[@alexchico4953]

Saw title, making prediction before I watch based off all the guga videos I've watched. It's tender, but Butter/fat sucks all the flavor out of the meat.

[@knot131]

I think he knew the results even bf doing the experiment, but he needs to make videos lol

[@EjDantes]

I think cooking it for a week also had more to do with the dryness than anything else.

[@dominicballinger6536]

To be fair, this is essentially a confit principle. A proper confit involves letting whatever you've cooked in fat rest for a day or so after cooking. When you reheat it, it then still has pretty good flavor. Though I'm not sure how well it's applied here with sous vide

[@kevind3974]

Usually yes but that’s also the point of these videos. Sometimes he’s surprised other times he got what he expected.

[@yhsyoo]

Long time ago experiment was done and we found out that butter or other liquid does not go well with sous vide.

[@ExaltedDuck]

Part of why briskets are tender and juicy is development of gelatin from the cut's ample collagen. it makes me wonder if adding a couple packets or.sheets of gelatin to an eye round roast (no liquid) then run at like q+145 or 150 for 5-6 hours might do what you want. And maybe another with a little something acidic like maybe an ounce or two of a tart wine in addition to the gelatin (maybe even bloom the gelatin in it)

[@user-yc9nt6vw3z]

It’s not because of gelatine, it’s actually because of the collagen, which is gelatine-like. And the collagen itself does not make it more tender, it actually makes it tougher, but the way you smoke it for a long time makes it so that it melts and the juices make it more tender.

[@ExaltedDuck]

@@user-yc9nt6vw3z when brought up to around 180 with plenty of moisture around.d, collagen is converted into gelatin. Once in gelatin form, though, it only needs to hit about 145-150 to properly dissolve to where it can set up into the gela we usually associate with gelatin.

A week was like making meat soup! I Sous Vide round and London broil for 36 hours at 130*. I brown them and put them in the refrigerator. For breakfast I prepare 8 slices very thin across the grain and have it cold with eggs. You might be surprised, it's pretty good!

I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels like this but I ABOLUTELY LOVE GUGA!!! I never cooked a meal in my entire life and I've been watching for around 3 years now( though I've gone back in his videos like 7 years lol) I cook for my family at least 3 nights a week and I give my wife a run for her money. Guga I appreciate you and all your videos your tha man! Tha k you for being YOU!

[@BensRamblings]

Those crepe cannoli's as you called them are basically what good manicotti are, they are made with a crepe instead of the dried manicotti shells.

[@nafspark]

I love the idea that seasoning the outside with salt just before searing is somehow going to be anywhere near as seasoned as the one that had a full week for its salt to penetrate deeply and fully season the whole thing.

[@ipkandskill]

There is a decent bit of salt in 5lbs of butter to be fair.

[@nafspark]

@@ipkandskill if he were using salted butter, he would have said so and probably wouldn't have added salt later.

Love your videos! This one was interesting to say the least. However it got me thinking. I would like to see more videos about how to cook ,bbq ,sous vide . All the different kinds of roasts people can find at the grocery store. More roast varieties. Thanks Guga.

[@BigAlsBBQ]

Total respect for you guys. I was watching this, thinking jeez they are dry as hell & wondered if you would try to blah it but you guys were completely honest & called it as it was 👍🏻

[@JM8T]

"you want steak next week?" "ok i'll get it in the sous vide now."

better than not getting the steak started at all !! lol

[@MarkDeSade100]

[@lefterisatheras5918]

@@MarkDeSade100 one time he accidentally dry-aged for 4 years

[@danpackard9813]

Guga I love you but if you want a good eye round, you have to trim it (almost all the fat to get all the silver skin) season it, smoke it or put it in the oven low and slow at 250. Then let it rest, slice it extremely thin on a slicer and put it on gugas buns with bbq sauce, mayo and American, or you can go the French dip route. Roast beef sandwiches are eye round and they are delicious everybody!!!!!

[@chipzz86]

true that treat it like a roasting joint not a steak

[@Potato-wz4ke]

If it was not a family friendly channel, guga would always say, “My meat is not looking good right now but watch this…” 😂

[@rafbi4874]

Even if I don't have sous vide, money to get fancy meat or a grill, Guga's videos are always worth watching just to get the recipes for the sidedishes, who are ALWAYS amazing!

I really thought you weren't onto something with this one but yet again the iron steak still sucks lol, still a great video guga! We love you guys! 💯

I'm making my grandma's lasagna on Monday but damn, that side dish is tempting to do instead! Thanks Guga!

[@treehuggingbuddhist]

Please do a side dish cookbook! ❤

[@jimsiggy]

I find that the drippings added back to the meat after slicing, greatly improves the moisture and eating experience.

[@EdHadder]

Awesome video 👏🏻

[@theadmiral5425]

🤣🤣🤣🤣"Eye round didn't deserve that"....I make stuffed manicotti just like you did with the crepes. Two thumbs up👍👍

[@JontyBlue67]

Great tip for Sous Vide, Guga 🤓

[@goldilox369]

So crepes canoli is Italian enchiladas. Ok. 👍🏻

[@flamerollerx01]

That's what I said! It's like Italian Enchiladas, with a French twist!

[@alexspera3116]

The actual name is manicotti.

[@Dont_Fear_Phil]

He meant to say cannelloni, sometimes I really really thing Guga would benefit from a proofreader/fact checker, he does this all the time and then people in the comment are steered in a the completely wrong direction. Crepes Cannoli would be a dessert mimicking the normally fried italian cannoli, a creme-filled dessert pastry. *Crepes Cannelloni*(what he actually made) are a savory stuff dinner crepe with ingredients like spinach and ricotta.

[@Dont_Fear_Phil]

@@alexspera3116 Manicotti is a pasta, these are made using crepes so it'd be called Cannelloni.

[@Dont_Fear_Phil]

@@alexspera3116 I know you deleted your response but it comes down to it I'm also confused, we're both basically arguing semantics over the same thing, Manicotti and Cannelloni are essentially the same thing so the term is also interchangeable when making it with crepes instead of the pasta shape, lol. The important thing to remember here is he definitely didn't make Cannoli.

[@stuart207]

I think sous vide is fine on it's own. Apart from basic seasonings it's already perfect. Baste and blast for the crust and 😋

[@OldManDendorian]

Always get amused when Guga does these experiments that take weeks (or a year sometimes) and after explaining the process, says "And it allowed me time to make an incredible side dish." Well I hope so given the time frame XD

[@permanentfitness1919]

$10 worth of meat & $20 worth of butter...

[@dickthedorkwing6082]

The only way to cook an Eye-Round is low and slow on the smoker. Keep a drip pan underneath to catch all of the drippings and then rest it, slice it thin and make a jus from the drippings. The beef flavor gets maximized and the thin slicing accompanied by the jus keeps it tender and moist. Go with hickory, oak or even fruit wood but steer clear from woods such as mesquite as they impart an astringent flavor. Eye-Round is an excellent, budget friendly cut of beef and if done correctly it is tender, juicy and flavorful. Far too many people screw it up by treating it poorly. 131⁰F max temp internal, low and slow on the smoker and just the basics (salt and pepper) for seasoning unless you are going for a pastrami or something similar.

Always love a good eye round video

yes

[@melihozdemir5529]

Cool video as always Guga. If you are looking for a way to make eyeround tasty you should try making döner. It is commonly used in making döner combined with more fattier cuts or just lamb tail fat. I would go for lambtail fat as it is incredibly tasty. You can try it in different recipes aswell.

The savory crepes canoli made me think of an Italian enchilada! lol Like, a lasagna enchilada almost.

[@LenorHPV18]

What would be interesting is seeing how fluid potential impacts moistness, the reason butter would draw moisture out is due to butter being hypertonic meaning I has more solutes than the meat, if you cooked with a hypotonic solution the moisture would be drawn in to the meat.

[@Superman-uh3cl]

Hey guga.. been a fan and subscribed since the beginning.. I thought adding butter or oil would take away the beef flavor. Should've made a reduction from the left over liquids in the butter roast.
