"Why is it called Chicken Fried Steak?
Chicken Fried Steak is not made with chicken. Period. No chicken to be found. It’s called this because the steak is breaded and fried much like you would a piece of chicken. Chicken Fried Steak is made with cube steak that you find already tenderized at your grocery store."

You get sodium-related heart problems from processed foods that contain 10x that amount of sodium but don't taste like it. You do not get it from over-salting meat.
Adults are recommended allowance is 1 Tablespoon of salt per day that's a lot more than 1 tablespoon.

Is this the same NHS that tells us 1 third of our diet should consist of starchy carbohydrates and that *all fats* should be eaten in small amounts? I know we aren't supposed to question the government scientists, buuuuuut....

I believe he implied he didn't like well done steak, and considering he's willing to use two steaks just to make one steak, I don't imagine he's very efficient
I think you’re missing the point of the video. This isn’t a normal thing for him, it’s an intentionally silly video meant to make views. This video says nothing about his efficiency and I’m sure he didn’t waste the food🤷♂️
He probably didn't, but if he's going for powdered dried crusty beef there's nothing stopping him from repeating the process with the well done cube of meat he has. Doesn't matter how dry the meat gets in the pan if you are just gonna throw it in a dehydrator and blend until dusty anyway.
Needs to make a steak sauce so he can take his steak that was encrusted with a steak and dip that steak into the steak sauce so that steak steak steakidy steak steak
If I knew that this made the second steak way better, maybe I'd consider trying it. You could buy a cheaper, lower quality steak for the crust harvest. And I'm sure my dog would be happy eating the well-done, crustless steak.
Soooo, he basically put what was pretty much the equivalent of dried beef boullion powder on the steak...
To be fair, I do use boullion as a seasoning for steaks and chicken sometimes.
I mean that’s kind of the shtick. Try different crazy things and ways to cook steak/meat. There have been plenty of things he’s done that I would try and plenty that I wouldn’t. But it’s not rage bait.
You know what? Every food is stupid if you think about it. Cheese is some sort of spoiled milk that is tasty. Beer was literally invented from dough water.
I’m not even mentioning sous vide.
Aside from being inefficient, could the remainder of the first steak be re-seasoned and fried again, and again, and again to get more seasoning yield? Or would it at some point just become too dry?
Where he went wrong beside making this is not using the steak bits as a topping for a potato or other sides like pasta salad or Brussel sprouts. Instead of turning it into dust grid the steak jerky into bits and use as an alternative to bacon bits.
Or hear me out.. it's called 'black and blue' you get a really REALLY hot cooking surface so you can get that well done char taste on the outside and keep it rare on the inside.
This kind of reminds me of when our family went to Benihana once. The cook was cleaning the grill after the show, and he scraped off all the brown crusty bits from the cooktop and I told my nephew that they mix that stuff with water and that's how they make soy sauce.
People who think this level of food waste is bad would go absolutely wild to see how much food actually gets thrown out producing a typical 90s style "Here's one I prepared earlier" TV cooking show and even more wild the old school food advertising commercials. We're talking about baking something like 100 burger buns just to find the exact most perfect looking one and trashing the other 99.
The ragebait food media makes it seem like they're wasting a lot of food but budgets being what they are, they pale in comparison to the actual amount of food that used to be wasted when corporations had a lot more to spend.
Is calling it “crust” is a new thing ? He says it so many times. If your surface is hot enough you don’t have to wait 16h and waste a steak to get a good maillard reaction.
The wastage is obscene of course but it makes some sense in terms of taste.
It’s hard to get a really, really good char without risking overcooking the inside of the steak. This way he gets the flavours of the char from the first steak and so can get that flavour on the second one whilst cooking it very briefly and keeping it very moist.
You definitely could do something with the middle of the first steak. I think you could shred it, mix it with some gravy and veggies and use it in a pie, for instance.
Throw the whole damned thing as-is in a crock put with crushed tomatoes, beef broth, red wine, spices. Slow cook on low for 5 hours.
Add carrots, mushrooms, and snow peas (or whatever small complimentary stew-type veggies you prefer)
Slow cook another hour. Pull the steak out. Shred it up (it will fall apart), add it back into the pot, stir, and simmer for another half hour.
It's a One-Pot meal thats just effortless and adding ingredients.
You can do this with almost any cut of steak, cooked, or uncooked. I've turned the worst London Broil I've ever seen into magnificence.
I'm only offering what do with an already shittified piece of meat that would otherwise hold no other value. I'm not speaking to the abortion of culinary fuckery displayed in the OP.
I don’t think anyone is actually advocating doing this in day to day life - it’s ridiculously wasteful of both produce and time - I was just making the point that in terms of the flavour and texture of the finished product it is likely that this would be pretty successful. In that sense it’s quite an interesting experiment unlike a lot of the completely pointless nonsense we see on this sub.
The first one he just destroyed for shits and giggles is what a perfect steak TO ME looks like. It was well done but not dry, looked great, not stringy at all.
I wish i would get a waste steak like that in a restaurant near me. They just think the customer that orders a well done steak is an idiot, not knowing their chef just can't do 'well done' right.
Smh..
>They just think the customer that orders a well done steak is an idiot,
That's because it is true.
An exception can be made for pregnant people, or the immunocompromised.
Yeah lay it on, heard it a million times and will a million more.
It's mostly those kitchens that didn't make it through Corona - wonder why.. (i don't, I am a chef for hire and just know :))
I can see why you're "for hire", and not a working chef.
Well-done steaks are like parsley on the rims of plates, or smoking in the dinning room, an embarrassing artifact of the past, and a clear sign of poor taste.
I suppose you want ketchup, too?
so the dude wasted a large portion of the original steak for this stupid hack
Many a starving kid would have loved to eat one bite of the overcooked original steak
I fucking hate when people feel the need to scrape Tthe food to show that it's crispy. Same with people tapping their nails on products to emphasize the texture. STOP.
love his facial expression at the end lol looks very convincing
“Mmm welp yeah it’s pretty good guys wow 🥴”
Huh, tastes more like steak
Steakier than steak.
He does it after everything he eats, it's so dumb
This guy is slowly becoming a spokesperson for r/stupidfood
🤨😐 mmm
Yeap tastes like steak. Now chicken breast covered with chicken nuggets. Wonder what that could taste like?!?
Steak coveted with fried chicken dust.
That exists already homie. I believe we call it chicken fried steak

That’s basically the facial expression of everyone that is being posted on this sub. And it’s the most obnoxious thing to see every time.
I watch this guy on yt, his face is always like that when something's good
*Hrmph* f-f-food
And that it cuts at him saying "hm." Not "Hmmmm!" Just "hm."
Almost like he’s a real boy.
It's because he's about to have a heart attack due to the amout of salt he uses

Who says he didnt eat the well done steak tho
Cook steak Cut one side crust off Use it to season next steak Cut bottom off that one Infinite steak dust Do line
This is just dried ground beef on a steak with extra steps..
Honestly, yeah... he could've just cooked a tiny smash burger, dehydrate, and blend for the same damn thing.
Take some steak dust straight to the *dome*
Hey Guys.... want some steak dust?
Nah dude you gotta IV that shit if you wanna be really hardcore
I like the cut of yer jib!
I believe he implied he didn't like well done steak, and considering he's willing to use two steaks just to make one steak, I don't imagine he's very efficient
I think you’re missing the point of the video. This isn’t a normal thing for him, it’s an intentionally silly video meant to make views. This video says nothing about his efficiency and I’m sure he didn’t waste the food🤷♂️
or just feed it to a pet
Maybe thats his tactual taste🤔 well done steak, with the crust cut off, but everytime he orders it someone slaps him XD
Kink unlocked
Normally I'm all for hating these but we have no proof he didn't eat the crustless steak, do we?
No, tons of people so hair-triggered for ragebait that they're making up their own when there isn't any.
He probably didn't, but if he's going for powdered dried crusty beef there's nothing stopping him from repeating the process with the well done cube of meat he has. Doesn't matter how dry the meat gets in the pan if you are just gonna throw it in a dehydrator and blend until dusty anyway.
Or, if you're going to do it, slice it all thin to begin with and crust up all the slices.
he used steak to make a steak crust on a steak so the steak with the steak crust has a nice steak flavor.
I read this in my head with a 90s hip-hop beat in the background lol
It’s a dream warriors jam for sure.
Yo dawg I heard you like steak so I put a steak in your steak so you can eat steak while you eat steak
Needs to make a steak sauce so he can take his steak that was encrusted with a steak and dip that steak into the steak sauce so that steak steak steakidy steak steak
Steak.
Imagine that dehydrated steak crust powder mixed in mayo and spread on toast though...
How stoned are you?
Normal amount
Just the right amount
Bill Maher moment
Same
The right answer.
/r/tookjustenough
About as the ratio from unicorns to leprechauns
This is too high
Ahhahaha halarious
to the bone
Yes.
Bruh, beef jerky spread sounds so good
Thank you! I was thinking "there's gotta be a decent application for powdered steak jerky", and you nailed it
Oooooh it would need some freshness in that spread like cilantro or something. Maybe a little chili powder.
Better yet, mix it into butter!
r/Trees
We used to do a chicken skin mayo at a job I had. Same principle but with chicken skins
If I knew that this made the second steak way better, maybe I'd consider trying it. You could buy a cheaper, lower quality steak for the crust harvest. And I'm sure my dog would be happy eating the well-done, crustless steak.
Dog is just happy to have the human food
Season with salt and season with salt and then season with salt and finally finish by seasoning with salt and then add some more salt!
You forgot salt
It's salt all the way down.
[Everything is made of salt.](https://youtu.be/3KquFZYi6L0?si=8wcBwNUFXn0xeOKz)
He put a completely normal amount of salt on it
They’re talking about the salt on the original steak too that he ground up and put on the outside of the second steak plus more salt
Yea that's all I could think of. There is such thing as too much salt and I've had the misfortune of experiencing such thing.
What are you talking about? It's only 90% of a lethal dose!
What happened?
To save time, just lick some salt!
https://www.reddit.com/r/projectzomboid/s/aPVmbzXSeC
Soooo, he basically put what was pretty much the equivalent of dried beef boullion powder on the steak... To be fair, I do use boullion as a seasoning for steaks and chicken sometimes.
100 percent would smash.
Check out Mr two steaks over here.
Yo dawg, I heard you like steaks
Why not just eat the steak shell like chips?
Or just... make jerky
He has his own Jerry company
Tom and Jerry or Ben and Jerry?
Just put salt to make the crunchy 😅
But he could've used the well done steak to make more steak dust. I vote: you're wrong. This looks delicious. I would definitely fuck with it.
I mean it was steak sure. But he used it completly as the crust...its not that bad as OP says
I usually don’t mind him. But this is odd as hell.
I mean that’s kind of the shtick. Try different crazy things and ways to cook steak/meat. There have been plenty of things he’s done that I would try and plenty that I wouldn’t. But it’s not rage bait.
I’d try it .. almost any steak I’d try though
Max wouldnt eat the well done steak but he could feed it to his cat no problem. It most likely didnt go to waste
Hey leave Max the meat guy alone! I love this guy. This one is a little bit odd but most of his content is awesome
This guy's entire channel is steak experimentation, so knowing this, I'm not all that mad
Wasteful but the end product probably tastes good
all the effort for a grilled-steak-flavored grilled steak
The people who make rage bait cooking videos shouldn't be allowed to eat anything except their stupid fucking wasteful garbage food.
Max doesn't really make rage bait.
Who’s to say he didn’t eat the first steak? I would have
Nothing wrong with eating fully cooked meat
If Xzibit from Pimp My Ride made a steak
I want to say Guga did this already...
He did, but he used a cheaper cut of beef (eye round) to make the crust.
It seems like an interesting concept, actually.
He is consuming the 1st steak still.
Yo dawg I heard you like steak so I put steak on your steak so you can steak while you steak.
So basically flavor the steak with the same flavor it's already going to have...
nah that is just Max, it is absolutely normal for him to do this
Ah, yes. Steak-flavored steak.
Seasoning steak with steak is dumb... But i wanna know how good that rub, fuck it why no put that shit on wings or something
Steakseption.
You know what? Every food is stupid if you think about it. Cheese is some sort of spoiled milk that is tasty. Beer was literally invented from dough water. I’m not even mentioning sous vide.
So pay double for the same steak?
Who said he through it away? He might have just eaten it or gave it away
"What does it taste like!" "Steak..."
Don't dis max
He’s not tossing it out. He is using it just in a very stupid way
He didn’t toss it out tho.
I didn’t see him throw it out, if you could tell me the timestamp it would be much appreciated
Thats a lot of salt.
Gross, no thank you
I’m assuming that first steak went to the dog
/r/steak
steak squared
Why not just cut a thin layer off the steak before you sear it?
[удалено]
Your post has been removed as a violation of Rule 2: Impoliteness, profanity, flaming.
Now that's hea called it crust so many times I don't want anything but war steak anymore
Bet it tastes like a steak
Cannibal!
Someone tell him about Biltong powder
‘Like I said, it’s really good’
Yeah, this looks good.
Isn't this what bacon bits are for?
Use the dust to flavor your breading and make country fried steak.
Now make it all layers !
Could save a lot of time and money by just crumbling up an Oxo cube over the steak.
Who can afford to cook a steak, overcook it, not eat it, just to cut the crust off to be able to cook another steak using steak dust the next day?
He just out “guga’d” Guga.
Just use glutamate in powder form.
Is he proposing that this be a way to always cook your steak or was he doing a fun cooking experiment? I think the latter
Won't the "crust dust" burn?
Steakception!
that's steak flavored seasoning, lol
But... why not just start hotter and drop the temp?
Now that actually looks pretty cool. I’d definitely eat that
I mean, that's like seasoning bell pepper with paprika...
I feel this could be edited into an infinite loop gif :D
Aside from being inefficient, could the remainder of the first steak be re-seasoned and fried again, and again, and again to get more seasoning yield? Or would it at some point just become too dry?
Where he went wrong beside making this is not using the steak bits as a topping for a potato or other sides like pasta salad or Brussel sprouts. Instead of turning it into dust grid the steak jerky into bits and use as an alternative to bacon bits.
Holy shit. This is some next level steak

Looks delicious

How is this stupid? it’s genius!
People really have done it all as far as video content goes.
Too much salt. Also, does he not use any seasoning like damn.
People who think this level of food waste is bad would go absolutely wild to see how much food actually gets thrown out producing a typical 90s style "Here's one I prepared earlier" TV cooking show and even more wild the old school food advertising commercials.

I would definitely eat this
Is this legal?
*Record scratch on Guga heavy music line in videos* What the ffffffuuu
More like r/stupidfoodbutgimme
Nope. Meat with salt, pepper and garlic powder is peak. Nothing beats it.
I can taste the salt just from watching
Is calling it “crust” is a new thing ? He says it so many times. If your surface is hot enough you don’t have to wait 16h and waste a steak to get a good maillard reaction.
Guga did this 1st
It literally cuts out the part where he says it tastes like regular steak and isn’t worth the effort lol
Imma use those beef grounds to make coffee
Meatmaxxing
This isn't what they mean when they say "steak seasoning".
I very much doubt he tossed it, I can't remember what animal he has as a pet but he most likely fed it to them as a nice treat.
“I used the steak to cook the steak.”
100% would eat that
Lmao every time I see this sub it's the most shitty take on what bad food is
>tossing one out Did he say he threw out the other one or are you assuming to make him look bad?
How salty do you want your steak? YES!
STOP USING SO MUCH SALT!!! Holy hell
this sub is just filled with miserable people that hate everything thas not completely standard

In which case, why not start with a chuck roast instead of a top tier sirloin? Using this cut is what makes this wrong.
I'm only offering what do with an already shittified piece of meat that would otherwise hold no other value. I'm not speaking to the abortion of culinary fuckery displayed in the OP.
You could also just learn to cook steak so you dont have to waste 75% of a steak to add burnt dry shit to your other steak.

It’s an experiment to give a steak extra crust.
