I tried a WAGYU Master Secret MSG for Tastier Steaks!

Steaks are amazing, but the best of the best is wagyu! Japanese people have a key ingredient that they use very often on steaks and today we try it on a wagyu picanha!

I love that you stay so in love with food, Guga. That cute little giggle of joy when you tasted the croquette just made me so happy. . Though I'm living vicariously, I get it. That's how I feel when the food comes out "just right." Nicely done, per usual.

i was just about to comment this, lol

[@telotawa]

also, hondashi is a product made by the company ajinomoto, which is literally the company created by the guy who discovered MSG for manufacturing MSG

[@dav1dgear]

Guga, the msg of Japan is msg, they are the creator of msg you know so ajino motto is as msg as you can get. Hondashi, katsuo dashi and konbu dashi is Japan natural msg

does your Jap-Wifey got any hot single sisters?

[@Loan--Wolf]

im guessing it was a lot then ?

[@jla3880]

Hondashi is a stock made by steeping bonito flakes and other stuff like kombu, the powder guga used is highly concentrated bonito extract that can flavours food the same way msg does or make a lazy stock by diluting in water at a ration of 1 tea spoon to 1 cup. The amount that guga used could probably make 30 bowls of miso soup.

[@lsh3rd]

@@jla3880 indeed… I’ve made miso soup by doing it the traditional way… it’s a lot of work for zero gain over the powder.

[@KeterHirameki]

[@ZedLead]

You make great vids Guga!

[@EvilOttoJrProductions]

I've been using Hondashi to season steaks for years; it's like a cheat code for the perfect steak flavor. You don't need anywhere near that much though; put it on the same way you'd add salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and that's plenty.

[@WaabuTV]

5:00 When Guga gets zesty you know the food is bussin

[@paulstevens1493]

I just tried this and I must say, it was super good. I put a small amount in and it didn’t taste fishy, it just added a subtle funk and a boosted umami that blended really well with the steak (I also included garlic in the compound butter). Reminds me a bit of truffle salt in this context.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

I watch Japanese cooking videos: they use only a little hondashi powder or granules in a dish. The product increases the level of umami flavoring and adds saltiness. It also adds Bonita tuna flavoring. I prefer my wagyu to rely on natural beefiness. MSG is derived from celery and that would be fine to add to the basic beef.

[@brandoutmusic]

love the vid as usual guga! just maybe a small suggestion to consider for experiments: i notice that usually the compound butter wins over any of the other methods, but it can be hard to tell whether thats because of it simply being more butter vs. the INGREDIENT in the compound butter making it good. maybe if you had one that was a control butter and then a compound butter one, that would make it more clear whether the steak is better bc of just the butter or bc of the fact its compounded with the secret ingredient :)

[@SimServant]

Guga, you've been doing these MSG experiments for a while now, with many of them, I want to see a March Madness style bracket to crown the best one OF ALL TIME! Thanks!

[@josephpedone2004]

I don’t know if it counts, my mom used to make the potato croquettes with bacon and Italian season bread crumbs

[@tonybrowning3077]

I tried the compound butter last night on my grilled steak. I just happened to have the Hondashi in my pantry (used to make ramen broth). I did enjoy it for the added kick that it brought to the steak, but I did add the same rub to the butter that was on the steak (Rodney Scott's Porcini Garlic Herb Pepper), just to marry the two up.

[@x225francx]

Hello Guga , i really love your video , i wanted to give you a side dish idea : - Garba Garba is a popular Ivorian street food. It is a simple yet beloved dish consisting primarily of attiéké (fermented cassava couscous) and fried fish, typically tuna. The dish is often garnished with sliced onions, tomatoes, and chili peppers for added flavor. It's THE dish to eat in Ivory Coast

[@lqfr8813]

hondashi is a concentrated seasoning to be used in broth and soup. using it on steak indeed will make it too strong of flavor, maybe there needs a way to limit how much you incorporate the hondashi into the steak. you can crush hondashi even finer dust, then reduce the amount sprinkled on steak

[@krislong9338]

Hondashi is a quick and easy to start a nice dashi. I use it to start diahes when I don't want to take the time to boil some katsuobushi.

[@peterterry7918]

You can try some of these "alternative MSG" variants on cheaper steaks and see how close you can get it to Waygu

[@thanatos6902]

something that would be interesting to me... is instead of just doing 3 of these and using the different ingredient twice and a control, have a normal control without MSG, one with traditional MSG and one or two with the different ingredient as a wider experiment... instead of testing only if it's better than no MSG see if it's better than traditional MSG as well

[@captainsmokie]

@Guga, you do so many successful and delicious looking compound butters, and I don’t have enough free days of the week to try them all! You should do a video of a showdown between your top 10 favorite secret “msg” compound butters! Would be epic!

[@crazymatsuki]

Uncle Roger's influence is so much on Guga 😂

[@asdfdsf-s4u]

it's because they are related.

[@benjaminvdvyt]

My favourite restaurant has these potato fried 'cookies' (they sell them translated literally under potato cookie), and with the sauce they add to it, they are arguably my favourite thing there. Don't get me wrong, the sushi they got is fantastic as well, but those cookies are just so lovely as a snack.

[@random-style]

4:24 "If you think it gets better than this you..." **simulates brain damage** 7:03 Unanimous decision that the other steak is better

[@MrVincelarson]

You guys have done so many experiments with steak and several of them have been better than the controls but how do you rank the experiments against each other? Which are your favorites???

[@totaleclipse518]

Do a video where you combine every ingredient from a previous video that was considered better than the control by Guga or one of the guys. Would be absolutely insane.

I think “MSG of [insert country]” works for just about every country except Japan. Considering they first harvested MSG, and were the first to isolated the compound, and use it frequently in their cuisine, it’s fair to say MSG is the MSG of Japan lol. Great video as always tho Guga!

i know garlic powder is your signature but i feel it should only be used on the control, the garlic may over take the flavor in the other steaks. i know it makes steaks so much better but to find out the full flavor, maybe do the experiment with no garlic powder because then you're comparing it to the legendary guga steak which you guys think is the best. if the experiment compares to the original or is better then you know it is a true good experiment.
