I Dry-Aged Steaks in BLACK Garlic and this happened!

[@cr0wn9001]

Been putting black garlic in everything for about 3 years now I won't ever let myself run out of it. It is so good! Edit: After using black garlic for so long, I'd suggest doing it how you did in the mashed potatoes and make a compound butter and use that to baste the steaks. Another amazing use I've found is making black garlic and garlic oil.

[@keithkannenberg7414]

Basting sounds like a great idea. You get the flavor notes of the black garlic but with lower intensity. Both of dry aged and sous vide black garlic steaks probably used more of the secret ingredient than he needed.

It’s just a clickbait title. Why he chose 24 hours is beyond me. Considering how expensive/time consuming black garlic is he might as well have gone for at least a week. Marinade is probably the appropriate term for what happened here.

[@GeoFitz4]

Tried Black Garlic for the first time recently when my friend got a jar of it. Putting it in mashed potatoes was a little bit weird since it turned the potatoes gray as I was using russet potatoes, but was tasty. My friend was also using it a bunch in a vinaigrette for her lunch salads. We also got some powdered black garlic so usually will use that on roasted potatoes. The most interesting use for me so far was making a cream sauce to go over steak. I've been making this sauce recently as a mushroom sauce. Basic method is saute garlic, shallots, and mushrooms in some butter, deglaze with white wine, dump in a pint of heavy cream and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until it's reduced down to 1/3 of it's original volume to make a rich, delicious mushroom cream sauce that goes great over steak, chicken, or with pasta. I made basically the same thing, except without mushrooms and added in a few cloves of black garlic when I put the cream in after sauteing the shallots. The sauce tasted almost identical to the mushroom version. The black garlic gave it that umami flavor that the mushrooms give the sauce.

[@PEPPERKICKS]

I was thinking of using my shiitake mushroom umami with the black garlic. What are your thoughts?

Hey Guga, if you prefer savory, try dry aging the steak in tamarind paste (I hope you haven't tried that before).

[@Virjunior01]

Oh man, that sounds interesting... I've made a prune sauce in the past, comes out purple. Seems odd to put over chicken, but that taste is badass. I see it working for raisins and tamarind, too!

[@jasonporter3520]

upvote

[@xkdjdnskdnscndjdj984]

Tamarind is incredibly strong, it will leave a very strong sour behind if the steak is completely coated with tamarind. I don't think it will do well with meats like steak and chicken in bulk. It would do well in small portions or in a diluted form for dry age mix or in the marinade for amplifying the acidity. Here in South India, we mostly use it for cooking coconut fish curry, pickles, chutneys, ground mixes (chamandi) etc. It does best with curries of bony fishes, cartilaginous fishes (sharks, sting rays) and molluscs (squid, oyster) imo.

That feels more like marinating than dry aging.... I think that one will probably turn out the best (if it's good at all). Putting a lot into the bag, as with the other one, usually dilutes the beef flavor.

If one day storage in the fridge qualifies as dry age, like 90% of all meat I've ever eaten was dry aged. If it's not bathing in liquid you can't call it a marinade either. It's just a preseasoning.

A lovely video as always Mr. Guga! If the steak came out sweet, how about using it in another dish? Like a fried rice, for example.

[@CookinRoundTheWorld]

Couple questions for you. Did the 2nd steak also wait in the bag for 24h or was it prepped same day vs the other steak? Also, is there a reason for only 24h dry aged? No pelicos or anything so does the actual dry aged flavour start to develop or is this more just a black garlic marinade in a way?

I did a bit similar once. Marinated a steak in sous vide vacuum bag with ~10 chunked cloves of black garlic overnight in the fridge before cooking them. Result - Too much garlic. Not horrible but its garlic... Treat black garlic just like raw garlic for the best results. Less is more.

I remember in an ad, a local steakhouse showed their steak being served with a whole bulb of roasted garlic. I think that is a good way to go. Then you can control how much garlic you get with your meat, like a condiment. Maybe that is how to best use black garlic with steak? Or perhaps just stick with roasted, since black is too sweet.
