

Good to know, thank you for the information!

[@floridafamilyfun1597]

Why am I just now learning this at 42? No wonder my steaks are tough half the time!

[@honeybadger713]

Don’t feel bad , I’m 56 and I was today years old when I learned this 😅😅😳

[@Powderedwatertoo]

Good job. First two or three videos I checked basically said "find the grain and cut against it", entirely missing the point (we know how to use a knife). Thanks

[@andrewpoi4447]

Great video about cutting against the grain. One thing you need to improve is the mic. Get a better mic so we can hear you clearly. Thanks.

[@lindaschneider1130]

What's this viedo about your load music or steak

[@enayathali8971]

very good demo on this subject........

[@CarbageMan]

Most of the videos just say "find the grain and cut against it." I like how you showed identifying the grain in different cuts of meat.

[@tameekagreen2412]

Perfect explanation

[@harveygaspar8738]

Just as an added suggestion: Just look at the side edge of the steak where the meat is exposed.. You will see the grain easily and it is running from top to bottom of steak surface. You seemed to have ignored that. Chops bone in are the same.

[@dirtysanchez53]

It killed me watching a dull, serrated knife destroy that meat...but you're going to chew it anyway, and I bet it still tasted good :)

[@CHERYL-rc7ft]

I finally understand! Thank you 😊

[@noemigonzalez1254]

Excellent video

[@slaimy76]

very useful video. thank you for uploading

[@impactodelsurenterprise2440]

What if your grains are running vertical? It can't be cut against the grain no matter how you slice it unless you cut it horizontally.

[@gadescuhoratiunicolae6530]

ImpactoDelSur Enterprise I would definitely not call this against the grain, the grains run vertically, bottom to top as the steak sits on the table.

[@impactodelsurenterprise2440]

Indeed the steak shown here has vertical grains which has been cut across the grain from a larger muscle. I think if she were to cut on a bias, then the result would be a somewhat shorter grain.

[@mescellaneous]

they are vertical in the video. i was kinda thinking that steaks should be cut like how flank steak is naturally, along the grain.

[@earlkeim4713]

I too could not hear what you were saying. Just so you know, there's lots of free public domain music out there 😄😄

[@prettypinay8067]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@npodgorje]

Thank you. Explained very well. 👍❤️

[@guillermoguerrero58]

I can't hear anything. Do you really need the background music?

[@ranisaeed5380]

Thank u so much for this it was very helpful 💜

[@JenniferDacon]

Great video, just the right amount of explaination and not boring but on target. Thanks Julie

[@Christina-ny3zo]

background music way to loud

[@cbgr8726]

So helpful,,, you are awesome

[@robertpflanz7128]

Turn the music OFF, can’t her hear speaking!!!

[@dayzemae9015]

Can I ask you please where you got that fantastic great big cast iron skillet with the handle. Thank you.....💕

[@PreBrands]

We use Lodge cast iron!

[@anag5267]

Omg AMAZING!! I learned something

[@geoffreyrussell7650]

It's just wrong. You can't cut strip steaks against the grain unless you stand it up on it's side and slice cutlets. It's anatomically impossible otherwise. You could slice it at angles, though, which would further shorten the grain. Same goes for ribeye.

[@theirishman8356]

Do another vid without the backing. More zoom on meat too. Thnx for the vid. Very informative. 😎

[@PreBrands]

Thanks for the feedback, we are currently working on a better one!

[@MitchelPie]

Plain cooked steaks?

[@andyandcallie]

Thank you so much!!

[@DaGuunOSHO]

This video is the shit!!! No wonder why my steak was so chewy, and it was a Prime Ribeye

[@alugartttt]

thank you

[@gingergilbert1347]

Couldn’t hear well with the music but helpful

[@ToriJadeTalks]

Background music is so loud I couldn’t hear you which is too bad because you seem to really have the information I need. Maybe repost with no music?

[@sandrasmith7501]

Please turn down music so I can hear you.

[@DietCokeKillar]

Background music too loud to hear you! However got the info, thx.

[@je6845]

Thank you ❤️

[@SCGNiagara101]

Next, how to make the perfect steak in a frying pan!

[@aladeeznutz6473]

Did..did she not season those?

[@Whalester]

Great video, learned a lot of information, however whomever balanced the audio and music in post did a horrendous job. Music is too loud, quite dialogue.

[@dennislee62]

Dificult to hear past the music

[@LoverBoiRani]

Now that’s knowledge

[@JA-fy1bn]

I was not able to finish watching the video. It looked very informative, but the low vocal audio and that ridiculous music had me stop halfway through. Sorry!

[@brad_neal]

Great information, but the music is loud and distracting and you need a mic.

[@fredymahmud3602]

Nice video, thank's for the lesson. Cute teacher.

[@WILDCHILDNJ]

Bought some of these last week and they were delish. Nice and thick too😋🥩 #NYstrip

[@DubbleH27]

goood, but .. can you reduce the music volume..

[@Broncoseela]

I thought I am in a night club

[@Wannakatana2112]

Echo!! You need a microphone

[@lllestico]

thanks!

[@LynMonton]

That music is louder than your voice.

[@barbgillett728]

I couldn't s hear what you were saying. Do we really need the music?

[@ChristopherFranko]

I feel like this is over thinking it.

[@Suspect42]

This music is way way way too loud. I can't hear what she's saying.

[@AngieMcCarthy-s7z]

Please turn background music off.

[@patriciablanco4079]

Music to loud and distracting

[@stevejohnsons9668]

Great video, but the music is way to overwhelming I have trouble hearing, and music is Too much

[@andrefortune8278]

Roar!!!!!!! 🦕

[@fautass]

Id love to watch this video but the music is distracting and way too loud for background noise. I'm sure u have good info, make it easy to take in.

[@Tron_Better]

The music needs to be quieter and you need a sharper knife

[@anhthoholzer_feelgreengmbh9006]

The music is too loud.

[@beanybigguns]

Had to stop watching...the background music is far too loud.

[@PreBrands]

We are very sorry about that! We will look into softening it next time. Thanks for the feedback.

[@IvorEmail]

the music is too loud. I can't hear what the woman is saying!

[@karmicselling4252]

The best way to get evenly cooked super tender steak is to cut the steak up into stir fry sized strips prior to cooking it. Perfectly cooked steak first time, every time.

[@katiev3720]

Fix the music please

[@officermiclawdogzurc6156]

2:20 zoom in when she did the cut

[@419buckeye7]

I just want a gas stove and a cast iron set

[@CarmenGarcia-bu3so]

Music way too loud.

[@shariwasson6514]

It would've been great but I couldn't hear her over the music. It was way too loud.

[@PreBrands]

Totally understand, we are working on reuploading this! Thank you for the feedback.

[@johnjackmade]

Time to get a sharper knife!

[@conradeddie3776]

MUSIC WAAAAY TOO LOUD!!

[@dookiewu]

Too loud and when you say cut against the grain you didnt even zoom in

[@t908kenworth]

The background music is so annoying

[@JackP-t6w]

Swear that soirloin is a fillet

[@yoyoglock4]

The music made it hard to understand you :-(

[@56islander]

who cuts steak with a serrated knife? not me

[@angeg6065]

The back found music is ridiculous

[@mzimmermann888]

Please turn off the music! I can't hear you.

[@SwisstedChef2018]

Lot of talk and only shows how to cut when cooked, one has to also cut raw, way too long

[@bharrodify]

Music overtakes talking...irritates!
