The most amazing beef Steak with Gennaro Contaldo

[@murtazazaidi95]

I love this man so much. You can see the passion and love in him. Hes nearly in tears with joy after achieving that steak

[@leonie563]

Watched his cooking show with Antonio Caluccio and they said they knew of the Mussolini era in Italy when food was scarce. OMG 11 years old this podcast...where does time go!

[@HazelGrey.]

Why am i here.. Oh right its because it's in the middle of the night and im starving ugh..

[@Foc4ccin4]

[@nosb10]

gennaro is a true gem. his passion and ability to communicate his love of food are so endearing.

[@0121zero]

I love everyone complaining about his cooking. This guy ran one of the best Italian restaurants in London since the 60's! Lol He knows how to cook a steak.

[@andreamartins1595]

yeah, right. I was wondering why all the dislikes. People are sensitive when it comes to their steak:-)

[@DanielNessBRUH]

Exactly I can't believe how many people are trying to criticize him, I mean sure you can make a few tweaks with YOUR ONW steak but he is cooking for himself and surely he doesn't mind doing it HIS way not yours.

[@DrGanjameister]

Only thing I want to complain about is how rare that steak looks. Doesn't look medium-rare to me, looks much rarer. Nonetheless, I would eat the hell out of that steak as it is.

[@bigbrain296]

No, that is definitely medium rare, you can see in wikipedia.

[@jaydenherrera4177]

i love how people in the comments are telling this man how to cook. This man who's been cooking since before they were born. this man who's taught chefs all over london. guys. gennaro's been cooking this way for years-- he'll touch the raw meat and put his hands everywhere. it's fine. he's been doing it for years and he's not dead, so chill. wash your own hands.

[@samyou5535]

[@igkgigoh]

I like Gennaro's attitude, it's like "It's so easy, why are there so many people who can't cook?!"

[@NexusBreaker]

+Ostkreutz Rox His positivity is what made me have a look at what he has in store for me, and I definitely wasn't disappointed

[@jaydenherrera4177]

Ostkreutz Rox true so many people dunno how to cook because it is easy this wasn't something incredibly hard, people can make simple dishes that taste good

[@Elikers1]

because is EASY to scew up ... i love it !!!

what I like most is his everlasting GRATITUDE for whatever he cooks, he really enjoys and is happy to share, so don't fight all of you fighters, but enjoy and love it!

[@Arif-kw5rw]

@@Jason-ys5bq you can do anything you want but the chances of getting salmonella and other diseases are soooooooo much higher in those cheap, inorganic cuts. If you wanna eat Tartare, than you should go to a trusty butcher and get the best quality organic meat you can get (preferibly grassfed, but doesn't make too much of a difference). That steak looked incredibly high quality, for high quality meats, the rarer the better if you cook it, BUT if you wanna eat it raw you can

[@Bu77etProof]

I always love to see him enjoying what he's doing, really passionate cooking

[@darvhan1053]

Overcook a steak should be a crime punished by law. Gennaro's steak is a perfect medium rare steak. Here in Italy, specially in Tuscany, people use to eat steaks even more rare than that one, and none has ever died for that. Beef steak must be at maximum medium rare otherwise the steak will lost its juices (and its natural flavour) and its tenderness.

[@darvhan1053]

Hek Partner Yeah, I know it man! In Italy we called it "Carpaccio", it's a beef tartar flavored with parmesan, arugula and olive oil. I use to eat that and it's delicious ;)

[@Lorfmor]

seriously yes, a well done steak is so boring to eat it is ridiculous, dry and taste like nothing...

[@HMP53]

It'S rare for me, but still looking amazing.

[@howardchang6051]

It’s well done outside and basically raw on the inside. This is why u sear beef then finish it off in the oven, to bring up the temperature in the middle, I️ agree u cant over cook steak but I️ don’t like to eat raw meat either.

[@YD-uq5fi]

Well done is best.

[@TheDippyBoy]

He cooks with that enthusiasm that just makes it nice to watch him cook that beef steak.

[@ChileanC]

I really enjoy the italian music in the background. it suits it soo well and fyi fantastic steak.

[@9coolwhip]

I want to hire this guy as our private chef. OMG ! Love it all. Great series. Food and music is the best way to learn about cultures. Being Italian myself. I recognize most of Gennaro`s recipes. Everything has a personal touch as well. Love it.

[@guroemon1242]

Mr.Gennaro! you sent me paradise every day! thank la.

[@rousseau327]

I'm astounded at the number of people who still think a rare cut of steak is "raw".

[@gabbeat]

it's also the fact that he said ''medium rare'' which clearly shows he lack knowledge on this matter

[@YourEmperorStef]

Gabriel Denis He is a master chef, so he must have a pretty good idea of what he's saying.

[@gabbeat]

hes still wrong. hes not a master chef, he doesnt have any star michelin. hes a tv cook and hes entertaining to watch. not a master chef.

[@YourEmperorStef]

Gabriel Denis also, I don’t see how the title could have fooled me. Maybe there’s hidden text that says what I said.

[@gabbeat]

I am talking about his job title, not the video title. Being a TV chef doesn't mean you are always right.

[@HorseLover40000]

AMAZING. I have never tasted a steak (or steaks, I tried the other recipe with the anchovies and steak) this GOOD. The flavours just bounce in my mouth. My daughter is on the edge of being a vegetarian and she ate every bite. The flavours are divine lol. I don't get excited about many things I make, but if I can turn a cheap sirloin into a masterpiece I gotta say something.

"I made a brush, with a bit of rosemary" --brush is made out of rosemary*

Watching this guy makes me so happy! He's so animated and seems to really enjoy what he's doing. :) lovely

[@losermiyagi]

This cut of meat is called bistecca, it should be served medium rare, I do agree that Gennaro could have rendered better the fat on that steak, but about poking the meat, garlic skin, and dont let the steak rest before serving... I think, Since he is cooking on a balcony in Italy hearing woodpeckers, I really really think that he does not give a Sh%t for what you guys think ... just saying...

[@jamestames1505]

This guy is a genius... If you watch all his videos excluding the one in Jamie's Italian, you will realize Gennaro uses only (almost 95%) of the time, natural ingredients. Herbs, vegetables, fruits and meat at its purest form... That's why he's a genius. He may be Jamie's mentor but each has their own style. I like to cook using only the purest of ingredients...nothing fancy, nothing premixed... Cheerz!

[@TheRyskwic]

This guy is amazing, full of energy, and heavily passionate, i really respect him. But piercing that meat with that fork, makes my heart bleeding.

I would have cut shallowly into the fat so the meat doesn't curl and then rendered it for a minute by turning on the side.

[@alexnguyen3022]

Simple but delicious recipe. Why are you cooking so good, sir Contaldo?

[@judithmarianne]

Growing up in Australia I was taught to never use a fork to turn cooking meat on the BBQ. This will cause the juice to ooze out and the meat will dry. Always use a thong instead. Resting time is also very important. But hey...each to his taste & GC is amazing !

[@victornguyen7224]

Always use a thong instead. Okay then.

[@osasunam4887]

i think its a british error to have meat so well cooked, in spain we like the same as gennaro, british people cant cook

[@osasunam4887]

oh sorry, why dont i just talk about every single birtish person one by one? how stupid of me

[@i8myrice2day2]

the british don't cook their steak fully cooked, they cook it medium/rare like everyone else.

[@yonumpty]

Mikel m Someone who has never eaten a real British meal before cooked properly I am guessing. Half the comments about english food come from junk food, IE fish an chips, or cheap pub dinners. Versus say a nicely done beef wellington, which should be cooked medium rare. Thing is rationing of food was done into the 50's in the UK. So people had to cook what they had. Was no other choice. So getting fresh nice meat, or havng lots of choices of spices, herbs etc just didn't happen. So for about 30 years after that it was just a case of getting beyond those ways of eating. Now British food is sort of coming back to what it was, which if you look at more ancient recipes was heavily spiced and full of herbs etc. Can't say I would eat well done steak or lamb though. Has to be pink. Unless it's a tough cut at which point it should be slow cooked for hours to make it tender and thus cooked through.

[@Fletcher902]

Mikel m Talk about them one by one? You generalised them and talked about them as a nation. You said something stupid that has no evidence. I could say all Italians are cowards because they helped the Nazi's in WW2?

0:55 Oh! I canna heara da woodpecka! Awesome. This is a very well cooked steak! Butter? If you're French. Resting? The film is edited. Gennaro rocked this. Great video!

[@jaycw669]

Its a little too blue inside.. he didnt flip it on it's side to crisp the fat, didn't let it rest, poked it while cooking and therefore losing juices AND THEN he put it back on the cutting board where the raw meat was. Which may be fine but it's not best practice since everyone knows about cross contamination. Not to mention the amount of olive oil would make that one oily greasy ass piece of meat. NOT IMPRESSED.

[@abraham132100]

"blue" does not mean bad cooked

[@BlueCosmology]

It's perfectly good practice. It's a fresh piece of beef, there's nothing there that could make him ill. What? It's good practice to just avoid things that are perfectly safe to do for no reason over than if it was something different it would be unsafe?

[@IlDeimos]

jaycw669 there is nothing to cross contaminate, the raw beef that was on the board, is the same beef, it's just cooked. Besides, it's beef not chicken. If he had raw chicken on the board, then put the cooked steak on the board, then I could understand your point. But it's beef. You can actually eat beef raw and it won't don't anything to you. Just don't ever try to eat chicken raw, because eating raw chicken could kill you.

[@yoshiakishii204]

Hey keyboard warrior! Let's see you try to cook a steak better than his!

[@yoshiakishii204]

No one said that this is how YOU should cook steaks, but rather a way that he likes to do it, so your point is kind of invalid.

[@IittleEvil]

Cant stop watch his cooking videos!~!~! NEED MORE

[@NoivernMPA]

not and expert, but he shouldn't poke the steak with the fork to flip

[@999a0s]

NoivernMPA you dont lose much moisture by stabbing a steak. it's not a water balloon it's a piece of muscle full of fibers.

[@zirchsoft]

999a0s when you sear a steak, it starts losing juices from outside and some are pushed to the center. thats why steaks are being rested after searing, to allow the juices at the center to expand again. when you pierce a steak at the center, it will start to lose juice (and cook) at the center.

[@WormyLeWorm]

www.seriouseats.com/2013/06/the-food-lab-7-old-wives-tales-about-cooking-steak.html "It's like filling up an olympic-sized swimming pool with water balloons then throwing a needle into it. You may pop a a couple, but you'll hardly notice that they're gone." Debatable that it matters that much.

[@zirchsoft]

***** now imagine each water balloon having 15% of the total size of the swimming pool. poke twice and you've lost 30% of its water

[@josephguasco1170]

I can tell your not an expert because you can flip with a fork.

[@kimonthejourney]

Get your pan really really hot and give your steak a good sear, and you can't go wrong. Using the rosemary as a 'mop' is brilliant. Be sure to let your meat rest before you cut it.

[@BC21beats]

i think that's a little more than medium rare
