Do Pepsi next! lol jkjk

[@DerZiip]

So sweetness was the issue, now try phosphoric and citric acid. Food grade quality chemicals ofc!!

[@CrashBashL]

1 week. Then eat it.

[@SeanJunYanLiew]

Guga! try choice grade?

[@Ichkura]

you should see if the coke can tenderize a 1 $ steak or you should compare it to different sodas like sprite to see if it would give a steak a lime and lemon flavor.

[@zeratul____1228]

That would be an awesome experiment, I would be interested to see how pepsi does along with marinating with the many types of lemon drink flavours. Hell even seeing what happens when you marinate in energy drink would be interesting to see pan out.

[@angelfury16]

try this please

[@dra6o0n]

It will tenderize it but a lack of fat in cheap cuts means the only benefit you get is a sweet aftertaste and tender shredded pieces of beef. You might as well turn them into coca cola marinated beef jerky since jerky requires you to use lean and very low fat cuts to make. Cola is very useful for marinating large cuts of pork, so you don't need a smoker to slow cook it since the coke will tenderize it. Alternatively instead of using cola, use fitzer water or carbonated water for the acid level, but not the sugar level.

[@iulianmihaiivanuca5078]

Yup

[@perry92964]

you know you can do things like that at home for yourself i dont know if you can get a dollar steak but you can get a cheap one

I think we know what we need to see now: Coke-marinated $1 eye round steaks. Right after we see a 35-days dry aged rib roast in miso paste!

[@Promagix]

exactly what i was thinking

[@eichen97]

marinate, wash the coke off, and dry age them with salt (not too much, the steaks would be a little funky and falling apart by that point)

[@terrorfex1611]

@@eichen97 nah don't put the salt on. It would dessicate it and completely ruin it. I don't think dry aging it would work at all because the Coke would have destroyed the bonds of the steak's muscle fibers and allow rot to get in to each and every crevasse opened up by the Coke.

[@manankulshrestha9681]

@@terrorfex1611 you could dry age first. That would surely work. I wonder if that will be one of the most successful eye round(1 dollar steak) experiment. If guga does it.

Guga definitely gotta see this

[@jordanc8499]

I tried it twice. They weren't kidding, the sweetness is very apparent, but still good. 6 hours was enough to be very tender, but I dont think I'd want to eat steak that sweet very often. So the second time, I rinsed the stake off with water....pretty thoroughly. It helped cut down the sweetness a lot. I also followed up both with some corse salt and dehydrated garlic seasoning. Definitely recommend

[@flamerollerx01]

What if you used a knockoff cola that wasn't as sweet? I strongly suspect that would solve the problem for you. Also, you could use diet, but people believe too many myths about diet soda.

[@jordanc8499]

@@flamerollerx01 theres a reason people use coke instead of pepsi to clean blood off the hwy. Coke has a high phosphoric acid content and that's what's breaking down the meat. Not sure off-brand would work as well... worth a try if you can eat the cost of the steak that might not turn out. FYI - I did it again and really rinsed it off, running my fingers over the steak and in the cracks and crevices. Almost no sweet taste after that.

[@flamerollerx01]

@@jordanc8499 Good to know. Who knows about off brands, some of them could even work better, but I have no evidence for that. I do know that diet Shasta (available for certain in CA, definitely not available in TN. Elsewhere I don't know specifically) is far stronger tasting than diet coke, so perhaps it's more acid? Anyway, I am curious, how did that steak taste as far as beefiness? I would expect it to be less beefy and that's something to consider. Would beefier, but also sweeter be better? How might that interact with sweet sauces? I know many people refuse to use sauce with steak and that's fine, but I for one very much like sweet meat, primarily delivered by a sweet bbq sauce. I recently tried something that seemed crazy, but it worked out incredibly well. It wasn't steak, but a large pork chop and I seasoned it with salt, msg and curry powder! I have never had such a delicious pork chop in my life. I fried it in a pan to well done. I suspect results would differ greatly with steak, but maybe try it with some cheap eye round? That way you don't waste a good piece if you don't like the taste of the curry powder, or just do what I did and try it with a pork chop. I know I'll be using curry powder on meat again!

[@wiktormaek9973]

Actually check if the mix of sparkling water, phosphoric acid and citric acid will do the same without aftertaste/sweetness. You can get proportions from the bottle I think. Citric acid no problem to get, phosphoric acid food grade in my country is pretty easy to get also.

[@qritique]

[@wazupwolf106]

Very good idea, you could even repeatedly soak the meat or marinate after to remove any unwanted flavors

If you've never used it, definitely try a "shiso furikake". Furikake comes in a ton of varieties (since it's essentially just a rice seasoning blend), but shiso/perilla leaf adds a completely different level of flavor. Definitely one of my favorite random finds from when I lived in Japan and did all of the shopping and cooking for two years (and I know VERY little Japanese... lol).

[@lyconxero457]

I find it interesting that marinating the steak for one hour didn't impart really any of the coke flavor but definitely made the steak more tender. This reminds me of a recommendation that I'm not sure if Guga ever did where he marinates a steak in club soda but a neutral-flavored version as opposed to the lemon-lime flavor I believe he used in his test.

[@michaelb1761]

I think the thing that you really need to eliminate is the sugar. The only problem with club soda is no citric acid or phosphoric acid.

[@flamerollerx01]

I'm pretty sure you're referring to his sprite steak experiment.

[@Santibag]

If coke works so well, maybe just use the important ingredients: citric acid, phosphoric acid, carbonic acid. And you may even try them separately to see if one works fine by itself.

[@bigboot762]

I remember his sprite tenderizing experiment, it was less sweet IIRC.

[@mkllove]

While this was interesting and confirms things a lot of us have tried, doing it with a GOOD steak doesn't really work beyond novelty values. Of course it's still good after an hour, and for personal preferences beyond that... I've used this extensively with stir fry dishes with cheaper cuts on small pieces and it's excellent with 15 min room temp or up to an an hour or so cold in fridge. I'd like you to use this on OTHER cheaper steaks or even NON steaks. Carve up some chuck. rump and other cheaper cuts to different sizes and see how this improves the taste, and of course tenderness. Make enough extra to chop/grind/cuisinart perhaps (?) some of the beef into hamburger, or use in stews and stir frys. I've done some of this myself but won't give away the results so you can Guga !

I definitely think along with sweet Coke cola as a brine, you should add salt, bitter as in lemon peel or coffee grounds, and sour (vinegar, lemon) to balance the sweetness as chefs do. The final product will taste more natural to the palate. This would be a good test for equal parts flavor and tenderness. Also, a marinade after brining could include good quality beef stock to bring back more beefy flavors lost during the fat rendering (tenderizing).

[@boracengiz6321]

No

[@jons6834]

In looking at how these “disintegrated” , even with the 24 hour steak the individual muscles and fat stayed intact. I would guess that it was the connective tissue that was dissolved. Guga you could test this theory with ribs our a tenderloin and leave the silver skin intact.

@@Chayanta I guess he marinated it for 1-2 hours only. not a whole week.

[@johndough8115]

I do not believe Sprite has Phosphoric Acid in it... which is what gives Coke its most Acidically powerful nature. Meaning... Mere lemon / lime acidity, does not compare to the power of Phosphoric Acid. In fact, drinking way too much Coke, can start to effect ones bone density.

[@Twinspinner]

Of course I was taking a drink of coca cola, my phone autoplayed and started this video, and I hear Guga's first sentence start with "coca cola" and I almost spit my drink out 😂

My brother taught me to marinade steaks in dark soda and beer over 15 years ago. It's always been the secret additive ever since. Hour and a half to two hours mixed with whatever other additives work best, in my opinion. It works almost like a bit of molasses, and it tenderizes it.

[@jonathanwolfe2692]

In both at the same time or separately?

[@steadfastowl2786]

Do you use them in stages, or just one big marinade

[@GJSelect]

If you do leave it in there for a week you're going to need to change the Coke out because the acid will have reacted and there will be none left after around 24 hours ironically, unless of course you do a massive container full of it then you wouldn't. But you're probably going to want to change it daily anyway otherwise it's going to get gross.

[@cut--]

yep, there's some pretty gross YT experiments with coke =\

[@KoongYe]

In Korea, we use coke when making Galbi-jjim(Braised beef short ribs) to marinate the beef. It makes the beef super tender and juicy.

[@michaelmckinney9215]

Love your videos Guga! I have an idea for you to try. You could try freeze drying a steak, then rehydrating it by marinating it for 24 hrs.... might be good.

[@jazzy_taste]

This is the video I was expecting for so long! Coca-Cola dry ageing or spicing!!!!! You da best Guga!

[@justinpham2282]

It is not dry age but its disintegration

[@shirokanzaki15]

nah it's just marination... dry age is different

[@chrisroberts6121]

I want to see a steak completely dissolved. I feel like it might help Angel kick his soda habit once he realizes what it's doing to his teeth ;) I would also like to see DIET coke, if the aspartame or whatever artificial sweetener has a different effect than sugar.

[@lordyimo3014]

In Australia one of the best ways I have found for a kangaroo roast (can be rather strong or gamey) is put it in an oven bag with a can of coke (open it and pur it in) and a packet of French onion soup mix. When it's cooked snip the corner of the bag and use the juices to make gravy

[@austin6608]

Guga’s out here reinventing the rice crispy treat, and damn was that an improvement.

[@buhaypositiboPH]

What about you use Coca-Cola to tenderize a $1 steak?! Will it finally be as tender as a Fillet Mignon?

Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.

[@blessingamaechi9557]

I don't know who needs to hear this but stop saving all your money. Invest some of it if you want financial freedom..

[@JenniferCynthia]

@Andrew Not to worry. Try trading with a professional like Mr Charles Schwab

[@ronaldsmenendez196]

I think trading is easier with proper guidance, especially from a proffessional it really helps reduce the chances of running into losses. All thanks to Mr Charles Schwab He changed my life, I was able to pay off my mortgage

[@Jen-rp2yy]

Please how do I start trading with Mr. Charles Schwab?

[@amaechiqueen7517]

I'm happy to see Mr. Charles schwab mentioned here, my spouse recommended him to Me after investing $4000 and he has really helped us financially in times of COVID -19 lockdown here in Australia.

[@progambol]

All you need for this side dish is a masterchef. Oh sweet, I have one of those.

[@TARAROAD]

Fantastic video thanks

[@MikeHawke410]

I want you to know that because of that video you made with the steak marinated in fresh blended pineapple my moms and pops was hooked. 🤣🤣

[@carsonwieker]

Awesome! Incredible, cheers

[@abuturky4]

Ok, the 1$ steak is next Thats for sure I think this will make Guga’s dream comes true.

[@TheManhattanProjectWhiskey]

Watching these videos you realize there's no end to the ideas for what to marinate steak in.
