Why my steaks are BETTER than most!

As a regular viewer of yours, I truly enjoy this new video format. Instead of being for entertainment, it is for educational purposes. Just like a real chef! You should definitely do more videos like these!

The two biggest things I've learned from Guga that have elevated my steaks is high heat to get a good crust and properly seasoning the steak. I used to just salt my steaks 10-15 minutes before putting it on the grill. Now, I get the salt on (and plenty of it) at least an hour before, if not longer. That's the big elevation.

Tried this method for the first time tonight. I’ve tried Gordon Ramsay’s method several times, and several other chefs. But this is by far the best way to get the right crust, and the perfect done-ness. The texture and flavor were incredible! Highly recommend.

Salt cooks, pepper burns. Also, everything keeps cooking another ~10 degrees after you take them off the grill, so removing at 135 will have then go up to about 145 while resting. I remove steaks around 125-130 for medium rare.

FINALLY! I've been waiting for a cooking tutorial video! I actually just bought the rub so finding out not to add it before cooking is a really good tip. PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THESE

*English is not my native language* I must say that although I can't cook almost 98% of the recipes you teach. I can't deny that I love your way of explaining things, and well, this type of video seems to me to be the best thing you can do. Since although many of your recipes are simple, there are details within the preparation that perhaps many people do not understand

Steak and eggs for breakfast is 10/10 though

Glad to see this type of video again. I miss the days of just Guga in his backyard or at the office showing us how to cook food better. The experiments and everything are fun, but my favorite videos are the ones that help me cook better food for my family.

I am SOOOOO happy you made this channel! I don't think I would have every eaten steaks before watching your other channel, now I get to learn how to make them great! I really appreciate these videos and hope you continue to make em!

Guga, please keep these instructional videos coming. I’ve been watching this and your SVE channel from the beginning, and I think this is some of your best content to date. So informative and entertaining at the same time. Keep up the good work!

I love videos with more instruction. That's what we're here for. You are the reason I've started buying whole cuts of beef instead of individual steaks. Cut my own steaks make them my own way. Your method of salt, pepper and a little bit of farcical powder is something I've done my whole life. Start with good meat and use less seasoning. But plenty of salt. Seasoning all sides is something I picked up from you. Let me tell you, my steaks went from That's a damn good steak to Holy Cow! That's the best steak I've ever had. Thanks Guga!

We sure want more videos like this one Guga!

You can TRUST the Guga.

Thanks for sharing this, it’s awesome (and your steaks always look incredible!). I’ve known about the hot/cold zone for indirect heat but have never seen someone rotate the grate like you did. As soon as you showed it, it made perfect sense - we want the steaks to be cooked by the heat from the fire, not the heat that has been captured by the grate. Unless you want specific grill marks - but this method gives you lots of control over that!

i love this format. i wish there's one for indoor cooking method with this kind detail description

Dude. How did I not understand about rotating the grill to PREVENT burnt marks when you first put the steak on the grill? That's such a good tip and so obvious now that I see you do it, but I never figured it out! Thank you Guga

A very informative and overall great video, thanks Guga!

Man Guga, you guys have come a long way from a few years back and it is wonderful. I wish you more success in your future endeavors and I hope to continue learning from your videos.

Definitely like the educational aspect better. Entertainment is great, but learning how to cook better food is what I'm chasing personally. Great to have a mix of both styles... but really appreciate this new format. Thanks Guga!
