The reason the steaks got tough from the acid is that it cooks the steak so to speak. If you use a high acid to tenderize a steak, it's kind of like cooking it. The stronger the acid (higher the heat) the less time it needs to marinate (cook). I saw on a show people in a region of Mexico that is known for their acid citrus fruits marinate a whole turkey for just 5/10 minutes. If you overdo the marinade time, the steak will become tough as you experienced with the lemon. I'd be curious to see the lemon marinade tried for different amounts of time, like 5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes or something, to see the difference in results.
xXGe0rgEXx Yeah... we use “limes” in our marinates though. Also, here in my town we use sour oranges for it, it won’t make your meat tough even if you forget bout it for a few hours.
@@livingchaosmatrix it depends on the concentration and the acidity of the substance. A lemon is like 2 on the pH scale so its gonna be stronger than a sour orange.
I don't think his voice is anything special for narrating. I think he has an excellent quality microphone, and he speaks quickly, and most importantly he is an expert on the topic he's talking about. those matter more than having a perfect made-for-TV voice
Blueberry vs Papaya vs Pineapple vs Sour Cream, and as you said, get the toughest, cheapest meat you could find which is easily accessible from grocery stores. I just don't see a point in tenderizing meat which is all good by itself.
Its nice to feel food melting in mouth at some point but i agree with you cause meat must taste as meat. I suggest using honey it ls the best tenderizer i used before. It doesnt affect the natural taste ofcthe meat so its tge best for me i guess.
I had never heard of using sour cream. I bought cheap beef (flank), that was tougher than leather. I used vinegar and had to throw away. I wrapped the remaining strips in plastic wrap, beat it with a rolling pin (great frustration reliever), then smothered in sour cream. Left for 10 hours (next time I'll leave for 2-3 days). I rinsed off the sour cream, seasoned, then roasted until I could smell it (cooks really fast). I was so shocked that it was SO TENDER! THANK YOU SO MUCH 💗😊
Talk about surrounding yourself with good people. You guys are aces man. Just watching you all interact with each other made my day it’s how family and friends should be. Love you guys.
Well in his pineapple experiment he blended the whole pineapple with skin on because he said we wanted to extract the most enzymes out of it as possible so I think he was trying to do the same with these?
Day Varia Well it’s very common in Indian cooking to marinate meat, particularly chicken or lamb in plain yoghurt or curd, and other cuisine such as deep fried chicken, buttermilk is used as a marinade, they all act as tenderisers, they also add great flavour and why you DONT WASH it off, sometimes the excess is scrapped or shaken off but absolutely never washed.
I like to mix juniper berry with blueberry. I bet starting with a blueberry-sour cream marinade, then season the steak with salt, red peppercorns and, juniper berries would be amazing. For extra points, deglace the pan with a dry cider.
Since sour cream did so well, I'm curious how yogurt would work as a tenderizer. It has both concentrated lactic acids AND enzymes. It would probably work better.
After one or two more of these we need to have a Champion's bout between Pineapple, Papaya, Sour Cream, and winners from future experiments all put against each other to declare a true best method. I look forward to it!
4 years on, it's clear how you've grown as a channel. Your voice-over style nowadays is much more refined as is the taste test. Somehow, despite the massive increase in professionalism of the videos and the editing you've not lost the family touch.
After trying all these methods, gotta say this was my favorite: marinate in 1-2 spoons of sour cream for - 1 hour wash sour cream off mince onion + soy sauce + honey (measure to your liking) - marinate for 30 mins then let sit on rack till room temp, pepper it flash fry 1 min ea side throw in pan on low with butter + garlic and top with vent. 1 min ea side throw on rack on over open flame sear 30 sec ea side
I have to admit, I've been watching GUGA Foods for a month now, and I absolutely LOVE IT! - The host is brilliantly methodical in his scientific approach to comparative testing, his youthful enthusiasm about his craft and sincere politeness to his audience is such a pleasure to watch. I've learned so much because of all of the hard work HE DOES FOR ME, and the production quality of the program is exceptional. His efforts and those of his family and production crew are amazing and much appreciated!
With your Korean affinity I am surprised you have not tried Asian Pear yet. It too has an enzyme to break down meats and is used in Bulgolgi. Also give Durian a shot for tenderizing the meat as well.
Bravo, I love your tenderizing experiences. Suggestion: tenderizing experiment # 4, it would be interesting to check the best results of your previous experiences: pineapple, papaya, sour cream and blueberries. What do you think?
Important point about sour cream: I see you used Daisy sour cream, which is real cultured cream, and thus contains lactic acid derived from the milk lactose by bacteria. However, some cheap sour creams are not cultured, but instead have added sodium citrate, which would I think produce similar results as the citric acid in the lemon.
You guys look like you're having so much fun eating and talking for this episode. Even Chris, who found himself in the hot seat after liking what was declared the worst cut, looked like he was having a good time with all of you. Though I guess its to be expected, he did get a whole rib eye to himself in the end lol. Regardless, watching you all have a good time was worth it by itself, the experiment was just icing on the cake. Subbed to both your channels now and looking forward to more content! :)
Awesome testing, the sour creme, and blueberry surprised me, and now it comes down to the pineapple, kiwi, papaya, sour creme, and blueberry, which sounds like an excellent taste testing dream!
Obviousl the steaks look amazing, but I have to compliment the video itself! Whoever films and edits your videos is amazing ! Very impressive work. Do you do the editing yourself????
I have never clicked onto a video as fast in my life !!, Great work as always guga ,your content is so good it draws people ... especially these tenderising experiments ! I think you should try marinating in yoghurt and i think you've done papaya before, both seem to work really well, but with the yoghurt you have to leave it on for longer, like overnight , its used alot in Pakistani style barbecue for flavouring and tastes Amazing on the tikkas ( you'll need some good recipies though ). ALSO, YES PLEASE DO A VIDEO ABOUT ALL THE TENDERISING EXPERIMENT WINNERS !!, (once again love your content , stay amazing guys )
Out of my head, here's my five ideas for tenderizing experiment guga - avocado, orange, pears, mango and lime, i think it would be awesome experiment! Love your channel guga, wish you all the best from Croatia!
So I got some USDA Angus new york strip steaks and diluted the sour cream, added paprika, onion flakes, minced garlic, and salt. (Not a fan of black pepper) Marinated for 1/2 hr in the fridge. Pretty good! Also used French onion dip made with sour cream. Sane seasonings. Happy family tonight!
This one and the previous experiment display the difference between the effects of enzymes and acids pretty well. Give fruit based marinades a try on low and slow meats, some of the best ribs I ever had were soaked in apple juice for hours (thanks to a tip from the BBQ Pit Boys).
Watching the vinegar steak interactions, I couldn't help but remember my mom's sauerbraten which uses a red-wine vinegar mixed with brown gravy mix, dried onion flakes, salt, pepper, and some ginger with browned round steak cubed. Think I got all the ingredients. You simply bake covered and serve over wide egg noodles. It was one of my favorites. So depending on how strong the vinegar flavor, mixed with the right seasoning, would almost taste the same grilled instead I think. I may have to try it someday that way.
Guga idk if you’ll see this but, you remind me of my grandpa a lot you’re always smiling and laughing and so nice to everyone and it’s really nice to see.. you actually kinda look like him too haha, it’s just so sweet seeing that thank you for making videos
First time to the site. Pretty cool to see how Enzymes and Acids work differently. As well how varied personal taste can be. Good cuts of steak should be pretty tender and well marbled to begin with.

I'd love to know if Chris has had ropa vieja (and if that might be why he preferred the vinegar-marinated steak). That little bit of sour tang in that recipe is wonderful IMHO... Another great episode-keep up the great work!
It really has little to do with the type of acid than with the acidity. Very acidic liquids actually have a "cooking" effect causing the proteins to tighten(think ceviche) and does the opposite than temderizing. Lemon juice and vinegar are ph around 3 which counts as very acidic. Blueberry and sour cream are around 4(which means 10 times less acidic).
Yup. Entertaining to test, but absolutely predictable. Both those steaks (lemon and vinegar) were cured/pickled instead of tenderized. Milk and sour-cream give great results without adding any aftertastes.
Been tenderizing my steaks with sour cream ever since I’ve watched this video. Just awesome. You’re a champ Gouga. In fact I’ve taken loin flaps and leaving the sour cream and lemon juice on for 3-4 days and it becomes exactly like skirt steak for nearly half the price.
I tried the sour cream option today and It didn't soften the meat much at all, if any. I massaged it thoroughly and doused it in sour cream, sealed and let refrigerated for an hour. Did this ever happen with your steaks when first trying?
The acid in lemon cooks the meat by disintegrating the protein, I used to cook fish with lemon without heat. That's why I am extremely against anyone use lemon in marinade, as the end result will always be the meat being super tough on the outside, and the sourness can be overwhelming.
@@MrRyansLP Yes, there are actually videos about this on youtube. With some seasoning it's actually not that bad. Besides the texture, which is once again, pretty tough.
I have actually added dill pickle juice from an empty jar of pickles to my marinade for a unique flavor and it not only tasted amazing the meat ended up super tender. Love your show man keep it up.
The lemon rind is a strong alkaline (base). That's why the steak became tougher than the other. You actually did not use acid. You should have used only the juice and discarded the rind 😁
Christian Vincent Rivera - Lemon peel is about 2.2 on the PH scale, which is highly acidic, as is lemon juice. Having said that, the effect of lemon juice in your body is alkalizing.
Christian. That is absolutely not true. Lemon peel contains more citric acid than lemon juice as well as phytic acid and enzymes. Theoretically it should be more effective as a tenderizer.
The lactic acid-
"I used the cow....to destroy the cow."
Thanos is in a weird universe in that version.
@@danny1681 the infinity bulls
Lol
😂😂😂😂
the lactic acid is produced by the bacteria used to make the sour cream and not by the cow
You forgot hydrofluoric acid, it does so well that even the bones will soften.
that's gonna add a strong taste definitly XDDDD
It's a pretty weak acid, and a poison.

I think you guys should marinate the steaks in different types/scoville unit hotsauces, for a tenderness comparison.
It really has little to do with the type of acid than with the acidity. Very acidic liquids actually have a "cooking" effect causing the proteins to tighten(think ceviche) and does the opposite than temderizing.

This is my new favorite vegan youtube channel... This is vegan I assume...
sure it’s vegan there was an apple in there somewhere
Every family needs a Chris, lol. Great vid!
Been tenderizing my steaks with sour cream ever since I’ve watched this video. Just awesome. You’re a champ Gouga. In fact I’ve taken loin flaps and leaving the sour cream and lemon juice on for 3-4 days and it becomes exactly like skirt steak for nearly half the price.
I tried the sour cream option today and It didn't soften the meat much at all, if any. I massaged it thoroughly and doused it in sour cream, sealed and let refrigerated for an hour. Did this ever happen with your steaks when first trying?
Guga please try to cook some ADOBO in this channel.
Lots of love from Philippines. 🤙
I'd love to see that too!
nice... :)

I already liked this channel, but now i love it cause of this chris guy😂 seems like a awesome guy
WE NEED MORE CHRIS!! That kid is hilarious 😂
The acid in lemon cooks the meat by disintegrating the protein, I used to cook fish with lemon without heat.
That's why I am extremely against anyone use lemon in marinade,
as the end result will always be the meat being super tough on the outside, and the sourness can be overwhelming.
U cooked fish with no heat just with lemon really?
@@MrRyansLP Yes, there are actually videos about this on youtube. With some seasoning it's actually not that bad.
Besides the texture, which is once again, pretty tough.
@@MrRyansLP ceviche is chopped up fish cooked with lime and no heat
Yea it's called ceviche.
I have actually added dill pickle juice from an empty jar of pickles to my marinade for a unique flavor and it not only tasted amazing the meat ended up super tender. Love your show man keep it up.
You need to try and tenderize something like flanksteak! :)
I'm eating ribs while watching... you have no power over me! :D
I have to go back and watch the others. This was great fun.
The lemon rind is a strong alkaline (base). That's why the steak became tougher than the other. You actually did not use acid.
You should have used only the juice and discarded the rind
😁
Christian Vincent Rivera - Lemon peel is about 2.2 on the PH scale, which is highly acidic, as is lemon juice. Having said that, the effect of lemon juice in your body is alkalizing.
Christian. That is absolutely not true. Lemon peel contains more citric acid than lemon juice as well as phytic acid and enzymes. Theoretically it should be more effective as a tenderizer.
I wish I had Guga as a neighbour, I would be gater crashing his BBQ's at every chance :P
Whole everything.. Forget tendering meat for a moment.. can we have a replay of your blender in action? 🤷♀️ WOW! Whole 🍋🍎's?? 😱 I need one of those 😄
Almost 400k let's go
Yes!!! Thanks for the support!!!!
I think its like Vinegar Crisps(chips for the cowboys), not everyone likes them but there are freaks like me who take them by the bucket load.
