Hey Guga, I just wanted to point out that the mic you are using while thanking the sponsors sounds very strange, don't know why but just wanted to say it. Love the videos though, really wish I could try some of the amazing meat you cook.
These knives are chinese junk they sell for a huge markup so they can easily give out free replacements when there is an issue which increases their reputation and increases their marketing by word of mouth which costs them nothing. It's quite clever. You can go on aliexpress and buy these same exact knives without the ugly logo stamped on them for a third of the cost.
The reason the sous vide brisket doesn't have the same pull apart tenderness between the muscle fibers that the traditional smoked brisket has is due to the fact that it was cooked lower than the threshold of collagen breakdown in the meat. The reason smoked brisket's turn out the way they do is because in the upper 160s to 200 degrees, the collagen in the meat breaks down into soft gelatin which adds to not only the perceived moisture of the meat but also the fall apart tenderness. Interesting experiment as always Guga :)
Brisket (and chuck) can go 48-60 hours to get a little more tender but still have a nice meaty texture. I've never pre-smoked or -seared before using the sous vide, I've always gone in the other direction. In fact one tip I'd advise is to sous vide your large cuts (I've done this with corned beef and ribs) a day or two in advance and then refrigerate or even freeze the cooked meat, then finish at low temperature on the smoker until just back to med-rare in the center. The cold meat gives you plenty of time to develop natural bark and smoke flavor while keeping the center nice and pink, and the cold/moist surface absorbs smokey flavor even faster than a warm roast.
I'm in the hospital with a broken shin and imploded knee, it's my birthday today so this video was a perfect little birthday present. Thanks for the entertainement over the years and the distraction from whats going on in my body right now is sorely appreciated. Your our own everyday hero, keep up the good work :)
Please do a video or series on the best ways to use the off cuts or the bag juice. You always say it's crazy to throw away and what it can be uses for. But i've never seen a how to use them video.
It’s amazing how much your channel has changed and how you have grown in your technique. I watched a brisket video from 3 years ago, where you smoked it for 3 hours and then Sous Vide for 62 hours. I do have to ask though. Would you still give that brisket in the video 3 years ago a 150 out of 10 rating today? I really enjoy your channel as I am always cooking something. My smokers are running every chance I get and sometimes that every day at 14-16 hrs a day , a week at a time. My Sous Vide is my second most used next to my smokers. Once I learned Sous Vide. I haven’t looked back. Thank you for the insight and for helping me broaden my horizons.
Guga: “On every cut of meat you ever see me cook on this channel I use the dry brine method.” Also Guga: “I don’t need to dry brine this steak because it’s Sous Vide.”
Guga I am so happy to see that you don’t let anything go to waste. When it comes to brisket making videos, I remember watching Franklins’ tutorials and being completely shocked with hos he would just throw away all the trimmings!
I have tried to find one of these and have never been able to. I think normal eye of round has a good beef flavor. I can imagine how good a well marbled Eye would be.
That isn't possible. Eye of round can't develop the necessary intramuscular fat to get the A5 rating because the muscle works too hard. Certain cuts cannot get the A5 marbling score.
@@karanaima it does but i dont think they sell it then becauss they think not many people would buy it compared to the Tenderloin etc and maybe they eat it themselves.
Great video. I also tried SV brisket for a few times in the same way of smoking->SV->flamethrowing. I found that medium rare is perfect for the flat, yet not for the point as it'd taste better when its intermuscular fat gets rendered. So I ended up with separating two muscles so as to cook in different temperatures.
I made this today, but only smoked it for 1 hour. First let me say that I am usually not a fan of brisket as it always seems to be tough, stringy and overcooked. This was just the opposite. I was a perfect medium with a great crust; thanks to my su-vee gun. It had a great smokiness, with a nice smoke ring and awesome flavor, and was super tender. I will definitely be adding this to my next barbeque! Thanks Guga.
Guga, you have helped me develop my own Sous Vide style/skills. I openly accept that it takes a few cooks to find the time/temp that works for MY Tastes. Personally, I love to Sous Vide Brisket (with a lot of the fat on it) for 72 hours at 133 degrees. Then I hit it with the smoker for 1-3 hrs depending on my time. Then I use the Sous Vide Gun to give it some more crust if it needs it, and especially to Torch the FAT Cap... But I love that you can take the Brisket from the Sous Vide bag, and plop it in the smoker, and you don't have to pat it dry. And it comes out with a wonderful aroma, texture, and look. It eats like a steak, which is what I am shooting for! With great flavors...
Tried kobe wagyu eye round before (because I couldn't afford the other expensive parts). It's a wonderful taste, however the texture is not like butter as described, more like normal medium rare kind of tenderness.
Hi Guga! I’m getting a Sous Vide for Christmas. I’d love to see a Sous Vide “basics”, as in “everything you need to know about Sous Vide in one video” type thing. Great content as always, the brisket looked amazing! Hope you’re well & staying safe :)
Idea: Thin slices of the sous vide brisket on top of thick cuts of pork belly on a bun with cheese, pickles, onion and a sauce... Inverted bacon cheeseburger steez
Gotta say, you dummies trash-talking the Texas Crutch don’t know shit. While it helps the meat hold moisture, it also (more importantly) allows flexibility with wood. You do not want to smoke with woods like hickory or mesquite for long amounts of time because it becomes overbearing, so the crutch dampens that smokiness. That said, you maintain the same wood profile. You’re only other option is to use charcoal and lumps of heavy-wood, and I would argue charcoal is much more of a “crutch” than aluminum foil.. I appreciate charcoal with burgers and steak, but using it with brisket is sacrilegious outside of hot-and-fast.
This channel has changed so much since that one brisket one back in 2017. Look so much buffer and w=everything. From video quality to food quality. Went from good to ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
Guga, I have done this experiment before and I recommend switching the sous vide and smoke steps. Sous vide it first and then smoke it. You get the tenderness of the sous vide and the smoke flavor without making it too powerful. Obrigado pot seus videos. Boa sorte meu irmao
Man! You are my favorite TH-camr of all time. Fantastic food, professional videos, smooth comedy, and everything I need to see! Watching them for years and loved them all. Also, the improvement of your videos during these years is so impressive. Cheers bro!
So nice this video!!! I really enjoyed it and it’s nice to see mamao with guga that is the best prof of loyalty! I wish you all the best for both of you!
It is not easy to cook a good brisket to the point where it is tender but not dry and has a good bark. The FIRST ONE is only the start of a long journey. Hold back on the beverages enough to concentrate on the meat.
Hey Guga, thanks for your great videos. After watching your videos, I have three requests for future videos: - Please try some other cattle breeds than wagyu and American beef. - How do you clean all your pans and other cooking ustensils so they continue to be so shiny ? - Please cook a foie gras in a terrine using sous vide. And yes I'll repeat those requests often. ;)
I'm convinced that Guga calls family members over like" hey,I'm cooking", and then the fam gets,there hungry as shit,then when they get inside, cameras are on lol I'd be mad waiting to eat while he's talking lol
Hi Guga!! I have to recommend a Greek traditional recipe that is so good, its called frigadeli! Here is how to make it: You cut a beef liver at small pieces and you season them with grated garlic, parsley, salt and black pepper(we also add a little bit of kefalotiri which is a hard cheese, you can use parmesan maybe but its optional ). Then you put in lukewarm water (not hot) some lamb caul fat until is tender. Then you take each piece of liver and wrap it with the caul fat. Put them in wide skewers and grill the in direct heat. I reccomed you to try it with some cold beer!!!
Sounds fine! I use specialty butchers and overnight shipping; even so, finding caul fat from any animal is difficult/not possible in the USA unless you go directly to an artisan processor.
@@jamesellsworth9673 I mean Guga can find pretty much any meat he wants from his meat dealer. I am sure if he order lamb caul fat from him it shouldn't be a problem.
Guga was right, everybody in the world loves getting a knife as a gift. You should have seen the smile on my two year old nephews face when I gave him his new dalstrong knife!
Guga, you often smoke meats on your channels. What wood do you use? Do you consistently use the same wood type, do you blend them, do you use different wood types based on your preference at the time or use certain types for certain meats?
Today I suddenly had a disturbing thought. I imagined Guga playing in a horror movie where he is a serial killer who kills his victims by burning them with his flame thrower, using his signature line "I know she doesn't look that good right now, but watch this!" *guga bursting into manical laughter and screams from the victim*
This is exactly why I watch your videos …. I will use your advice to cut the smoke time down for my own Sous vide brisket of love…..you did the test work so I can impress my family …. Thank you from wayyyyy up north in Saskatchewan Canada
Try that again in reverse. First do sous vide then smoke it after. You’ll probably get the result closer to what you were thinking it was going to be, medium rare brisket rather than smoked pastrami.
I have been cooking brisket this way for the last two years after watching your vids and putting a spin on it. I smoke for 4-6 hours low temp and sous vide for 72 hours. Might be worth doing longer it would "fall" apart in my experience. My wife likes smoke but not real smokey and she does not think it is too smokey.
Quite a few years back after doing the smoke sous vide medium rare brisket I've never turned back. It cuts like the best steak you could have. I will say though you'll want to cut the cap off after and let that cook a bit longer to render the fat a bit more.
Hey Guga you probably won’t see this but I would love to see you cook deer meat, I hunt and I think it’s one of the best meats ever, the tenderloin is amazing and backstraps, love your videos
I've done several smoked brisket and that were finished in the sous vide. They are always tough compared to the smoker only version. Good flavor- just tough.
Sous Vide Everything: I recently watched a video on the Aden Films channel showing a "lean wagyu" cut of meat. I commented that "lean wagyu" sounds oxymoronic. Turns out that it was a "wagyu rump steak," which explains the leanness. And the chef had to tenderize it before putting it on the grill! Please test whether a wagyu rump steak is better than an angus rump steak. More tender? Tastes better? I want to know, but I cannot afford to test it for myself.
Guga could you please do an indoor brisket video for all of us who don't have a smoker? I have never ate brisket, and I'm dying to try it after watching all yout mouth watering videos!!
I kind of want to go on a pilgrimage to meet you. Also, glad to see Dalstrong is sponsoring you. I kind of wish you'd do another video on your knives. :)
Firstly, I love all your videos / recipes, even though I don’t cook them I just love watching you love a great meal, secondly could we please get a Wagyu Tom and Jerry steak please, on either of your channels I’m interested to see how the tenderness changes with the added inter muscular fat
This is how I’ve been cooking mine. I’ve done 20 hours SV on the flat and it’s so juicy! Half of it comes out more like a smoked brisket, the other half is pink...
Guga, can you please make a vid where you go in detail for things to do with trimmings and such? It's not like I have a magic wand to wave to turn it into tallow or something, and I doubt that that's the only thing to do with it.
One thing I've learned: if it does not smell good when it comes outta the bag, do not eat it. Unless you're filming for TH-cam, then have someone else eat it
Great video Guga. I always dry brine now thanks to you. Could you try a dry brine experiment with different salts? Like with garlic salt, onion salt, truffle salt.. maybe MSG? Keep up the good work friend.
Compare with standard professional quality chef knife which is around $200 or a Japanese knife can get to around $300-400. If you want a decent (but not professional) quality knife, check out victorinox knives which should be around $50. Anything cheaper is going to be a crap Walmart knife
If you skip the branding, warranty, boxing, saya, and trinkets; you can get basically the same crappy Chinese knives much cheaper. -They do look impressive though.
0:35 Have you done a video on what you do with the leftovers? How much do you mix the trimmings with another beef (and what beef do you mix with the trimmings)?
Thank you Dalstrong for sponsoring this video. Get some amazing knives here dalstrong.com/pages/guga to get 10% off some amazing knives!
Hey Guga, I just wanted to point out that the mic you are using while thanking the sponsors sounds very strange, don't know why but just wanted to say it. Love the videos though, really wish I could try some of the amazing meat you cook.
Will you make cheese soup with every meat and cheese?
Will you please try waygu eyeround?
Try tossing some loose leaf teas with some steaks sous vide. Something like a smoked tea might work great.
What about the point Medium Rare? Was that the same texture of the smoked flat or was it more steak like
I'm so happy about knife sponsorship. Because I like seeing knives and Raid Shadow Legends absolutely doesn't make me interested.
Go buy one then
Well i'm always happy to know guga is making good money, as long as he is making fat bank off youtube we'll get content

What would happen if you sous vide at a higher temp for a shorter bit of time?
You da man!!!

Please do a video or series on the best ways to use the off cuts or the bag juice. You always say it's crazy to throw away and what it can be uses for. But i've never seen a how to use them video.
Look up his video on making ramen, it's a great way to use collected bag juice.
Honestly saved bag juice sounds gross. It’s easy to render tallow or grind the soft fat into burgers.
@@ytreece while I agree bag juice sounds gross, it is essentially concentrated broth. using it makes complete sense.
I freeze mine and use them for cooking soups, bean's or rice.

Texas "crutch" not Texas "crunch". It's a "crutch" because it makes it a bit easier on the Q'er to get a moist product at the end.
You could also call it the texas cheat but yeah calm down kurt
Yeah calm down kurt
I can't wait to use the Texas Crunch on my next brisket.
Gotta say, you dummies trash-talking the Texas Crutch don’t know shit. While it helps the meat hold moisture, it also (more importantly) allows flexibility with wood.

That said, you maintain the same wood profile.
You’re only other option is to use charcoal and lumps of heavy-wood, and I would argue charcoal is much more of a “crutch” than aluminum foil.. I appreciate charcoal with burgers and steak, but using it with brisket is sacrilegious outside of hot-and-fast.

- How do you clean all your pans and other cooking ustensils so they continue to be so shiny ?
- Please cook a foie gras in a terrine using sous vide.

Guga! Try Koji rice the right way: Blend with water first (oatmeal consistency) bag with steaks in fridge for 3 days. Turns out way better!!
The reason it didn't get super soft is because beef collagen starts breaking down at around 160 degrees F. Brisket is full of collagen.
Thanks Guga! I'm really hoping to get a Sous Vide for Christmas so I can try some of your amazing experiments too!
Come on Guga, you gotta try some kangaroo man, its nice, lean, rich and tasty.

Hey Guga you probably won’t see this but I would love to see you cook deer meat, I hunt and I think it’s one of the best meats ever, the tenderloin is amazing and backstraps, love your videos
I've done several smoked brisket and that were finished in the sous vide. They are always tough compared to the smoker only version. Good flavor- just tough.
Sous Vide Everything: I recently watched a video on the Aden Films channel showing a "lean wagyu" cut of meat. I commented that "lean wagyu" sounds oxymoronic.
Turns out that it was a "wagyu rump steak," which explains the leanness. And the chef had to tenderize it before putting it on the grill!
Please test whether a wagyu rump steak is better than an angus rump steak. More tender? Tastes better? I want to know, but I cannot afford to test it for myself.
Just ordered a Crixus from Dalstrong as a late Christmas present to myself. So excited.
7:56 What kinda sound was Guga making lmao
I will have to try this experiment. Always enjoy the content keep up the food science!
I love how juicy these big pieces of meat are they are a waterfall I bet u you can only eat this alone and be full and have your thirst quenched
Guga could you please do an indoor brisket video for all of us who don't have a smoker? I have never ate brisket, and I'm dying to try it after watching all yout mouth watering videos!!
This channel should be called Sous Vide & Flame Everything :D
Guga's 3rd channel.... "Flamethrower everything"
Sous vide and I know it doesn't look that good right now, but watch this everything
I kind of want to go on a pilgrimage to meet you. Also, glad to see Dalstrong is sponsoring you. I kind of wish you'd do another video on your knives. :)
I like to think that guga’s house is full of meat being sous vide , inside his fridge and being brined
Firstly, I love all your videos / recipes, even though I don’t cook them I just love watching you love a great meal, secondly could we please get a Wagyu Tom and Jerry steak please, on either of your channels I’m interested to see how the tenderness changes with the added inter muscular fat
I am far from a chef, believe me, but maybe cook it sousvide first, then smoke it for 2 hours??
He has done this experiment and he came to your same conclusions
Hey o Sous Vide Everything, watch your videos all the time and then cook/get motivated. Really glad you are making videos.
Thanks a lot.
You need to make "Nicely And Deeply into the meat" merch 😂
This is how I’ve been cooking mine. I’ve done 20 hours SV on the flat and it’s so juicy! Half of it comes out more like a smoked brisket, the other half is pink...
You know they always sell brisket steaks at regular grocery stores. That’s so you didn’t have to buy a whole brisket. Also smoked brisket is king !!
Guga, can you please make a vid where you go in detail for things to do with trimmings and such? It's not like I have a magic wand to wave to turn it into tallow or something, and I doubt that that's the only thing to do with it.
I bet at this moment you guys are still chewing that medium rare brisket lol
That pure Guga giggle that Covid can’t take away @ 10:30
One thing I've learned: if it does not smell good when it comes outta the bag, do not eat it. Unless you're filming for TH-cam, then have someone else eat it
Great video Guga. I always dry brine now thanks to you. Could you try a dry brine experiment with different salts? Like with garlic salt, onion salt, truffle salt.. maybe MSG? Keep up the good work friend.
Guga: "Good knife not for a fortune"
Me checks website and sees knifes for over $100. Okay
For real 😅
Compare with standard professional quality chef knife which is around $200 or a Japanese knife can get to around $300-400.
If you want a decent (but not professional) quality knife, check out victorinox knives which should be around $50. Anything cheaper is going to be a crap Walmart knife
Mercer is a more affordable brand with a good quality for the price they go for.
If you skip the branding, warranty, boxing, saya, and trinkets; you can get basically the same crappy Chinese knives much cheaper. -They do look impressive though.
2nd David Graf - Mercer knife is my best/favorite. I think maybe $20?
Pro-tip (I have done this) Cure a brisket like you would for pastrami, but then smoke it like a normal smoked brisket. It's awesome.
Instructions unclear, my house is on fire.
damn bro you got the whole squad laughing
I still can't come to terms that this is a channel purely dedicated to sous vide
Sounds like it would make a killer sandwich on a crusty roll with some horseradish sauce and grilled jalapeños!
I was thinking the same exact thing as I was watching. From the way they described it, I was thinking it could be the ultimate deli meat.
Thanks dude, this point of suos vide smoky just gave me a new inspiration.
*Q:* What's the world's happiest dog?
*A:* _Guga's!_
0:35 Have you done a video on what you do with the leftovers? How much do you mix the trimmings with another beef (and what beef do you mix with the trimmings)?
Did he say “Texas Crunch”, lol?
Your content is always consistent and amazing. Thanks for everything.
