This Trick Will Make Your Meat 10x Better

[@thatdudecancook]

In regards to Better than Bouillon (my preferred brand) it does work you only need to turn the heat down a little as it contains some more sugars than Knorr.

Marco Pierre White would probably use Better Than Bouillon too, but it's an American product that's probably impossible to find in the UK. Knorr (Marco's preferred) is a German company and distributes worldwide. You gotta use what's in your backyard.

BTB is the bomb. When my wife first started using it I took a tiny it stright from the jar and spread it on a piece of bread from a rustic loaf I made. It was like marmite/vegemite but with a little less funk and a whole lot more salt. I wouldn't recommend it unless you put on the thinnest of schmears.

Stock cube stuff aside, watching Marco’s videos has made me a much better home cook. He has so many useful tips that can actually be applied by an amateur. For example I used to just quickly brown ground beef than drain it; after watching MPW I cook it for a good 15 mins until all the water evaporates and it starts to fry. The difference is crazy.

In Mexico, chicken or beef bouillon has many uses as a salt for frying and searing meats, soups, gravies, rice, etc. It makes salsas taste SO much better! The secret is that it contains MSG, which is why it is so flavorful.

I have a specialty item I make sometimes, I have never seen anyone else make it and I would love for you to give it a try! I call it ultimate "baked in" chili dawgs. It's a chili dog baked into a brioche bun . First I make a brioche dough, and I make sure to let it rise twice for extra fluffy buns. Then to prep, I take some extra thick chili and pipe it on to wax paper in the shape of a hot dog, then freeze it. Second, I get a bun length all-beef Frank and butterfly it open so I can fry the flat side getting a good sear on it! Third, I roll out some dough a little more than twice as wide as the butterfly'd hot dog. Place a small strip of American cheese, followed by the hot dog with the flat side up, then some mustard and a stick of frozen chili, sprinkle a good amount of dehydrated onion flakes and a fat pinch of pepper jack cheese. Lastly, I fold the dough up and around over everything sealing it very well and bake at 325 for about 13 minutes, or until golden brown. If you sealed everything up good you get a fully contained chili dog grown in the bun naturally

[@lellyt2372]

Sounds amazing and very adaptable. For example, my son hates chilli but you could make a thick meat sauce with Italian flavours instead and make a "pizza" Brioche 😀 thanks for thr inspiration

[@tonyawhitten5199]

I have been using bullion powder as a seasoning for years. I have not mixed it with the oil so I will have to try it. I also use chicken broth in place of water when I am cooking rice or vegetables like green beans or collards. ( being from the south I add chopped ham pieces or hock) I love flavor!

[@SamBrickell]

I like doing this. Just FYI for anyone considering using this as a dry-brine. The best way to make sure that you know how much salt you are adding (which is important for brining) is to calculate how much salt you will need. Then look at the nutrition label on your salt container and calculate how much sodium that will be. And then look at the amount of sodium in your bouillon and do the math to figure out how many grams of bouillon to use. (So if you have 200 grams of food and want 2% of salt, check the amount of sodium in 4 grams of salt. And then use however many grams of bouillon equals that amount of sodium.) Actually I guess it's worth just memorizing that salt is 40% sodium. So take the salt % you want, multiply by .40. And then use however much bouillon you need to equal that amount of total sodium.

[@olliebuck5243]

idk if you’ve done ribeye stew before but ribeye is a cut that definitely lends itself more to being rare-medium rather than slow cooked. you’ll end up with dry chunks of beef with long tough fibers. you want a tougher cut with more connective tissue for stew, like chuck or ribs.

[@horticasey]

@@seb4376 while I appreciate the sentiment, I know what I'm doing. Definitely not taking it to full length braise as I would with chuck roast. If anything, it'll be a stew with ribeye added to it.

[@UncleKauffee]

@@seb4376 agree completely. Ribeye is a total waste for a stew. Not that it won’t be great… It just costs so much more than chuck and chuck is ideal for stew, whereas rib meat is not. Especially the further from the chuck that you cut it. These are just facts. His stew would be just as good if not better by using chuck, and would cost a lot less. Then when it comes time to grill, you still have that ribeye that you didn’t put in your stew… or you can start grilling your chuck steaks. Wakka Wakka

[@TalonSilvercloud]

I use Better Than Bouillon when I'm braising meats. Most notably, if the recipe calls for tomato paste I mix in some with the tomato paste. I find it takes away the tin can flavor AND punches up the meaty/umami flavors. Dry brining a steak, I use a bouillon cube and seaweed powder. That's if I'm out of Uncle Rogers favorite MSG.

[@NuGundam_]

Seeing this is kinda crazy because I recently discovered on my own that adding knoor bouillon powder to just regular ground beef before draining the grease helps retain a lot of flavor. It kicks even the simplest recipes up a notch. Since doing that, I always find a way to include bouillon in my meat seasoning. Complete game changer.

[@Kmurray9244]

Helpful tip... Thanks to the M.P.W. method... Buy a nice tri-tip on sale... Then you can use butter, avacado oil or a fine olive oil; I prefer clearfield butter... With better than bullion mixed in( desired salt and taste required some adjusting) Coat the tri-tip and cook it low and slow in your oven, basting often with the fat-bullion mix.. To desired temp!

The bouillion on the sear does give it more flavour, I really like that you gave it a fair trial. Just would like to state, that for many cheap brands the msg is carrying this flavour and once you recognize this favor, which is very distinct, intense but not the same as just meat n' salt I tend to dislike it. Because it always tastes the same. There are no nuances nor does the quality of the product matter much. I base that on the restaurant where I did my training, the chef liked to use a certain bouillion to enhace the flavor of soups and they all tasted too similar to me. The taste experience is in that order: Tasty, umami, salty, creamy and then the flavor of the actual ingredient hits you, like potatoe, chestnut or mushroom. But it's what the guests wanted so see for yourself if you like it, it's worth a try. Thanks

[@34thncrenshaw]

best cooking channel on youtube bar none. the fridge is one of the key parts. now lets go!!!!

[@sadiegirl5312]

Been watching you since the beginning…and you are a wealth of valuable information! A “ KICK “ to watch, as ALWAYS! Love ya, Dude.

[@michaelabell8963]

You answered my question. What about dry brining? I’ve made it a standard practice for any planned cook. Only way to go. I’ve never used bouillon though.

[@ItsRhaego]

Hell yeah! Merch! Just ordered the “and I’m out” shirt. Super excited! Love you man!

[@Opa773]

Are the pork shops go in the oven and for how long ? What is the brand of the ham past ?

[@anitas5817]

Steak and pork chops (especially steaks) just don’t need as much added flavor as chicken breasts. So I’m glad to know how much difference the bullion made for the chicken breast. Chicken bread really needs help to taste good to me.

[@PoeLemic]

Thanks for sharing this technique. So easy to do with home-cooking and within your normal daily routine. Glad that this works for any of those proteins. Very easy way to up your skills.

[@billmcdonald4335]

I've been doing this to my proteins for a while. It really makes a difference. I use Knorr or Oxo powdered. Flavour and browning are just better.

[@nikooooo7584]

You seem to really be hitting a new level with your content and enjoying it

[@lisawest9731]

Well, here goes!! I used olive oil and Knorr chicken bouillon (that's what I have) on a pork tenderloin. Chef Marco has been a favorite for much of my life, let me thank you for putting this into my head! Bon appetit! I only added pepper and a little rosemary.

[@rodneypratt4324]

My wife has been using that exact same bouillon for years and we love it. Most recently I use it in my Chicago style roast beef:-) :-) if you know you know keep up the good work chef

[@unPHILteredNBA]

as a newbie... after the sear.. what temp would you put it into the oven and GENERALLY how long?

[@wolfman011000]

Knorr also make ham stock cubes, lamb stock cubes, vegetable stock cubes and fish stock cubes. The ham and lamb ones are good when used marinade on meat, or in stews. Vegetable stock cubes are good in soups and stews, never thought to try vegetable cubes on meat but we may give it a go. We have not tried the fish stock cubes. As an FYI Knorr also make 1kg tubs of bouillon paste under the Knorr professional branding, one word of caution they make a chicken boullon and a roast chicken bouillon as well as a vegetable bouillon and a clear vegetable bouillon so make sure to select carefully to get what you desire.

I use Goya chicken bouillon. The flavor is phenomenal, and it comes in powder packets so you don’t have to mess with cubes.

[@derbigpr500]

As a Croatian, I have to laugh at all these people discovering this now, we've been using a similar seasoning mix (which I think is the best in the world and I'm not the only one) called Vegeta, it makes meat 10x better, or anything else for that matter. It's like these bouillon cubes, but more natural and nicer tasting.

[@brandonsorensen7216]

The fact you pay attention to the amazingness that is Jordan keeps me around for so much longer and I was already hooked

[@nickdude114114]

Definitely going to be trying this! Did you find the saltiness level from the bouillon was similar to the control meats? Those things do have a ton of sodium in them

[@viviannedelavega605]

What temperature was your oven on for the chicken the pork and the beef thank you very much. Love your show.

[@PoeLemic]

Thank you for showing us this, Sony. We are wanting to find ways to cook at home and save money, and so we are learning from you. Well, this is our second watch, because Wife is watching it this time. And, she said that's going to be so easy for her to do. We can't wait to try these different methods. If I remember (today is 04-12-2024), I'll come back and tell you in future comment.

[@cchamilton1985]

Love the video. Bullion is mostly MSG and salt, no surprise it's more delicious.

[@martijnknoester3387]

Been using bouillon powder in marinades for decades, I can strongly recommend it!

[@jimchallender4616]

Going to try asap - need to get a Portable Butane Stove Cooktop. I use Counter Top Induction mostly and don't think my 12" All Clad will work for your bullion recipes the coil size on all Induction is 6" and won't heat evenly/completely How long does the Butane bottle last when cooking at medium heat?

[@scottev954]

I've never thought of using bullion this way, but I'ma try it, thanks!

[@naturalfinish]

approximately how long are you cooking the meats in the oven after searing? and at what oven temp typically? thanks for the great videos

[@gaelleg7083]

What oven temp for the pork chop and what internal final temp, please?Thanks :-)

[@stephanieilluzzi7355]

OMGGGG where have you BEEN all my KZbin-watching life?! New, drooling subscriber! 😋😋😋 On to Amazon to buy my BTB! 💖💖💖

[@Ronsino.]

As always, love the content Sonny. I can't wait to try this in my kitchen, not a trick that I have been introduced to beyond your prior video which this was mentioned briefly.

[@tonyc379]

I usually dry brine my steak (anywhere from an hour to 24 hours) would you recommend the boullion INSTEAD of dry brining? Or in addition to?

[@larrysioxson2567]

Is the Bullion seasoning method recommended for smoking proteins as well? How would shrimp flavored bullion do on fish or lobster tail?
