You could try putting some yeast extract in a vegan "steak" to improve the flavor profile. You need to hold it at a certain temp for a while to basically cause the yeast to explode into a great juice. Adam Ragusea has a video on it.
Technically it can happen at any temperature, it’s just that warm temperatures cause it to happen faster. Within winemaking, one technique is to do the same thing, but it happen at wine cellar temperature, so it takes like 6 months instead of a couple days. This is always done in Champagne, is common in red wines, and occasionally in bold whites like a barrel aged Chardonnay.

I had this idea where you layer the steak mixture and every layer brush on coconut oil with sodium alginate mixed in to it, then spraying a layer of calcium chloride to polymerize it. The resultant calcium alginate polymer holds onto the coconut oil and is remarkably similar in texture to the gelatine structure that holds fats onto your steak! Another idea I had was using some combination of tranglutamise enzyme in conjunction with legume protein or mushroom protein to create that sinewing texture that's really holding mosts vegan products back.

I was gonna say that sounds disgusting but then I remembered one of my favorite dishes is "yangrou chuan", or "charcoal grilled lamb skewers" from xinjiang china. And the best thing about the lamb skewers is the second last piece, which is a piece of pure fat; I ended up learning from a muslim friend that that fat is taken from a lamb's tail.
I'm curious if you would do a video testing out Seitan someday. It's another "vegan meat substitute" style concept made from wheat gluten that I've actually heard some good things about. Obviously nothing's ever gonna touch the real deal but I think it's interesting to explore and see what can maybe come close.
Its a fools errand to try to create a veggie source that tastes just like meat. My daughter is vegetarian and many of her meat substitutes are delicious and stand on their own. To expect it to taste like meat is setting good food up to fail.
@@dougspirityea that’s exactly it. I was born vegetarian, but being raised in the 90s, folks would find ways to put meat or lie about meat being present in food they gave me. That being said, there aren’t many meat substitutes that taste like meat, save a few that use mushrooms. But are they nasty? No, and at least some meat-eating friends of mine tend to prefer the meatless versions of recipes over the meat-containing ones.
@@dougspirit well, i want a alternative, that actually tastes like meat, and has the texture and smell of meat. The reason is, that i really love the taste and texture of meat, but firstly its not healthy to eat meat everyday in huge amounts, and also its not environmently friendly to eat a lot of meat. So i'd be happy to find some immitate, that actually tastes the same, so that I want to eat it instead. There are not a lot of foods out there, thar can nearly compete with meat in taste for my taste. I might be special, but i just cant understand,why it would be a crime, to want a alternative, tha actually would fool me.
Unfortunately, I had an encounter with a lone star tick years ago, and cannot eat red meat. I'm literally allergic to it. I have tried Beyond Beef, because I also love an aged steak. I have been trying to find SOMETHING I can eat that will be a fair replacement. I enjoy when you do a chicken dish, or something else that I CAN eat.
if you really want to mimic a steak, I would look for a recipe with VWG. It will never be the same, but it will be better than they made here. Goiod luck!
I actually eat a lot of impossible and beyond burgers because they're always reduced at the supermarket. I dont mind them. It's one of those things where if you eat the patty by itself, or if you try it side by side with the real thing, you'll know it's fake, but if you dress it up in a burger with sauce and cheese, you could fool a lot of people.
@@mrlikerdh think they're talking about how impossible meat and stuff like that is honestly highly processed,and has a lot more sodium than if you just eat meat in it's original form,since meat itself is good for you unless you become a goofy ahh carnivore

genius.. let's just put the real steak in the thumbnail, call it "i made a vegan steak for meat experts" and then actually just buy a cheap vegan burger from the super market.. totally not clickbait..
@@stinkyd4067 Nah the fake stuff is good. It’s a nice alternative to switch out if you don’t feel like having meat that particular day. The brand guga uses works amazing for meatloaf for example I buy it about as much as I buy regular meat
@Stinky D I prefer beyond meat to beef patties. I think I have a pretty good perspective on this as I started eating beef in my teens so I didn't have a bias. The texture is just... so much better with beyond.
Guga I have been cooking my steaks under a broiler since it’s winter and to my surprise it tastes so much better! I was wondering if you could do an indoor steak experiment to compare. Pan vs oven vs broiler. I did it and broiler was a killer for me
he had a searing competition on the sous vide everything channel a few years back where he tested what was the best way to sear a steak. He tested like 10 or so items and a commercial broiler was one of them.
@@Didenne It really depends on how nice of a restaurant it is. If we're talking about a diner, sure the cook should get over it. If we are talking about a Michelin star restaurant that specializes in beef, the chef should be offended. It'd be like asking Picasso or Monet to draw stick figures for your kid's birthday.
BY FAR the best steak substitue I have tasted so far the from THE GREEN MOUNTAIN. It's made to be a steak and nothing else and has a say better color and texture than other brands (like beyond or impossible). They are based in Switzerland tho I think so it might be a little tough to get your hands on. If you can I would really recommend redoing this experiment with it.
I’ll see if I can find it. I don’t care for Impossible because of the “fat globules”, and Beyond, you have to cook it very thoroughly, or you’ll get a bad stomach ache (I found out, after I had to leave a cooking class, and one of the staff mentioned this…😱).
“Hates vegetables” is such a hilariously juvenile attitude towards food that I don’t know how anyone with it even makes it to adulthood without tripping and falling onto a motorway because they can’t tie their own shoelaces
Guga, please invite Mark from Sauce Stache to do his very best to make a few different versions of his best Vegan steak. You're not taking advantage of all the tricks he knows.
@@aaron5847 I wouldn't phrase it as sauces and tricks, but Mark uses a lot of chemistry to achieve a favorable outcome. Ingredients like nutritional yeast for meatiness, mushroom powder for umami, beet powder for color, various ways of achieving meat-like fibers, methyl cellulose as a binder, etc. It's very creative, but obviously not natural.
I'd love to see a colab with Sauce Stache. They make vegan meats themselves, and always say it's very good, but I'd love to hear what you'd say about them.
Hi Guga, please dry age in edible dirt/ clay. It would be so interesting to see what tones and flavours it would give the meat! This is the 101st time asking btw.
Angel should try smaller cut vegetables. I didn't like vegetables either, i don't like tomatoes for instance. But tomatosauce i like. So i started experimenting with cherry tomatoes and sundried tomatoes chopped in small bits. Especially when i use a cream sauce (mushroom cream sauce for instance) the cherry tomatoes cut in half are a great addition, just a little acidity to cut through the creamyness. Oh and cilantro isn't a vegetable, it's an herb. so no need for Angel to discard that.
That's the problem with Beyond Beef. You can tell it aint real meat when eaten alone, but when it's with a bunch of topings or other flavors it's harder to tell.
Even cooking beyond or impossible meat on a grill so it picks up the smoke flavor and putting cheese and steak sauce and onions on top of these fake meat burgers and at best it taste sort of like you're eating really cheap ass dollar store burger and that's with the smoke flavor from the grill and putting cheese steak sauce and onions on top of it just to make it edible, and than after eating it you feel bloated rather than a satisfied full. That was my experience with trying fake meat. I'll stick to real meat.
@@ITIsFunnyDamnIT Literally nobody asked. Someone people don't want to eat real meat due to their beliefs. The second synthetic meat is perfected I will never eat from a real animal again.
The actual ground beef steak should NOT be pink inside. The potentially disease causing stuff is usually on the outside of a steak, so even if you cook it to rare, it's alright because any contaminants on the surface are killed. When you mince beef, the surface stuff is distributed throughout the meat. So you really should be cooking till well done everywhere.
There is a vegan Wagyu called Waygu that is amazing. I’m a meat eater and I LOvE it. I’d be interested in you experimenting with that. Edit: Also, Juicy Marbles has a whole line of vegan steaks. The Beyond/Impossible meats are good for ground meat things, but yes, definitely not steak.
Yeah, you are actually correct, the normal beyond meat just DOES NOT look or cook like steak, it DOES cook and look like ground beef though but cannot work as a steak. Then again, I do hope to see this technology improve, because once we can recreate meat entirely from plants, we would be able to manufacture meat extremely CHEAP.
@Guga Actually, I've tried the Beyond Burger but I had to make them twice. Why? Well, the first time, I did not stick to the exact cooking instructions and basically handled them like I would handle a well sized burger. It did not impress me. It wasn't bad, but not impressive either. However, the second time, I stuck to the exact instructions and I loved it. The only thing I did during my 3rd run is add more pepper because I love pepper on burgers, but that doesn't count as a 3rd attempt.
Beyond Meat works VERY well in McDonalds. I'm not a vegetarian, but sometimes I like to checkout these things, and when my area was a test market for beyond meat at McDonalds, I was extremely surprised. I really questioned if what I was eating was actually just beef.
@@DonCrowseppe They really aren't. I had the same experience in a Burgerking I think it helps that their burgers are already detritus, but beyond and impossible meat is passable in fast food.
@@DonCrowseppe Beyond meat burgers taste kinda close but not completely. Impossible burgers taste very close however to actual burgers, and I can tell the difference by comparing impossible burgers to real burgers, but I can be tricked sometimes solitary.
Beyond and impossible meat are pretty good. Not in the sense that you cannot taste the difference. You can. But in the sense that they taste good and have a good texture that fits well into burgers especially and many other dishes traditionally using meat. I eat meat but i still occasionally go for burgers with one of these just because they taste good and are something different. @@DonCrowseppe
That stuff is good for salisbury. But if you want to take it to the next level, you add layers of vegan lard/connective tissue in and around the vegan steak by borrowing a page from vietnamese "vegan roast pork belly" (heo quay chay) recipes. A mix of coconut fat and rice starch makes a gooey layer that does miracles for the texture test.
I immediately jumped down to the comments to see the war about calling this a "vegan" steak when it is absolutely infused with butter. YT did not disappoint. My stance is this: the taste test of a steak includes its cooking methods and seasonings. So even though the idea is to compare the two meats on an even playing field, that could only be done if you seasoned neither of them. This was like setting up a race against a bicycle and a motorcycle but trying to even the playing field by giving the bicycle an engine.
lol, would be weird to be vegan and be a fan of this chanel, i mean all the dishes have butter or some kind of meat (which is the point of the chanel) but in all fairness i wonder if they don't have like digestive problems or something, the nephew doesn't even eat vegetables in like a burger nor hot dog or something (it may all be a character)
@@santiagooehler I watched a video a while back that explained how fiber is basically necessary for digesting carbs, but not really necessary for digesting meat. Meat is pretty "fibrous" on its own.
@@santiagooehler He could be on a carnivore diet for his health, I am and know people who are, vegetables can be very bad for your health if you can't handle the fiber or have any trouble with antinutrients and plant toxins like oxalates.
I've tried some of these alternstives a couple times and I think it's important to note that theor cooking instructions can be fairly different-- one even stressed on the packing don't overcook it, presumably because it'd end up rather bad if you did.
The beyond beef is actually pretty decent, that coming from someone who is also a little challenged with vegetables, you really can’t say anything too bad, it really does taste nice, especially if you season it well!
Vegan meats are not designed to be eaten like steaks. They are made to be used in recipes with other ingredients, like your SIDE DISH! Even when used as a burger, vegan meats are being served on buns with toppings and condiments. You should do a side dish challenge where you make one version with ground beef and one with a vegan meat. I bet the difference is far less noticeable.
Would love to see you try some of the other vegan meats like Impossible burger or Juicy Marbles. The latter is a vegan Wagyu and it sells out all the time.
@@muddyblunts7187 I've had one, as a meat eater, they're not terrible. But if someone was vegetarian, depending on the seasonings, it could taste pretty good. Don't knock vegetarian food before you try it, unless they're trying to imitate meat. Instead of cauliflower steak, roasted cauliflower could be better said.
I really wanted to see your take on the famous and traditional "Bauru" here from Brazil. You owe this for your roots, man! C'mon! How would Guga make a Roastbeef for it? What cheese would he use?
GUGA, TU É BRASILEIRO KKKKKKKKKKKKKK MEU DEUS Eu já acompanhava seu canal a um tempo, e fui descobrir agora que tu é BR, e de Uberaba ainda. Sério cara, que fantástico! Sucesso sempre, chef!
@@markiangooley I've got an in-law that frequently serves them, but I can't share the enthusiasm either, so I'm really hoping for some creative advice to pass along...
Hey Guga check out "Juicy Marbles", they are the first vegan steak that actually has the texture (fibers) of steak. Would be interesting to see if Angel can spot the difference.
Beyond Meat Burgers actually don't taste bad, I often eat them but it's still on the low end of Vegan food. Vegan cooking can be pretty hard but I have seen people pull off some great things with it.
A way to get better color in the beyond meat is to use beets! They also add a bit more meatless due to their iron content. I use them in my tomato sauce/paste replacements, they might get rid of that.. yellow tinge to the beyond meat lol
That's not a Vegan steak! >_< You used butter (and you didn't specify that it's Vegan plant-based butter). I don't think you know what Vegan means! Misleading title.
I'm just waiting for the day that Guga does something vegan and cooks it, like... normally. Every time, whatever he's making always ends up an insane color, but if you cook these replacement products right, they just look normal! "Burger/ground beef replacement? Let me just smash it into a homogeneous hunk of 'steak' and overcook the hell out of it." XD
They might LOOK a bit more normal, but they neither will BE normal nor have a normal texture or taste. People can taste this trash anyway they want. If vegans are so obsessed with not eating normal food they should eat astronaut paste or baby formula and let the rest of the world enjoy normal food that's actually good.
You can do some washing and fancy pulling and knotting to the gluten steak that surprisingly closely mimics meat fibres. I made one to try it out and it actually basically passed as a meat product, and it was good. The best place for these seitan fake meats is in stuff with pulled meat like tacos. Making pulled seitan chicken taste and feel almost exactly like chicken is easy when you season it heavily and fry it like you’re gonna put it in a taco, and it actually tastes really good.
Everything looks great, Guga ! I do love steak but it's so expensive. I would try the Beyond steak. It looked good. I had the Beyond Whopper when it was out. It was ok, not bad. Not meat bud very much edible. Had a weird smell and after taste though
It's so clear: You want - but you can't say, it's bad. Beyond meat would instantly sue you. Luckily you have your nephew to help you out: "It's bad!" Right.
i tried it. Once only. Not tempted to try fake meat again. I am however, very curious about trying lab grown beef. Growing the meat without the whole animal goes back in Science Fiction to 1950 in the Space Merchants (though their example was chicken) Work has been progressing on lab grown beef but it is too expensive for me to try (as is Waygu A5). Perhaps you could do a show on it.
Because he's a picky manchild. Literally his preferences are meats and pastas. It was funny at first, but I still stand by saying it's starting to get old seeing him on videos that have vegetables be a key component to a dish/experiment.

You can't grill with an air fryer. It makes a mess and the steak ends up dry.
Check out his "Every way to cook a steak" video it's already in there.
@@edwardmarshall2035 if you make the crust first and then finish on the air fryer it isnt bad
@@Fairy-Uvinq crazy idea: sear it and finish it in the oven :)
@@alexsavutube what does that have to do with ther topic at hand?
I had this idea where you layer the steak mixture and every layer brush on coconut oil with sodium alginate mixed in to it, then spraying a layer of calcium chloride to polymerize it. The resultant calcium alginate polymer holds onto the coconut oil and is remarkably similar in texture to the gelatine structure that holds fats onto your steak!
Another idea I had was using some combination of tranglutamise enzyme in conjunction with legume protein or mushroom protein to create that sinewing texture that's really holding mosts vegan products back.

I was gonna say that sounds disgusting but then I remembered one of my favorite dishes is "yangrou chuan", or "charcoal grilled lamb skewers" from xinjiang china. And the best thing about the lamb skewers is the second last piece, which is a piece of pure fat; I ended up learning from a muslim friend that that fat is taken from a lamb's tail.

I'm curious if you would do a video testing out Seitan someday. It's another "vegan meat substitute" style concept made from wheat gluten that I've actually heard some good things about. Obviously nothing's ever gonna touch the real deal but I think it's interesting to explore and see what can maybe come close.
Its a fools errand to try to create a veggie source that tastes just like meat. My daughter is vegetarian and many of her meat substitutes are delicious and stand on their own. To expect it to taste like meat is setting good food up to fail.
@@dougspirityea that’s exactly it. I was born vegetarian, but being raised in the 90s, folks would find ways to put meat or lie about meat being present in food they gave me. That being said, there aren’t many meat substitutes that taste like meat, save a few that use mushrooms. But are they nasty? No, and at least some meat-eating friends of mine tend to prefer the meatless versions of recipes over the meat-containing ones.
@@dougspirit well,
i want a alternative, that actually tastes like meat, and has the texture and smell of meat. The reason is, that i really love the taste and texture of meat, but firstly its not healthy to eat meat everyday in huge amounts, and also its not environmently friendly to eat a lot of meat. So i'd be happy to find some immitate, that actually tastes the same, so that I want to eat it instead.
There are not a lot of foods out there, thar can nearly compete with meat in taste for my taste. I might be special, but i just cant understand,why it would be a crime, to want a alternative, tha actually would fool me.
I second this. Sometimes I have cravings for it. Such a unique texture. You'll get the glutards in an uproar tho 😂
It's chewy wet bread. Pointless stuff. I'd take a classic, honest veggie patty over it any day
Unfortunately, I had an encounter with a lone star tick years ago, and cannot eat red meat. I'm literally allergic to it. I have tried Beyond Beef, because I also love an aged steak. I have been trying to find SOMETHING I can eat that will be a fair replacement. I enjoy when you do a chicken dish, or something else that I CAN eat.
I thought that was a myth. My heart goes to you mate. May God give you a better life.
Doesn't AGS usually clear within 4 to 5 years? That's what this medical article tells me, though I guess it varies
if you really want to mimic a steak, I would look for a recipe with VWG. It will never be the same, but it will be better than they made here. Goiod luck!
Allergic? a fate worse than death, sorry for you bro.

I actually eat a lot of impossible and beyond burgers because they're always reduced at the supermarket. I dont mind them. It's one of those things where if you eat the patty by itself, or if you try it side by side with the real thing, you'll know it's fake, but if you dress it up in a burger with sauce and cheese, you could fool a lot of people.
You might want to only eat it occasionally stuff is terrible for health.

genius.. let's just put the real steak in the thumbnail, call it "i made a vegan steak for meat experts" and then actually just buy a cheap vegan burger from the super market.. totally not clickbait..
I really wish you'd done this video as a blind taste test between real beef and one of the meat alternatives (ie Beyond or Impossible) as BURGERS!!
So everyone can blindly tell how much the fake stuff tastes like dog food?
@@stinkyd4067 Nah the fake stuff is good. It’s a nice alternative to switch out if you don’t feel like having meat that particular day. The brand guga uses works amazing for meatloaf for example I buy it about as much as I buy regular meat
@@HaiRune why would you eat that when it has canola oil in it is horrible for you.
@Stinky D I prefer beyond meat to beef patties. I think I have a pretty good perspective on this as I started eating beef in my teens so I didn't have a bias. The texture is just... so much better with beyond.
@@TonyHernandez-wv5vi I don’t eat it for health reasons I just like the taste. If canola is that bad I can eat the impossible one

It would turn out the same. Vegan steaks are disgusting, including Beyond Meat. I tried it. Bleeeh.
@@gentlemanjim480Beyond Meat and Impossible are made for burger patties than steak, Impossible makes the most realistic burger patty I've see
Cows are vegan so I identify as vegan when I’m eating a steak.
Guga I have been cooking my steaks under a broiler since it’s winter and to my surprise it tastes so much better!
I was wondering if you could do an indoor steak experiment to compare. Pan vs oven vs broiler. I did it and broiler was a killer for me
In my opinion I think residential broilers don't get hot enough commerical one's definitely do. I would be interested in seeing that test though.
Does it brown? Cook evenly?
I think he did a video or two with the Blazing Bull broiler awhile back
He has a video cooking steaks every different way. I think one of them was broiled.
he had a searing competition on the sous vide everything channel a few years back where he tested what was the best way to sear a steak. He tested like 10 or so items and a commercial broiler was one of them.
So I am literally 20 seconds into the video and just saw the vegan steak lol and I can say for certain that NO ONE would mistake that for a real steak
oh i swear the first person to order a rare vegan steak in my kitchen is going down.
I'd just look at them with a stern look and politely say... GTFO. Also bc I'm a cook at a restaurant and I ain't cooking that! 😆
@@mars1072 which is absurd to me.. what kind of cook are you? A McDonald’s one? You’ve never cooked Indian cuisine?

BY FAR the best steak substitue I have tasted so far the from THE GREEN MOUNTAIN. It's made to be a steak and nothing else and has a say better color and texture than other brands (like beyond or impossible). They are based in Switzerland tho I think so it might be a little tough to get your hands on. If you can I would really recommend redoing this experiment with it.
just eat a cow
@@xelitecody5980 u eat a cow
I’ll see if I can find it. I don’t care for Impossible because of the “fat globules”, and Beyond, you have to cook it very thoroughly, or you’ll get a bad stomach ache (I found out, after I had to leave a cooking class, and one of the staff mentioned this…😱).

Guga, please invite Mark from Sauce Stache to do his very best to make a few different versions of his best Vegan steak. You're not taking advantage of all the tricks he knows.
that would be an amazing collab
@@ketameanii yeah, Mark has several methods for creating meat-like fibers in his vegan steaks
I second that!
if you have to use sauces and tricks to make it taste good then it doesn't actually taste good
@@aaron5847 I wouldn't phrase it as sauces and tricks, but Mark uses a lot of chemistry to achieve a favorable outcome. Ingredients like nutritional yeast for meatiness, mushroom powder for umami, beet powder for color, various ways of achieving meat-like fibers, methyl cellulose as a binder, etc. It's very creative, but obviously not natural.
I've actually been wanting to see guga try this. Partly to see how good he could make it and partly to see angel's reaction lol
I'd love to see a colab with Sauce Stache. They make vegan meats themselves, and always say it's very good, but I'd love to hear what you'd say about them.
"It's bad!!" 😡😂😂😂
You should have tried a vegan hamburger. I suggest the one from pablo's revolutionary quinoa one
I have had a bite in Mcdonalds and that was not as bad as I thought it would be..
Hi Guga, please dry age in edible dirt/ clay. It would be so interesting to see what tones and flavours it would give the meat! This is the 101st time asking btw.
The side dish still had green in it!
I'm from India, a vegetarian.I feel so lucky to be born in india.Vegan meat seriously.Paneer(cottage cheese) a better option
Back with the lion meat I see
Angel should try smaller cut vegetables.
I didn't like vegetables either, i don't like tomatoes for instance. But tomatosauce i like.
So i started experimenting with cherry tomatoes and sundried tomatoes chopped in small bits.
Especially when i use a cream sauce (mushroom cream sauce for instance) the cherry tomatoes cut in half are a great addition, just a little acidity to cut through the creamyness.
Oh and cilantro isn't a vegetable, it's an herb. so no need for Angel to discard that.
That's the problem with Beyond Beef. You can tell it aint real meat when eaten alone, but when it's with a bunch of topings or other flavors it's harder to tell.
So you need to mask it is what you're saying
@@flameguy3416 Pretty much
You can mask a turd and make it tasty to
Even cooking beyond or impossible meat on a grill so it picks up the smoke flavor and putting cheese and steak sauce and onions on top of these fake meat burgers and at best it taste sort of like you're eating really cheap ass dollar store burger and that's with the smoke flavor from the grill and putting cheese steak sauce and onions on top of it just to make it edible, and than after eating it you feel bloated rather than a satisfied full. That was my experience with trying fake meat. I'll stick to real meat.
@@ITIsFunnyDamnIT Literally nobody asked. Someone people don't want to eat real meat due to their beliefs. The second synthetic meat is perfected I will never eat from a real animal again.
The actual ground beef steak should NOT be pink inside. The potentially disease causing stuff is usually on the outside of a steak, so even if you cook it to rare, it's alright because any contaminants on the surface are killed. When you mince beef, the surface stuff is distributed throughout the meat. So you really should be cooking till well done everywhere.
There is a vegan Wagyu called Waygu that is amazing. I’m a meat eater and I LOvE it. I’d be interested in you experimenting with that.
Edit: Also, Juicy Marbles has a whole line of vegan steaks. The Beyond/Impossible meats are good for ground meat things, but yes, definitely not steak.
I do wonder how well a juicy marbles filet mignon would hold up taste wise to a similarly priced cut of meat.
Wow that actually looks pretty similar to meat even has fibers! thank you for pointing that out, it's pretty cool!
Yeah, you are actually correct, the normal beyond meat just DOES NOT look or cook like steak, it DOES cook and look like ground beef though but cannot work as a steak.
Then again, I do hope to see this technology improve, because once we can recreate meat entirely from plants, we would be able to manufacture meat extremely CHEAP.
@Guga Actually, I've tried the Beyond Burger but I had to make them twice.
Why? Well, the first time, I did not stick to the exact cooking instructions and basically handled them like I would handle a well sized burger. It did not impress me. It wasn't bad, but not impressive either.
However, the second time, I stuck to the exact instructions and I loved it. The only thing I did during my 3rd run is add more pepper because I love pepper on burgers, but that doesn't count as a 3rd attempt.
Beyond Meat works VERY well in McDonalds. I'm not a vegetarian, but sometimes I like to checkout these things, and when my area was a test market for beyond meat at McDonalds, I was extremely surprised. I really questioned if what I was eating was actually just beef.
Stop lying
@@DonCrowseppe They really aren't. I had the same experience in a Burgerking
I think it helps that their burgers are already detritus, but beyond and impossible meat is passable in fast food.
@@skilletborne not it's not
@@DonCrowseppe Beyond meat burgers taste kinda close but not completely. Impossible burgers taste very close however to actual burgers, and I can tell the difference by comparing impossible burgers to real burgers, but I can be tricked sometimes solitary.
Beyond and impossible meat are pretty good. Not in the sense that you cannot taste the difference. You can. But in the sense that they taste good and have a good texture that fits well into burgers especially and many other dishes traditionally using meat. I eat meat but i still occasionally go for burgers with one of these just because they taste good and are something different. @@DonCrowseppe
That stuff is good for salisbury. But if you want to take it to the next level, you add layers of vegan lard/connective tissue in and around the vegan steak by borrowing a page from vietnamese "vegan roast pork belly" (heo quay chay) recipes. A mix of coconut fat and rice starch makes a gooey layer that does miracles for the texture test.
"My nephew hates vegetables" proceeds to make meatballs with green vegetables 🤣🤣🤣 great job
As a vegan i appreciate your effort for that experiment
Where. Is. The. Sauce Stash. Collab? This would have been the perfect chance!
Dude i came here to post this too! 🤦 My bad. Yes this would have been a perfect opportunity for a Collab
RIGHT when I saw tht title I was like OH SauceStache is gonna make the steaks, right?
I immediately jumped down to the comments to see the war about calling this a "vegan" steak when it is absolutely infused with butter. YT did not disappoint.
My stance is this: the taste test of a steak includes its cooking methods and seasonings. So even though the idea is to compare the two meats on an even playing field, that could only be done if you seasoned neither of them. This was like setting up a race against a bicycle and a motorcycle but trying to even the playing field by giving the bicycle an engine.
Love how the other 2 guys hated it but tried to be diplomatic about it to save the vegan fans' feelings😂😂
lol, would be weird to be vegan and be a fan of this chanel, i mean all the dishes have butter or some kind of meat (which is the point of the chanel) but in all fairness i wonder if they don't have like digestive problems or something, the nephew doesn't even eat vegetables in like a burger nor hot dog or something (it may all be a character)
@@santiagooehler I watched a video a while back that explained how fiber is basically necessary for digesting carbs, but not really necessary for digesting meat. Meat is pretty "fibrous" on its own.

I've tried some of these alternstives a couple times and I think it's important to note that theor cooking instructions can be fairly different-- one even stressed on the packing don't overcook it, presumably because it'd end up rather bad if you did.
I would argue most food goes bad if you overcook it. Just imagine a Steak cooked all the way through.
The beyond beef is actually pretty decent, that coming from someone who is also a little challenged with vegetables, you really can’t say anything too bad, it really does taste nice, especially if you season it well!
This is the beginning of a "Beyond Meat" Guga series. Cannot wait for v2.0 when the next recipe upgrade gets discovered lol
Vegan meats are not designed to be eaten like steaks. They are made to be used in recipes with other ingredients, like your SIDE DISH! Even when used as a burger, vegan meats are being served on buns with toppings and condiments. You should do a side dish challenge where you make one version with ground beef and one with a vegan meat. I bet the difference is far less noticeable.
Vegan meat tastes so bad that I need to use other stuff to hide it. Fixed that for you
Would love to see you try some of the other vegan meats like Impossible burger or Juicy Marbles. The latter is a vegan Wagyu and it sells out all the time.

Nooooooo guga! You were the chosen one! You were supposed to defeat the beyond meat - not join them!
🤣🤣🤣
His reviews are "edible", "not bad". He tried them, but it does not feel like he really joined them.
The goal is to join them, they just need to make a really good replacement that is identical or close to identical of real meat
@@vitzveer Have you seen his videos? Dude goes ballistic over the food
Guga and especially Angel are definitely smacking down beyond meat, not joining them wkwk
Beyond Meat Burgers actually don't taste bad, I often eat them but it's still on the low end of Vegan food. Vegan cooking can be pretty hard but I have seen people pull off some great things with it.
A way to get better color in the beyond meat is to use beets! They also add a bit more meatless due to their iron content. I use them in my tomato sauce/paste replacements, they might get rid of that.. yellow tinge to the beyond meat lol
That's not a Vegan steak! >_< You used butter (and you didn't specify that it's Vegan plant-based butter). I don't think you know what Vegan means! Misleading title.
THANK YOU GUGA I’VE BEEN ASKING FOR THIS FOREVER 💕💕💕💕
You find out nothing replace a nice medium rear steak !
@@ramonininininia rear steak? Ew
I'm just waiting for the day that Guga does something vegan and cooks it, like... normally. Every time, whatever he's making always ends up an insane color, but if you cook these replacement products right, they just look normal!
"Burger/ground beef replacement? Let me just smash it into a homogeneous hunk of 'steak' and overcook the hell out of it." XD
They might LOOK a bit more normal, but they neither will BE normal nor have a normal texture or taste. People can taste this trash anyway they want. If vegans are so obsessed with not eating normal food they should eat astronaut paste or baby formula and let the rest of the world enjoy normal food that's actually good.
You can do some washing and fancy pulling and knotting to the gluten steak that surprisingly closely mimics meat fibres. I made one to try it out and it actually basically passed as a meat product, and it was good. The best place for these seitan fake meats is in stuff with pulled meat like tacos. Making pulled seitan chicken taste and feel almost exactly like chicken is easy when you season it heavily and fry it like you’re gonna put it in a taco, and it actually tastes really good.
Everything looks great, Guga ! I do love steak but it's so expensive. I would try the Beyond steak. It looked good. I had the Beyond Whopper when it was out. It was ok, not bad. Not meat bud very much edible. Had a weird smell and after taste though
35 days dry aged vegan steak next!
Old peas, yum
just grind some dry cat food.
It's so clear: You want - but you can't say, it's bad. Beyond meat would instantly sue you.
