I Fermented Beef in KIMCHI for 10 Days (and ate it)

We know marinating beef is great, but what about fermenting? Today we put this to the test by combining massive beef short ribs with a variety of fermented ingredients, and the results were wild. I was legitimately at a loss for words after this one!

[@gkiferonhs]

The fermentation in the kimchi produces nitrite (like pink curing salt) that turns the meat pink like in pastrami.

[@void.reality]

Exactly. To add more detail, cabbage contains nitrate which is converted to nitrite by the fermentation process. Also, the fermented shrimp or other seafood often used contain nitrite as well.

[@LaLaLaXnd_4]

intresting

[@martijnbuunk]

Thats why flamingo's are pink.. is the shrimp they eat.

[@halyoalex8942]

[@jasonmackintosh1253]

I could be wrong but im pretty sure the pink colour in curing salt is an added dye, as the potassium nitrite is poisonous in large amounts. Not saying there isnt a chemical reaction that changes the colour of the meat, i have no idea. Supposedly they colour the curing salt to make it harder to be consumed accidentally.

I love that you’re injecting more humour into these videos. What a pleasure it has been to watch your channel grow.

As a Korean, I've been eating all of those delicious fermented dishes and sauce for 26 years every single day, but I would happily exchange them with DINO RIBS with no hesitation.

[@HillsPatrolTD42]

Are you not Asian? Max seems to think Asian and Korean are two different things...

[@jrcha0450]

@@HillsPatrolTD42 I think Max wanted to clarify that Kimchi, Ssamjang and Gochujang is Korean dish and sauces even though they can be defined as 'Asian'. On the other hand, saying soy sauce as Korean sauce can be controversial since every East Asian country has their own soy sauce with different origins. So referring those sauces as 'Korean/Asian' dishes seems okay to me.

[@monroerobbins7551]

Gotta admit, Max has made me so curious about different sauces that I’ve never heard of because he does one thing that I wish other food channels did: he breaks down the flavors, and some of the primary ingredients. As someone who’s super sensitive to flavors and smells, I’m super picky, and whenever I learn about something new and asks what it tastes like, I never get specifics, nor do I ever hear about the primary flavor agents, so Max breaking it down and getting into flavor profiles helps a lot, it makes me happy.

[@fretless05]

FYI, Ssamjang is a sauce which has both Doenjang (fermented soybean paste) and gochujang (the chili paste) among other ingredients/seasonings... As for kimchi, it does have some nitrates and nitrites, so will cure the meat a bit.

[@michaelpair5476]

Just ordered the jerky, can’t wait to try it! Also used your rib roast recipe and it kiiiiiiilled at thanksgiving. Thanks for all the cooking knowledge, I’ve learned so much from you!

[@Mike-jh6gw]

I’m always looking forward to a new full sized video from Max🎉

[@pandacitis7763]

We'll braise pork ribs with kimchi, including the brine. Give it a try. The juices of the pork will flavor the kimchi as well as the kimchi flavoring the pork ribs. On the kimchi, if you add some fish sauce and puree Korean pear, it definitely kicks the kimchi to a new level.

[@patrickkim2394]

Really cool experiment Max! As you might already know, a lot of Koreans eat a cut of grilled meat in a ssam (lettuce wrap with a piece of meat, rice, kimchi or other veggie, sesame oil with salt, ssamjang, garlic, maybe a perilla leaf) or also straight up grill some pieces of kimchi to then eat in combo with the meat piece. So the kimchi marinated ribs being the favorite in this video matches up with a common Korean grilling and way of eating!

[@DanielRaez93]

Seeing Tibby makes my day better and informative of the brining method.

[@JD22122]

Max always makes everyone’s day better when he makes a new video.

[@HillsPatrolTD42]

Nup, usually it ruins it with his incredible lack of knowledge and blatant fumbling through the egotistic bullshit.

[@RedundancyID]

Hello, I'm enjoying watching it. I am Korean.(south of course) I was so glad to seeing many traditional Korean sauces at my subscribing channel. Next time, I'd like you to make it with a sauce called "chogochujang." Chogochujang is the thing that add vinegar in red pepper paste(gochujang). I think there will be a more interesting flavor. Thank you for loving Korea, and have a nice day. ❤️

[@francescogiacomopelagatti8221]

Technically since al the products sold on the market need to be pasteurised prior to selling, the only bacteria allowed in the bags are the ones in the meat. Same goes for enzymes, which are usually inactivated to prevent products from going bad. Ironically, furthermore, the ones in the meat are aerobic bacteria, which means that putting the meat in a plastic sealed bag will prevent them from proliferating. That s why the sous vide technology was invented in the first place, to preserve foods for longer amount of times by decreasing the action of aerobic bacteria. What he did there is what is called "wet aging" the meat, but he added a marinade of some kind.

[@MightyMirk]

That's a content packed video! Great experiment, thanks for sharing

My turkey cams out awesome on Thanksgiving thanks to you! YOU ARE MY FAV. I can NOT wait to get into more meats!

[@NWOWCW4Life1]

Always loving this content. As always, keep it up.

[@motoxris]

The Kimchi one probably did that because it was actually fermenting the meat, where the other sauces were most like been through more processing such as boiling which stops the fermenting process from continuing.

[@tompupino424]

MEET?🤣🤣

A fine specimen of a Tibby. Probably the most elegant Tibby I've ever seen! Also, those short ribs do look fantastic. I'm going to have to get some to try.

So the kimchi one turned pink because of the salt that mixed in with the spices in the juice that Gives the meat its color as it penetrated during the curing process kinda like corned beef

[@terrivel11]

Fun fact, Galbi/Kalbi is pronounced with more of a K sound than a G sound, though I see it spelled both ways. Don’t ask me why, I’m Korean but I’ve actually been adopted by the whitest people I’ve ever met (Love you Mom & Dad). There are a few things I’ve seen like that actually where I see it spelled with a G but it’s pronounced with a K sound.

[@salatsoose1290]

as a matter of fact marinades do not penetrate fully into the meat. The marinade only penetrates maybe 1-2 cm into the outside layer but the longer you marinade the more concentrated the flavor gets. I recommend the video made by adam ragusea about marination.

I am a bit confused about the fermentation part. Fridge cold temp stops the fermenting no? So the meat is only marinated in fermented sauce. But not fermented itself. Am i missing something?

[@insidelucidream]

BETTER STUFF THAN YOUR KNOCKOFF

[@danl914]

Professional bbqer herSo basically the fermentation process has loosened the meat allowing more channels for the brine to travel into the meat. The channels are microscopic however so it doesnt look much different texture wise. When it cooks nice and slow those juices are traveling all throughout the meat even distributing the heat allowing for that all red color.
