Steak: Filet, NY Strip, & Flank | Basics with Babish

[@Elchansan]

I feel like this video has a better balance between cooking sounds and narration compared to the previous experimental video. Much better in my opinion.

[@L17_8]

Jesus loves you ❤️ please turn to him and repent before it's too late. The end times described in the Bible are already happening in the world.

[@therearenousesrnamesleft6843]

i agree, this has much less "asmr energy" to it and i appreciate it immensely

[@HailTheRegent]

The audio in the eggs benedict video felt more like a gimmick, here it's a nice, unintrusive addition to the original formula

[@aryamansinha9309]

le slob be on my le knobbe @@L17_8 sous my boulle

[@JaySay]

Totally agree! This had a much better mix of music & voiceover, as well as the ambient cooking noises.

[@emfarce]

With the slower audio, these new videos feel like your older ones. Which is awesome, and gives them a nostalgic and simple feel; perfect for the Basics series. Hope you keep up this format!

[@2CHUNKA]

I think he's burning out. Lost the colour in his voice a bit.

[@Tacolord125]

I was subscribed to Babish years ago and then started to not like his videos as much so I unsubbed. Randomly saw this in my recommendations and clicked it and based on how he sounded, I thought it was an old video.

[@Homerow1]

Really like the quieter music, overall gives a calmer, more easily digestible vibe. Not so important for normal Binging episodes, but for Basics it's much easier to rewatch.

[@ameliajohnson266]

Same! Do you happen to know the name of this song? I wanna find it for a chill playlist I'm building for myself.

[@Spacialvekter]

@@ameliajohnson266 Did you ever find this song?

[@ameliajohnson266]

@Spacialvekter Unfortunately no. I'm not sure what key words to use to try to find it. He used to include the background music in the description of his videos but stopped doing that a long time ago. Have you had any success?

[@tdhsacademy9540]

@@ameliajohnson266 check the description he has a playlist!😊

[@kingpengu5027]

Your original steak basics with banish video is what got me into cooking, and after a long time I still use the recipes from that video to this day. THANK YOU!

[@coltonbaer5648]

This felt just like your classic videos in the original kitchen, I absolutely love that vibe

[@falkin42]

Except for the extraneous audio. Not at all like the old videos in that regard.

[@harambeexpress]

I guess it used to be about "cooking WITH Babbish" in a sense. It was much more like being in the kitchen with him than some sort of sitcom thing.

[@randomnumbersequence]

I like hearing the cooking/prep sounds (sizzling, chopping, etc...) and how soft the audio is. This format is very nice! And the steaks look so delicious. I'll have to try making some like this soon

[@Landmasters]

I'm with the others, the audio balancing here is much better. Again the audio for the red wine sauce helps distinguish how hot/crackly you want the pan to be upon insertion

[@anthonycarroll4877]

Much better format than the last basics video, the last one felt too slow for me. The audio mix is improved as well

[@user-qo1hy8dq3f]

I enjoy this new format. The slower, calmer narration makes the information easier to follow while the addition of the cooking sounds makes it seem like I'm there learning. I don't think it would work for binging, but is very welcomed in basics. the music is comforting, but a little distracting. overall, a very welcomed improvement

[@goosedamoose]

Really love the audio balance this episode, hearing everything sizzle is fantastic.

[@sethgaston845]

I'm really liking the subtle changes to the method of sound and narration. The nice ASMR-esque quality is soothing as well as engaging. Great video. 👏👏👏

[@ryanwilliams9667]

Nice balance of music in the intro, and real sounds while cooking. That's perfect.

[@josiahgosyne6495]

loved this so much. Felt like Babby really was teaching us the basics.

[@johnwalker6557]

I love this new format for Basics. Very informative and relaxing. Wonderful contrast to the upbeat-ness of the other videos.

[@Rosa_percs]

I like the calm and simple feeling this video has.

[@adambeck6070]

I love the new format, leaving all the sounds in. I'm a huge fan of cooking videos with no talking and just the sounds of the kitchen as well, but you can't deprive us of that voice.

[@Skylark0000]

It's probably been pretty hard not being able to do Binging videos but your solidarity with the SAG strike is noted and appreciated.

[@Calslock]

I just came back home from work, it's lightly raining outside, I made myself a cup of tea and sit under a blanket... This video is nothing less than perfect for such cozy afternoon, thank you 💕

[@diretitan9871]

The narration tone, and the pauses in between sound just like older babish. I love it!

[@alligatorbeans]

Presentation wise this might be the best episode of Basics to date. I really love this direction you’ve taken

[@redhondachic]

This format was perfect! I feel like the small adjustments you made from the last one were exactly what was needed. This was a great video, can't wait to see more!

[@user_i9]

More cooking sounds in the future, I love it.

[@Tybrarian]

I like the asmr aspect of the cooking sounds in the Basics series. It works well, and I'm not even a real asmr person. It's just relaxing.

[@kingkold1429]

Very nice video, every facet feels addressed and given attention. Between the music and the pacing, the sounds in the background, the voice over and the knowledge. *Chefs kiss*

[@rachelwhite8708]

If you did a whole video on the basics of maintaining and cleaning your kitchen tools (cast iron, stainless steel, wood, knives) with the audio sounds included, the ASMR would be off the charts.

[@joecauthon2988]

quite enjoy the little bits at the end where you tend to the cookware too

[@benfischer9907]

Hi, I really like when you are calm because it makes me feel calm. I am sending you a hug.

[@PoorMuddyRivers]

im happy to hear the chopping sounds and the gentle music is wonderful

[@anjulikamins6420]

What I really want is an audiobook version of you reading your cookbook so I can sleep through my PTSD at night. Your videos are so calming

[@xXRunDeathXx]

love the new more relaxed style!

[@salt-emoji]

6:30 also can add half as much baking soda as sugar, it's basically a pinch, but also helps encourage browning

[@RelaxingRestoration]

I prefer the old upbeat and humorous Babish. The last two were a little depressing. But I'll always be a fan!

[@Ben-mu7od]

Love this balance with kitchen sounds and voiceover

[@RedikTrios]

Loving the new format for Basics, real soothing to listen to.

[@ChopsTV]

I was pretty rough on your last video but I feel like *this* video captured what you were trying to do with your last one and I really enjoy it. The loveable Babish punchiness isn't lost in the calmer pace, which honestly... Im not sure how you did that but it's great.

[@kalefajita2722]

Audio was great, video length was great without being too much, and it felt more homemade. Loved it

[@nikoondrea1]

This video format is amazing. Most pleasant experience I’ve ever had watching a cooking video

[@mismlu]

I like this format much better for the basics series! So relaxing!

[@marciano98]

After this video I got so relaxed. the nice calm vibe in combination with the food is just simply perfect!

[@MikeOShay]

I agree with the consensus, audio mix and tone on this one is way better. Feels like a chill explanation without getting so deep into ASMR territory that it gets on my nerves

[@darrcel]

Loving the natural sounds being included

[@stevensather5911]

I read another comment, suggesting doing “Botched” in the more chaotic tempo. This is perfect for just teaching.

[@redcloak9916]

Love actually having some of the kitchen sounds in the video.

[@RomainTYS]

This sounds like a mix between a cooking video and an ASMR video and i'm REALLY digging it

[@2Wheels_NYC]

The last 30 seconds with Bar Keepers Friend is the best lesson here.

[@toniklemm1172]

Really like the kitchen sounds with the music and narration. So relaxing 😌

[@gwpeoples]

For flank steak: If you have an electric carving knife, use it! The twin serrated blades tear up the meat as they cut and make the pieces much more tender than with a normal knife.

[@BensBrickDesigns]

Bar Keepers Friend at the end, love it.

[@shannonwood9056]

I definitely like the combo of kitchen sounds and usual, humorous narration

[@lauranicol2706]

Nice touch to show how to clean the pan during the outro!

[@cooperskud6684]

This video timing is wild, literally 2 nights ago i was trying to find a babish video on cooking flank steak

[@dereklush9399]

Wow this is so deeply unnerving without background music

[@joshanderson412]

Loving this new calm vibe for Basics. Can’t wait for the cookbook!

[@mordi9286]

Yeah, I'm loving the more subdued audio and cookware sound effects.

[@amcconnell6730]

Reduce the wine before adding the stock. It's adding them together that results in an unpleasant purple colour, instead of a glossy brown colour.

[@_soothsayer_]

i never thought id see the day when we get steak part II but here we are!

[@ahmadhashmi1397]

This felt like old babby and I loved every second of it. Refreshing

[@machinegun20]

These type of videos is where I signed for years ago :)

[@timmydawkins616]

This video makes me feel safe I can’t explain it

[@TylerConway-b7d]

love the new more relaxed style!

[@bendavis5449]

Flank steak is my go to for fajitas. It's just perfect. Skirt is also amazing.

[@danielhelbig956]

This one’s an improvement on the last one which was …jarring to say the least. However, the music is for sleepy time, not fun kitchen time and the kitchen sounds complete with the dialogue. The classic format is definitely king. Great channel. Great content. No need to change.

[@danielhelbig956]

Spell check. The kitchen sounds COMPETE with the dialogue

[@SheyD78]

Steaks looked great, different but delicious. I like that you showed how to get the pan back to studio quality, nice!

[@marylandlax3]

I’ve been watching your content since you made the Aglio Olio, this is one of your best formats with a mix of the cooking and voice over in my opinion. Almost melodic in a way just listening, anyways cheers to you and everyone at the BCU who make such great and educational content, a genuine joy to watch ❤

[@ryaneasterling8945]

I'm a big fan of the audio changes!

[@cipriansjr]

Could we bring back the old basics? ASMR with Babish is no Bueno.

[@yriafehtivan]

Malbec and steak sounds like a fantastic flavor pairing, even if the color didn't come out right.

[@imperialbricks1977]

I really love how laid-back this video feels

[@Thee_Sinner]

I highly suggest Alton Brown's skirt steak method for the flank steak.

[@jayobrine999]

You should keep this style for all the things on the BCU, I actually couldn’t look away

[@twofacedmgrim]

Love the focus on the sound fx and the music sounds like minecraft and the steaks look a lot better on television then they do on mobile

[@OneFlufyBunny]

LOVE basics with babish. This is OG and it’s my favourite

[@Whispersteppe]

Your book comes out on my birthday! I going to have to get as a gift to my self.

[@therainmakerinsider]

Congrats on 10 million.

[@rudevalve]

Certified Gold!!!!!

[@morganbrasee5639]

Big fan of the new format

[@Spookyhelix]

I respect the desire to experiment - gotta keep it fresh after so many years! I enjoy the subtle end of the spectrum with cooking sounds, but if this is a new format staple, the mixing will need improvement. The last 2 videos have had bits where your voice is drowned out by searing meat, and the cooking sounds become distracting noise rather than a cozy backdrop. Combined with the more monotone delivery, this iteration feels like a hard pivot into the ASMR trend that mutes what I love about your channel/voice. But with experiments comes data, so I look forward to how you develop this refreshed style!

[@awesome_rossome]

This gives me hope that one day we’ll get Bread part II…

[@roadweary5252]

Loving the new format!

[@spiftable]

Is it weird that I thoroughly enjoyed the last 10 seconds of pan cleaning. 😅

[@carolinehatcher7908]

I loooooove the background music here, such a relaxing addition to an otherwise already great video :)

[@syllith3077]

Thank you Babish! I will be trying these techniques for my carnivore meals

[@AlexKasper]

Pan-searing, yes. But what about microwave-oven finishing the temperature? I read it's perfectly fine as long as there is a way for the moisture to go.

[@kidkazma5118]

Ah yes, Bar Keepers Friend. How I love thee.

[@kitrozon4422]

I prefer the no cooking sounds with the chill voice over and gentle music. It’s unfortunate this is the new format. The asmr thing has never been my scene. :(

[@Defilus]

Thanks as always, Andrew!!

[@JeremyWickham]

Barkeepers Friend is magic

[@samwell54]

Underrated cuts of steak: picanha , denver, flat iron Overrated: filet mignon, porterhouse the best cut is ribeye cap

[@Stefubi]

Someone’s sick 👀 feel better, Andy!

[@McNasty43]

Malbec also makes a FANTASTIC float for a whiskey sour.

[@vanessa1569]

I liked the last video where it was more ASMR-ish but I appear to be outnumbered in the comments. What they’re really saying is that they prefer your smart arsery to the natural, soothing sounds of a kitchen lol. Either way, a lovely production👍

[@finthefishsep20toma]

Perfectv timing for me to eat my leftover steak for breakfast and watch!

[@akashsingh7342]

The new audio format of the last few videos with lower music and ambient kitchen sounds has been very soothing to the ears. Feels like a music I can listen to all day long. Never knew I needed it in my life. ❤

[@SoggyBagelz]

Love this series

[@nerdynanny]

Instructions unclear. Added more garlic. Best food ever. 10/10

[@cjcaves4290]

amazing sound design in this one

[@hoser412]

I'm loving the new format. Also, I feel very bad that I was eating taco bell while watching this
