Sous Vide WELL DONE STEAK Experiment!

Most people HATE WELL DONE STEAK! Specially if you are a steak lover like we are. However everyone has a well done steak person in their family. That is a fact. Most of the time you feel like you don't want to cook for them as the steak is ruined, however I believe there is a perfect steak for this. It is the skirt steak. So, I ran this experiment.

I used to think 'Well done steak' meant the chef put extra effort into cooking the steak. English was never my best language.

[@chungtoichoinhac]

Barnabus Wut when i first heard about medium rare steak, i thought that was some kind of the best beef instead of how to cook it. Emglish was never my best language, too

[@Splinter48708]

Well done = no pink on the inside. Depending on the steak, it becomes very chewy/tough and is inedible (well, depends on the person). Most restaurants do not recommend well done. Medium well = very little pink on the inside/center of the meat. Medium rare = considerable amount of pink in the inside of the steak. Rare = steak is mostly pink to red with the outer layers showing signs of being cooked. Some folks might complain that if you stick a fork into a rare steak, it will Moo at you.

When I was training as a chef I was always taught that it’s a very crucial skill to be able to cook a steak well done. You cook far more steaks medium rare but you still need to be able to execute the skill of cooking them well done

[@s-boy4613]

Got any tips for cooking well done steak? I don't trust the health department in my country enough to inspect the meats thoroughly enough for me to cook it at medium rare.

[@keiskay]

@@s-boy4613 use a meat thermometer and check it to see if it hits 150+ 160+ if you wanna kill everything. I'd suggest marinating the steaks though if you're gonna do well done, allows for more flavor and keeps it from being too dry.

[@musialrocks6]

Or, use Sous-Vide since pasteurization is a function of time and temperature. USDA recommendations are a for the "instant kill" temperature, but you start killing bacteria at 131F - part of why it's such a popular temp for Sous-Vide for beef. 131 won't instantly pasteurize, but if held there for a long enough time (like a couple of hours) pasteurization will be achieved.. Meathead on Amazing Ribs has a bunch of info on the matter.

so well done was better than medium? interesting. I'll have to try the skirt streak. I am not a big fan of anything other than medium rare myself but I do have friends who like medium and well-done.

[@stormknightmd]

If memory serves, there are some meats that have a bimodal curve for tenderness. At the extremes of temperatures (medium rare vs. well done,) the meat is tender. Medium is where it's toughest. Thought process is that the meat fibers relax as they hit higher heat.

[@noodlegawd]

People "should" eat their steak however the hell they like it. Sous vide works great if you have people who like different temps. Start with the higher temps (my wife likes hers done to about 145/150), and go for about an hour, then cool the bath down to the lower temp (I like mine at 135) and add the other steak(s) and cook another hour or two. Sous vide is also a great way to cook steaks medium-well or well, because you don't have to worry as much about turning it into a hockey puck by cooking it too much.

[@jeremyaustin9103]

Cutting a steak thinner before cooking it also allows it to cook thru without destroying it. i.e. make 2 full pieces of one, cook both, (not needed for the sous vide of course, but for any other cooking)

I think the cooking method of sous vide had something to do with the tenderness of the meat? It's like when you're making a curry, even though you cooked your meat for 6 hours, it'll still taste tender and delicious.

[@solveigvan808]

They already did a video testing time to cook, 24/12/6/2 hours. With sous vide, time does not affect done-ness, but more time equals more tenderness. No other cooking method allows you to control both done-ness and tenderness like sous vide.

[@theoutdoorsman9726]

Whoaaaa man, that chimichurri sauce look amazing! You gotta love that garlicky, vinegary bite and freshness that comes from a great chimichurri sauce eaten on a beautiful steak. And then you get that little bit of spice coming thru from the dried chili flakes you put in there, or in guga’s case he actually added a couple of whole chilis to his it looked like. But normally, the standard recipe for chimichurri calls for dried red chili flakes. I LOVE a good sauce on my steak, and chimichurri is one of the worlds best IMO!!

[@johnf5122]

I think people don't get that people choose the way they like their meal, sure there's the color, but they say that isn't a good indication of proper cooking *(same goes for a lobster changing color) Lobster is my favorite food. For steak, I prefer meat that is "cooked thru" i.e. an even color, and I don't even mind less moisture *(not even a fan of ajus for P-Rib!) So people think if I say well done, it means burn the meat on both sides, middle still hasn't cooked as I want it!) I've ordered prime rib end cuts well done (which should already be done more than the other cuts!) If it comes out in 5 minutes, I know they didn't try to make it become well done. I've sent them back up to 3 times at some places, the 3rd time asking them to just cut the whole thing in half to thin it, so it will cook to well *(meaning cook evenly/thru) i.e. I don't even care about the marbling, no need for searing, nothing!) Could drop it in a sous vide with no marinading *if I wanted to wait 3 hours for it to "cook thru" to same, slightly browned to 156~165F temp. It will still be juicy and maybe even cut with a fork! I don't know why people have a challenge cooking meat without drying it all out? I don't even own a sous vide, maybe someday. Perhaps your father thinks also the same lines, again, just personal preferences, like some eats lettuce, others won't. They also say older people do not digest food that is not well done, as good as they do well done. People also try to cook meat that isn't fully thawed (it won't cook propery period!) I cook one side more slowly until the point where it is bleeding good, then flip it, but the other side won't take as long to cook, it also depends on the cut, quality, and age of meat.

Weird thing is, I did a roast beef joint medium-rare last week, and it tasted metallic (maybe because it was very lean). Cooking it more seemed to fix the issue.

It almost made me cry too, but then i saw he cooked a medium rare as well so all is good.

Great vid! Def gonna try some |Pimenta Malagueta after this 😁

Finally. Thank you!

Hank Hill style. When someone asks for their steak well done, we ask them politely, yet firmly to leave

Thank you so much Jamie, I really appreciate that.

[@bubblejuiceman]

I apologize for the rant, but I've chosen this video to post some thoughts I've held on to for a while. Out of respect for Guga and his talent, I just want to share my opinion. Hopefully people will consider it and experiment rather than toss it aside because it's unpopular to express. The whole medium rare is the "right" way to cook steak and well-done is "wrong" is complete bs. In Argentina most people I know/have met eat it well done, or medium-well at least. At an Asado (BBQ) you would usually have to ask for your piece to be cooked less or later if you didn't want well-done/medium-well. That's usually how restaurants serve it too unless you specifically ask for it differently. And that's a country renowned world-wide for it's steak. The cooking method is very important. For example, a common method is very slowly over wood coals from freshly burned wood, or high above the flames (usually with a coat of rock salt as seasoning, the excess falls off with some of the fat). Basically open-air smoked at higher temps than traditional smoking. The way it's cooked in the US, and many other parts of the world, well-done will almost always mean burned or dry. That's not the case in Argentina. People should learn to cook a proper well-done steak instead of saying well-done is "wrong" in it of itself. It's just not correct and sends the an ignorant message. Additionally, well-done will naturally be tougher than medium-rare, I mean, it's closer to raw than otherwise, so it will be softer. However, you can still achieve incredible softness, a nice thick bark/crust (which you couldn't get with medium or under using any methods I know of), bursting with juices, and a much more intense flavor than you would get with medium or under. Though, I have no idea about Sous-Vide, in this case it may not be a viable option. Long story short, to each his own. But saying a preference is "wrong" because some people don't know the skill, or just choose not to learn it is just ignorant to me. No disrespect to Guga though, he knows his steak, and this video tries to help buffer peoples feelings about well-done steak, but I feel like he unknowingly spreads this misinformation too. Ps. I'm not the authority on steaks. I'm just a person who seems to have grown up eating something most people have never experienced or even heard of (namely a proper well-done steak), and seeing it called garbage or wrong makes me sad for those people who will never experience it. Different recipes and different people require different levels of done-ness. And I think good well-done steak deserves a place in the foodie world.

[@jimmayorga1863]

Yeah, in Argentina, the well done steak is different... Yeah of course...

[@ultimaxsage9606]

Thank you, someone with rational thought. It always seems as if people who like well done steak and less judgemental and understanding if someone likes their steak less done, but if someone who only like medium rare steak hears someone likes a well done steak, its immediately "you're wrong, you're eating leather or you dont deserve to eat steak" Acting like its hurting their honor because someone eats something different than them, there is no wrong or correct way to cook a steak as long it is edible. Immediately brushing off a well done steak is done only by people who cant cook meat

[@CihanKoseoglu]

I'm a medium rare person but my parents and grandparents only eat well done meat. I'll try to make this for them!

[@SousVideEverything]

Give it a go and they will be happy.

[@Shaun.Stephens]

A lot of peoples parents lived through times when refrigeration wasn't taken for granted so lived with the reality that meat that wasn't cooked well done could make them very sick. Also broad-spectrum parasite control for livestock hadn't been invented so livestock could carry parasites in their muscles (google tapeworm cysts) that could infect humans. So they learned that rare meat was dangerous.

[@CihanKoseoglu]

You may be right great analysis

[@niksarass]

Many of you simply cannot understand that it can be tasty both ways. I like it both ways for my part, it's different but still good in both ways for some people, get over it

[@elksalmon84]

Well done steak is called well done for a reason. It's best taste, but it's very difficult to cook. Medium and rare came to fashion as an excuse to inability to cook meat well.

[@Jsalazar3269]

not one video so far that I have not enjoyed. Great job!

[@zhdfzfjvzrtuztuzt]

Love it! How about a video on medium rare vs rare vs blue?

[@user-mi1ub2zo6s]

My family likes well done and me n my uncle are the only ones who like medium rare and they cooked a well done picanha

[@user-mi1ub2zo6s]

BUT ITS PICANHA

[@FivedotFiveSix]

you should try that with rib eye just to see how different it tastes.

[@geigster]

Keith Rhodes I failed sous vide once with ribeye and over cooked it so badly because I was just using my stove top without thermometer. Honestly wasn't bad because of the meat quality, and was tender

[@sirbraxton9386]

Rib Eye n wagyu is ok to overcook since it's fatty. Tenderloin n non fatty pieces are trash well done

[@aformalevent]

I'd really enjoy a 'thing's I've learned' video where you go over some tips and things you didn't know at the start but have learned along the way. I'm sure there are things that aren't as important as you thought they were, or that are really fundamental but you didn't take seriously at the start. You've built up such a great catalog of content and knowledge and I appreciate it a ton! Are there any mistakes you were making early on that you wouldn't make now? Thanks for sharing your knowledge and learning along with us :)

[@ch0cchip704]

Wow looks great that salsa is a must try

[@geigster]

it's so strange; how come ninja and maumau like well done and med rare but not medium, even tho it's halfway between both

[@Cyrribrae]

geigster I wonder if that steak just wasn't as good. I would have said the sear flavor, but they all got seared the same. MAYBE the extra cooking helped break down the last bits of convective tissue. Whereas the meat of the medium rare is still tender. And maybe medium is neither. BUT WHO KNOWS lol.

[@matthewenfinger766]

I think it's just a matter of personal preference. I used to always want my steaks well done, partly because that's how my dad always cooked his, but my mom always has hers medium-rare. I've gotten better, been ordering medium-well, trying to get down to medium, I won't go lower. And it's not cause how it looks, it's a texture thing for me. Also, if a steak is done right, you don't need any kind of sauce. I bought a dry aged ribeye a couple weeks ago and split it with my parents and brother and wanted to cry when my dad grabbed the ketchup and Heinz 57. Anyways, great video as always, keep up the good work. Take care guys.

[@johnf5122]

Right, if you cook a good steak, it doesn't need anything on it! People add just for preference. For example, lobster is my favorite food, I learned to eat it with butter, but stopped early on, as it is actually better without it!

[@drummerboy2521]

Great videos and funny at the end.

[@rds3918]

Thanks! Now I know what steak I can make for those that like it on the well done side! Have you ever done a side by side of skirt vs. flank vs. flap? It might be an interesting comparison. Thanks again!

[@AshersAesera]

Giovanni Gomez Is your family traditional or immigrants? If it's either it could be just a safety measure from where they grew up where safety regulations aren't as strict as they are in first world nations. Pink Pork has only recently been cleared as safe for consumption.

0:44 Since when well done is not edible on any kind of steak ?

[@isabelromerochavarria4620]

I prefer medium well?which time and temp should I use? 150 f for 2:30 hours?

[@StBlueFire]

Awesome video! I would be really interested to try salt crusts on other cuts, even crazy ones. I wonder for example what a salt crusted hamburger would be like. What about a steak that was salt crusted in a sous vide machine? I think some things might not taste as good but who knows, I've been surprised before by you guys.

[@harrydepova8896]

If only I knew then what I know now... family always told me less than well done is under cooked... That should be considered a form of child abuse.

The kind of people that say "well done" ruins a steak are the kind of people that can't cook well done.

Nah well done is ass

[@wzzupputo7757]

SyxxPunk well done is basically never better then a medium / medium rare steak.

@@wzzupputo7757 Except this video right here, where the well done steak was better than the medium.

Joey Harper why would you care about softness? It’s the juice that really makes medium rare better.
