They all said THIS is why GREEK food is so good, so we tried!

[@haros2868]

Well as a Greek, I wouldn't call oregano "msg". Its not a flavor enhancer like salt, its herbs. Fresh oregano is too weak, but the dried is powerful. It needs very little. With beef I don't think its the best pair, its better for me at least for pork in charcoal, with lemon. Nothing like beef. With beef you get more tender and milky, buttery flavour, with pork, more aromatic, sour, salty one. Better for salads, seafood, you get the point, anti-milky.

[@jasonpettis4691]

He knows that people automatically click if they see MSG. The term is quickly losing all meaning on his channels.

[@grantlinnehan7853]

​@jasonpettis4691 Guga subscribes to Uncle Roger, so MSG just means Makes Shit Good

[@velvetnoir435]

As a Greek I told you this. Never put oregano at begging of cooking only when a steak is ready because oregano will be bitter. And you don't need to much. Just a little bit. Also if you have a Greek salad you need to put dry oregano on the top.

[@lmpeters]

You only need a very small amount of vitamin C to prevent scurvy. Even if your only source of vitamin C was french fries dipped in ketchup, you wouldn't get scurvy (although you'd likely have other problems).

[@papapritsos]

As a Greek I'm glad you tried this experiment. But I have a few thoughts to share that you might want to consider if you try it again. A big direct flame like that of the blowtorch might actually burn the oregano and introduce a bitter flavor, so in case you want to use something like that, you may want to add the oregano at the end. Also you were too stingy with the olive oil in the salad. The best part of χωριάτικη (folk) salad is dipping sourdough bread in it at the end. So next time add more oil and serve it in a bowl. Oregano on fries is fire too!

[@videostash413]

[@samirjones474]

As someone originally from the Middle East, I can tell you that we never eat falafel without fries and bread. In fact, 99 percent of the time, it’s served as a sandwich.. u missing the whole point of the falafel....Try it as a sandwich with plenty of fries, fresh tomato, and lots of sauce in a pita bread. You’ll experience the real taste of falafel.

[@themechanic9226]

The rule on fresh herbs vs dried herbs - if a recipe calls for dried herbs, double that amount if using fresh. The reverse is true: if the recipe calls for fresh, use only half that amount if using dried.

[@Ishlacorrin]

Except if you are NOT cooking it, dried herbs when not cooked have very little flavour and fresh ones have a lot. The cooking process leeches a lot of flavour from fresh.

[@MichaelDooble-m8k]

Except for basil and parsley, never use the dried version of those.

[@TT-sr4mu]

oregano 🇬🇷🇬🇷❤️❤️ I use it everywhere ❤

[@narfenmeyer]

Props to Guga making a tahini based sauce instead of the American tzatziki way to be authentic!

[@ajd3391]

Aren't they both authentic, and just different sauces? I know the one he made is really common in turkey more than Greece, but still in both countries of course. What an amazing food region

[@narfenmeyer]

@ I’ve only ever seen tzatziki in American gyros shops but I could be mistaken. I was raised on tahini and ate a lot of Greek cuisine so I got excited lol

[@johnlord8337]

Most spice herbs are in the mint family : peppermint, spearmint, mint, horse mint, basil, Thai basil, holy basil, thyme, oregano, marjoram, rosemary, balm, lemon balm, hyssop, etc. ... Sage is in a different herb family.

[@markiangooley]

Mexican oregano is in the verbena family but shares some flavor chemicals with oregano, so the flavor is similar to a degree to oregano’s.

[@joshwhite4897]

I've used oregano on many dishes I cook, including steaks occasionally. Love the flavor it gives, happy to see Guga give it a try :)

[@kellychicky7500]

Anytime I make a beef stew or vegetable beef soup I always add oregano. Blew my mind how good it was when I first discovered it! I ALWAYS stick to Frontier brand because they don’t irradiate or fresh if possible.

[@ExaltedDuck]

When I cooked for my parents, my mom couldn't take garlic. So for steaks, I would use salt, pepper, a light dusting of paprika and one other herb that I would change up. Usually coriander but sometimes Rosemary or thyme or you guessed.oregano. it worked well. I also recently on a whim made some chip dip with sour cream, balsamic, granulated garlic, and oregano (and of course a little salt and pepper). It came out pretty amazing.

[@terrancenightingale1749]

What I've noticed when drying herbs is that the herbs keep a LOT more of their flavor if you keep the dried leaves whole (so no crushing them until you cook with them).

[@georgecostan3248]

When grilling a steak, I've thrown a few sprigs of oregano, I have growing in my yard, on the fire. That puts some oregano flavor into the steak as well. 👍

[@ziggyzagg8264]

Guga. Please do a cinnamon on steak experiment. I accidentally seasoned my steaks with cinnamon once, and it came out extremely tastly

[@johndough8115]

If you are going to go with Oregano, you might as well add Thyme and Rosemary, to basically get "Italian Seasoning".

[@EllenTheArtist]

Yes, but this was more Greek style! As it implies on the title. We use oregano in a lot of our dishes, without thyme and rosemary.

You should do a steak challenge "every dry herb from the Supermarket. Which one is the best for steak?"

[@clementborisov7050]

I think what you basically did is a falafel menu, the only thing you were missing is the flatbread. I've had this where I live in Bulgaria as well as in Greece as we went there for vacation sometimes. Shame for people who never tried a falafel gyro.

[@geoffmckenzie2608]

Ok, now you're catching on, Guga. 😂 Look, dry brine your steak overnight as usual. Then add (smear on) thick balsamic vinegar, and grind on "Italian grilling spices" and let stand for ½ hour to hydrate the dry spices. Then grill to 135°F. Been doing this for decades.

[@joeterra.t]

Here's an idea: make a gyros from Wagyu steak and dump in that garlic sauce with some veggies. Watch Angel and Leo suddenly love veggies.

[@mangarang]

Proper falafel is either a blend of chickpea and fava beans or just fava beans. When it’s just chickpea it’s heavier than it should be.

[@videostash413]

For stronger fresh herb taste put it on diced at the end, maybe toss them into a melted butter, but don't boil them!

[@SkillSkull14]

Guga you need to combine water ageing with the koji rice and ginger tenderizing experiments during one water aging and one after with sous vide all together on eye round steaks I need to know also this is just a baseline for tenderizing eye round I’ve thought of based off what you have been doing but feel free to add more as a second experiment I really want and need to know you and your team’s thoughts on this experiment idea for eye round and how it compares to various filet grades up to maybe Australian wagyu

[@mathieufournier6484]

I would love to see a guys foods version of this. Butter basted with the fresh oregano and a compound butter version too.

[@syahibijalaluddin]

I wanna ask, because I not really know the reason behind it. But why do you prefer flamethrower on sous vide steak instead of charcoal?? Is it because the taste better with flamethrower?

[@matshjalmarsson3008]

Same problem as with the Garlic thing. The dried/pulverized batches contains so much more of it so it's not a really fair comparison. What should be done is take the same amount of fresh Garlic, Oregano, or whatever in two batches and dry one of them, and then use them, pretty sure you'll get a very different result.

For authentic Greek style grilled meat you dont want to use just oregano you use ladorigaridi (λαδοριγανη) its a mix of olive oil lemon juice and plenty of oregano, and if you want to go the extra mile with authenticity you baste the meat while grilling it using a bouquet of dry oregano as a brush. P.S you dont want to buy store bought dried oregano it is never the same you take fresh one and leave it to dry. 99% of store bought oregano is not naturally dried it is almost cooked the oregano loses a lot of aroma gets a little bitter and loses all of its "green taste".
