What unique methods are used to cook steak in this episode?

Nick DiGiovanni 0:00
We're going to cook steak in 50 different ways, such as using hot molten glass, a laser pointer, and even cooking in the dishwasher.
Max the Meat Guy 0:07
We'll start off simple with a steak in a cast iron pan.
Nick DiGiovanni 0:10
These experiments will get crazier and crazier throughout the whole video. We're going to be eating steaks for weeks after this one. Because we're doing so many steaks today, we're not going to be seasoning every single one. That would just be a waste of time.
Max the Meat Guy 0:20
But for symbolic purposes, we're going to be cooking this one with garlic, rosemary, and butter.

How does cooking steak in a cast iron pan work?

Nick DiGiovanni 0:26
He's Max the Meat Guy. Of course it's going to be perfectly cooked. What'd I tell you? Something we all know and love are burgers. I think we already know this one's gonna work. But you know Max and I always grind our own meat.
Max the Meat Guy 0:36
Wink wink. We're looking for a really nice ratio of fat and meat. And you wanna have your meat nice and cold. Roll it up into a ball and just gently form those beautiful patties.
Nick DiGiovanni 0:46
There's one thing Max and I know, it's how to make a good burger. Down with the patty.
Max the Meat Guy 0:50
We're just gonna give it a quick flip. Check out that crust. A burger is a great way to cook a steak. One of the most classic ways to cook a steak, on the gas grill.
Nick DiGiovanni 0:59
Do we really need to wait for this one? We've seen it a million times.
Max the Meat Guy 1:03
Seasoned everything up and got them on the grill.
Nick DiGiovanni 1:05
Cook at 250 for three hours.
Max the Meat Guy 1:07
I got a nice skirt steak. It's longer than your sister's skirt last night, but a little dope.
Nick DiGiovanni 1:12
If there's one thing we can all agree is that cooking the right steak at the perfect dentist is always the ultimate goal.
Max the Meat Guy 1:18
Another classic method, oven baked. 350 Fahrenheit. Just like that, she is good to go. That looks amazing. Yeah, honestly, really nice color on this. That looks so good.
Nick DiGiovanni 1:29
I must say, I'm excited to cut into this thing. It looks a little bit like a ham to me.
Max the Meat Guy 1:34
It could definitely use a sear, but overall, not bad.
Nick DiGiovanni 1:36
Well, we can't really know until we taste it.
Max the Meat Guy 1:39
I call that a win. This one, we're going to broil. Set to 550, and in we go. Whoa, that is smoky. Pretty nice looking color. We're just going to flip it. Oh, . What do we do? Open a window?
Nick DiGiovanni 2:01
Do not broil your steak.
Max the Meat Guy 2:05
fail.
Nick DiGiovanni 2:06
Dry aged steak.
Max the Meat Guy 2:08
Whoa, Nick, we're supposed to cut off the pellicle. What are you doing here? We're just going to slice off the edges like so. This part is not really edible.

What are the results of cooking steak on a gas grill?

Max the Meat Guy 2:16
Removing the fat as well until we're left with the perfect dry aged steak. And now back into the pan. Not the biggest steak in the world, but check out that sizzle.
Nick DiGiovanni 2:24
There is nothing like a dry aged steak, especially when you don't rest it.
Max the Meat Guy 2:29
Okay, another classic at-home method, we're going to braise this steak. Start with a quick sear. That is a nice sear. That's a sear right there, boys. Now we're just going to add in our braising liquid and cover it up. Oh, that looks good. And our braised steak is... Ooh, that's hot. Okay, and our braised steak is complete. It's been braising for about two hours. Let's slice into it. And really, we're just hoping for a nice pull-apart texture. Doesn't really feel braised.
Ah.
Max the Meat Guy 2:58
Just looks like a well-done steak. Yeah, you really shouldn't braise a steak like this.
Nick DiGiovanni 3:01
One of my favorite ways to cook meat, a smoker. And of course, we have our hickory pellets.
Max the Meat Guy 3:06
Nick, we only use applewood here.

How does the oven method compare for cooking steak?

Max the Meat Guy 3:08
Slow and slow. Okay, and 20 minutes later, this is what we got. We'll slice in, and it looks perfect. Max, that's pretty good. Let me get a bite. Charcoal grill, and of course, we're using apple wood. I'm embarrassed to say this is my first time cooking on a charcoal grill. We got our charcoal nice and hot. That apple wood is lit. Technically, right now, we're cooking high and fast, which is illegal, but it's looking good.
Nick DiGiovanni 3:32
Now we'll cover it up to let it finish up the cooking process.
Max the Meat Guy 3:34
All right, let's check this baby out. This steak looks absolutely incredible.
Nick DiGiovanni 3:37
We're going to slice through this thing, and not a real surprise, it looks fantastic.
Max the Meat Guy 3:41
And time for the taste test. A little bit of smoke in my eyes, but that is delicious. A tried and true classic method, sous vide.
Nick DiGiovanni 3:48
We're going to be cooking this at 130 Fahrenheit for one hour.
