Since you mentioned MSG, here is 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 5x 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!
Guga: today's side dish is ridiculously easy to make! Also Guga: The side dish only took me an entire day to try to sew this porkskin into a hot pocket

You can't always trust what you see on TH-cam, but I trust Guga because following his instructions I have made my steaks and burgers 100% better. My family appreciates it also!
You came to Colombia and you didn't tell? I hope you had a good time. Where didn't you go? The side dish is an inspiration on a colombian classic called lechona, which is pulled pork with peas (sometimes with rice) cooked and baked inside the pig's skin, but not just a bit, I mean the whole skin, even still attached to the head. Guga made it with chistorra (which is a Spanish food), but that's not the way we do it here, but sounds good. I think it's better the way we do it. Greetings from Bogotá, Colombia!
Hey Guga, in Germany there is a liquid sauce, called Maggi Würze, that we use for everything, most often for Soup, Eggs or just to give food an extra salty taste, personally i used it in a combound butter on some steaks, and it was so dang good, i think you are really gonna like it

Great experiment, it's interesting to see how different amounts of MSG can significantly affect the flavor of the steak. The second steak seems to have hit the sweet spot. The side dish you made was mouthwatering, might need to try that as well!
Now everytime I cook steaks, I have that little voice in my head: "A good amount of salt, followed by freshly ground black pepper and garlic powdaaaaa 🎶" 😂👌🏾
This channel is the reason why I was inspired to make 1/7/14 day pineapple msg dry aged picanha basted in black garlic wagyu beef tallow. I would love to see this done on your channel! Trust me when I say the results are worth the time and effort.
I'm gonna call shennanigans on your pineapple dry aged steak. Bromelain will make that steak inedible after a couple of days. (Everything else sounds great though!)
it's a copy pasta script of literally every other video, even the reactions are literally copy pasta. They standardized it so they can pump out tons of content on 3 channels.
I have two salt shakers filled with MSG. One is next to my induction cooker, the other on my dining table. It’s good in hot chocolate as well as savory dishes. Honestly.
Don't get me wrong... But two things. 1. Your definition of 'easy' is A LOT different to most of your viewers, lol. Also, you keep making main dishes and calling them side dishes lol.
when you say "I know exactly what you're thinking", I'm thinking "my steaks don't look that good right now, but watch this!" So in a sense, you DO know EXACTLY what I'm thinking.
We should get a blindfolded taste test to see how many things they can get right on each steak like seasonings, cooking method, marinades, dry age, etc…
The guy threw Mickey Chen under the bus a few years back, and while I view less of the later man's videos these days, UR behaved repulsively. Big Nope.
Thank you Guga for posting this video today! I was just told that I have a non cancerous brain tumor which I did surgery for yesterday. This video has really brightened my day!
adding MSG just makes what ever tiny amount of salt and spices you added get intensified 10 fold. MSG is also naturally created inside meat as it cooks.
@2:34 ..making a risotto?, my Italian chef said a great risotto will be more simple, only using chicken stock, grana podana , parmesano reggiano, butter, salt, pepper, pancetta and green peas.. kinda curious if I can add this to a plate and make a special at my job.
0:28 Guga, i love seeing you making video with sous vide steaks. It really awesome. I have some request for you. This dish is from my region indonesia. Can you make beef rendang with sous vide method and without it? I want to see which one is better. You can do the research for the recipe from video you did with joshua and uncle roger previously. I SERIOUSLY WAITING FOR IT😊😊
MSG is a game changer. I watch all these brisket videos etc, and no one seems to use msg. I put MSG on my brisket rub and it's a winner. I've even been known to put just a little in my tea, which also is good. It's good all around.
Always cracks me up when Guga says he "hasn't had a steak in a while." Dude uploads at least one steak video a week between his channels. Sometimes two videos.
I think it would be interesting for you to test the alkaline brine that some asian restaurants use on their meats on steaks. Supposedly it prevents the meat fibers from contracting as they cook making the meat more tender. I think most of the time it is just water, baking soda, and soy sauce (to cover the flavor of the baking soda). You could also test the velveting process as well but I don't know how well that would work on steak.
Guga, recently I’ve been experimenting with making beef jerky out of eye round. My secret ingredient in my marinade is that spicy chili crisp you made a video about awhile ago. I’ve used the oven, air frier, and dehydrator. All 3 have pros and cons. Curious to how you’d approach making jerky
Can we do an easy experiment where we have a control frozen steak seasoned right before cooking sous vide, vs a seasoned steak, including salt, that is then frozen and cooked sous vide? I salted cuts from a primal NY Strip like I was about to cook them, sealed them up, then froze them. I got around to eating them 3-5 months later, and they felt almost like cured meat instead of a steak. I'll run it myself, but I think it's a practical experiment to show your sous vide followers. Thanks!!
Can you achieve sous vide levels of control over internal temperature by smoking a steak, and then finishing it with a torch for the crust. So replacing the sous vide bath for a smoker?
It might be similar to the most MSG version, but now I'm curious if MSG would react the same to regular salt if used to salt bake something. Typically it's used for fish, but I don't see why steak wouldn't work.

Instead of the torch, you should try alternative crust options, like toaster oven, searing pan etc. and do a “crust off challenge” 😅
