    Pickles always go well with bbq. It's also great to marinade chicken in pickle juice, the questions is. Does that also apply to Steaks!? We find out by doing an intense challenge to see if this is a good idea or a bad one.

    In Germany and Austria, there is a traditional dish called "Sauerbraten". It is basically a big piece of beef (some regional recipes use pork) brined in vinegar brine with spices for at least several days and then cooked as a roast. The brine is then used for preparing a sauce.

    I'm going to have to try this with some homemade pickle brine. I work in a really hot shop and a little pickle juice when I get home helps prevent cramps, so I make jars of pickled stuff. Usually it's cucumbers, carrots, onion, cauliflower, turnips, jalapeños, and eggs, with the usual pickling spices and a bundle of dill. Obviously the brine takes on a lot of flavor from the vegetables, but I have to wonder how much those flavors would come through after cooking.
    As an aside, I used purple cauliflower in my latest batch, and it turned the whole thing barbie pink. The coloration even soaked all the way through the eggs to the yolk. It still tastes the same, it's just incredibly pink this time.

    I've got an experiment for you to try! So my apartment does not allow BBQs or smokers or anything of the sort, so outdoor cooking is out of the question. I've been wanting to do some smoking lately, and I have oven smoked before (package the chips in tin foil, heat them up to smoking and then put them in the oven with your meat in a large roaster) but I needed the chips and I've been dragging my feet.
    Then I noticed I have some cedarwood essential oil. "This couldn't possibly work could it?" I thought to myself. So, being a brave Guga fan that I am, I picked up all the basic fixings and made some smash burgers on my cast iron. After letting the meat brown for about a minute on one side I added two drops of the pure cedarwood oil and covered the cast iron for about 3 minutes to trap in the cedar vapor. After it looked like the smoke had mostly settled or escaped I removed the lid, continued to sear the one side (steam prevented it from browning too much further with the lid on) The flipped and added some American cheese to finish it off.
    So many things could have gone wrong. I didn't expect the cedar flavor to come thorough since one usually smokes for hours. If it did, I figured it would more likely taste acrid. If not, would cedar even work as a flavor? You usually use it for salmon. Would the steaming/smoking portion of the cooking ruin the burger? Everything that I could find suggested it would be fine, but the cedarwood oil was meant for a diffuser, not cooking... would it kill me?! Would my persistent anxiety ever let up?!?
    Let me tell you though, it was the best burger I'd ever made. The flavor was noticeable but not overpowering. It was this BEAUTIFUL buttery, nutty flavor that complimented the burger so well. I'd love to try it with Hickory oil some time, but I honestly have trouble imagining it being better than this.
    But I have no comparison for this! I'll probably try oven smoking at some point, but how does it compare to a proper smoker? I'd love to know if it's anything like liquid smoke, but I kind of refuse to buy the stuff. Not sure if there are any other smoking methods...
    Help me Guga, you're my only hope!

    So, when Guga said he drinks pickle juice... I do that too, but almost exclusively when im sick and have a sore throat.
    The flavor and salts are easier to keep down when im feeling nauseous, and the vinegar helps to kill the bacteria that form on the raw part of your sore throat which worsens the condition and makes it take FOREVER to heal up.
    It's best not to leave the acidity on your throat though, as in lower concentrations for some reason it actually aides the growth of the very bacteria you're looking to kill off.
    So I usually finish it off with chewing up a chewable antacid (which also helps with the nausea).

    Hi Guga, I have a video idea for you. I recently learned that snacks that use MSG sometimes also contain Disodium Inosinate and Disodium Guanylate (aka DSI/DSG or I+G) to enhance the effect of MSG by 20x-30x stronger (for example, Doritos, Pringles, KFC, Snyders Pretzel Pieces, Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing, etc).
    From what I’ve seen, some people buy a 50/50 premix of DSI and DSG (for example, by the brand Make It Meaty) and then make a custom mix of 97g MSG and 3g DSI/DSG to make an “enhanced MSG mix”.
    I was thinking the experiment could be this:
    1. Steak + Salt Pepper Garlic (control)
    2. Steak + SPG + MSG
    3. Steak + SPG + MSG + DSI/DSG
    Then maybe you could do a mini test with maybe another meat like chicken or maybe a potato based side dish or something, so we can see how it works with and without the MSG+DSI/DSG.
    I can even see the video title already “Food scientists say THIS makes MSG BETTER!”
    Anyways, I hope you give it a shot!

    You essentially made a steak version of a German roast: "Sauerbraten". We usually do that to Beef now but it's traditional with horsemeat to tenderize the meat of a working horse. To the brine you also add wine and spices. Then after two to three weeks you take out the roast. Give it a crust. Then add the brine onions and a kind of gingerbread and raisins to the sauce. The roast must be completely covered. Then when the roasts done you remove it slice it and puree the sauce.

      In the south of the Netherlands, we have "Zoervleis" or "sour meat", which is a stew or hachee traditionally made of horse meat. Never realized the vinegar was supposed to tenderize the tough meat if a working horse!
      We also have "rabbit in acid", which sounds like it's preparation is a lot more like Sauerbraten, also probably because wild rabbits use their muscles a lot

      Came to comment this as I just brined Sauerbraten this week, then saw this comment immediately upon scrolling down.
      I usually leave it in the fridge for 14 days, but ofc. depends on the thickness of your roast.
      And yes, usually I use beef as I get quite a lot of beef every 2 months from relatives that have a farm here, but every now and then I buy horse roast from a horse butcher nearby. The difference between both isn't really as big as one might expect though because both get quite tender with the brine and 90% of the taste is gonna come from the spices and vinegar.
      One of my favourite dishes ever.

    Don't forget that pickles originally didn't use vinegar - salt brine with garlic & dill is the old world style (vinegar speeds the process, but prevents the formation of lactic acid and the acidophilus bacteria that are tremendously good for you. Most grocery stores will have some old-style pickles in the refrigerated section (usually near the fresh sauerkraut and kimchee). An experiment with a salt-brine pickle juice for a week would be interesting 🙂It seems like you've already done something with kimchee - was it dry-aging?

  • @mix-n-match834

    You guys just rediscovered German sauerbraten, except in steak form.
    Marinating meat in something very acidic can make it little thought (what happened to one day steak) but prolonged soak dissolves all connective tissue, making meat extremely tender. Usually it's done with something tougher with higher amount of connective tissue and combined with slow, wet cooking method like stewing or in more modern times sous vide. It's a way to turn even the toughest, saddest piece of meat from an old farm-working bull into a pretty decent meal.

    oh yea, give dry aging a bit of a shake up by recrystalising salt with stuff either floating or dissolved into solution.

    might be overkill compared to a salt heavy dry mix but i think that might let you dry age some flavours that otherwise just wouldn't penetrate the meat.

    It would be very interesting to see such experiment made with actual "pickled cucumbers". I know that in the US usually pickled cucumbers means those in vinegar. In poland we name them: "konserwowe" - that roughly translates to "preserved". Originally pickled cucumbers in central - eastern europe are fermented in a jar filled with just water, salt and some herbs and spices. There are kinda stronger in their own way and different to those ones with vinegar. Propably water from them won't make the steak so tuff due to lack of vinegar. Those pickled cucumbers are very tasty and have, I would say like a "fizzy" taste. Pretty similar to sauerkraut.

    This gets me wondering, would bread and butter pickle juice be enough of a change from the dill pickle brine. Further down that road, a soak in a vinegar base barbecue sauce. Like a style of vinegar base that is: apple cider vinegar, red pepper flakes, cumin, salt, cracked black pepper, onion powder, fresh garlic fine diced, and a squirt of honey.
    Mix it together, bring to a quick simmer. Let cool marinate a steak in it for a day, a week and then two weeks. After that the sauce might start getting a fuzz on, since it's meant to be used fresh or within a day or two of making.

    If you want to make it milder you should dilute the pickle juice when marinating so you use one part of that brine to one part water, so it'll be half as effective in the same period of time.
    And one reason for that is that the brine is insanely full of salt content which cooks your steak, and you don't want it to cook the outside 'too' much.
    Maybe one part brine to one part water and one part vinegar to offset the salt levels.
