  • Thats more of a roast than a steak

  • For a nutty aroma, try some hempseed oil in the dressing (watch out for its low smoke point while cooking with it though). Tastes great and is great for you too (Full of omega fatty acids).

  • he has no life, no woman

  • Absolutely the most ridiculous cooking video I have ever seen. How practical is this recipe to prepare in real life? It’s only for a guy that loves to play with his food and has way too much time on his hands.

  • Looks fantastic? Looks raw and the fat is still.. raw fat. Gross.

  • @Briax89 when cooking fat at low temperature and does not contract in all cooking, placing the grow if too high a temperature as Heston did you will only caramelize and put into the melted fat meat ..... ie this steak is perfect

  • grose as shit

  • Mush...room... ketchup...GTFO

  • Duh Guh Ding Ding Ding Doon Doon Doon - Duh Guh Ding Ding Ding Doon Doon.

  • Mmmm BMW ///M5

  • Incredible! Heston is a genius!

  • i just ate a big mac and it was fucking great

  • This is bullshit and not necessary.

  • I would lick that steak for 24 hours while listening to "meat is murder" by rampant homo-vegetarian Morrissey on 24 hour loop....

    

  • WTF! Salad? Where art the chips you bald salad eating bastard?

  • I would fuck that steak....

    

  • i feel sad knowing i wont ever eat this

  • And how much would it cost in his restaurant? Hhhmmmm...

  • @Johnnyissocoollike

    at his restaurant the taster menu is '£180 PER PERSON'

  • @MrEmmacath224 Fucking hell! Why the fuck would you spend that much to eat food... all ends up in the same place, unless your anorexic...

  • What enzyme? Many biological enzymes roaming around at 50 degrees in meat are there? No there arent.

  • @MrHalasz

    You're right. That's why he uses this technique. Calpain and cathepsin enzymes denature at around 40 and 50 deg respectively. However, the closer they get to this critial temperature, the more active they become. By slow-cooking the meat, you allow the enzymes plenty of time to weaken and break apart the proteins that contract during cooking and break down the collagen into lovely succulent gelatin.

  • really interesting post where did you get this information?if i can ask,how you relate the cooking temperature with classsic cooking level(rare/temp(?),medim-rare/­temp(?)..etc)

  • PS. I use bacon fat to sear the steaks. Saturated fats are stable and do not go rancid when heated to high temperatures. Lovely flavour too.

  • I also raise the internal temperature of steaks in the oven before quickly searing the exterior. As Blumenthal says, this activates enzymes in the meat that break down the proteins, making the meat much more tender. But I find 20 minutes at 250 degrees Farenheit for a thick cut steak is all that is required. Then I sear one side for two minutes and the other side for a minute and a half (when you first add the steaks to the pan, the surface temperature of the metal goes down, hence the times).

  • How much would I pay for this at his "Fat Duck" Resturant as a main meal, Steak & Chips?

  • @Damoskinos The Fat Duck only has one set taster menu. When i was lucky enough to go recently there was no steak!

  • 24 hours in oven = energy waste and fire hazard

    I'd rather cook a steak the old fashioned way and be satisfied in under 8 minutes (medium rare) yum yum ^_^

  • @HumaneAnon why are you watching this then?

  • i'd love to make this, but my kids won't want to eat meat that looks as raw as this does, despite being in the oven for 24hours... i wonder if raising the temperature a little would help cook it through better

  • @motormusic1 You need to teach your kids that meat is meant to be pink when eating it. Not only does it digest better, it's more tender, healthier and more importantly, it tastes so much better!

  • Thats the way NOT to cook your steak !

    OMG !!!

  • @dukieboy007 My sister and I made this, and it was really really fantastic! Super delicious!

  • @Mariamus You can make it at least as delicious in a traditional way !

  • @CarnivoreXYZ just because YOU dont want to spend that much doesn't mean some one else wouldn't. I'd try this atleast once in my life time.

  • As much as I love Heston I think he's an idiot for dumping his beautiful wife for that ugly dog. Woof woof!

  • umami

    ofarfo

  • amazing.

  • HB left his wife for a cookery writer, keep your hands off the saucepots Heston you wanker

  • @jayfoxpox. The bacteria is on the surface. At 50c it will breed, rather than be killed, so you have to arse the meat before cooking. Also, it triggers the Maillard reaction, causing flavours to develop during cooking.

  • @POOPINGASUSUAL So you have ended that by agreeing.  Good to know, albeit 8 months on, that you have scene the lijght!

  • is it wrong i got an erection from watching this?

  • Cute.

  • thats pretty rare lol

  • isn't the fat raw at that temp?

  • the meat is not even medium rare... its fucking raw

  • @humpingbird No, that's medium rare. If it were raw it'd be a much deeper red. Because of the really low temperature he cooked the steak at, it cooked very gradually, to the point that it didn't produce the gradual gradient of gray -> light pink -> pink that you normally see in a medium rare that's grilled or uses some other high temperature cooking method.

  • If he's gonna cut that much meat off , why even bother torching the meat Why not sear or skip that step? or a sous-vide then sear .With a ziplock bag, thermometer and a straw it's very doable.Less time , more juices kept (since baking process is a drying process) , and better for your electricity bill.His reasons:" char grill flavor" is lost once he cut that chunk off only to be replaced with a sear."killing the bacteria" ,which is done through the long baking process.

  • @Jayfoxpox the bacteria probably wouldnt be killed by the baking process because it dies at 72 degrees but the seering probably would.

  • I dont know anything bout food but that looks AMAZING!!!

  • You mean I can cook steak by leaving it outside on a summer day in Las Vegas? It is 50 degrees and no humidity, just like in the oven.

  • nice but the video gives me headache; its frame jumping

  • will that low temperature be enough to kill the harmful bacteria in the meat..?

  • this is ssssssoooo hard. I love cooking but when I wacthed this - got a headache, I am going to restaruant and jsut order a bloody steak

  • Protip; add cornflour BEFORE brining to the boil.

    You better cook the outside well with that blowtorch, as 50C is below even pasteurising temperature, so you're getting food poisoning if there's anything evil on the outside.

    But button mushrooms are overlooked. I've bought white truffle, and made pasta with just it and olive oil on. Button mushrooms + garlic are very close, but WAY WAY cheaper. White truffle smells like acetylene; garlic

  • "Honey! I'm home! Wow, tough day at the office. What's for dinner, honey? Steak. Absolutely fantastic! When will it be ready? Twenty-four hours! What the fuck, bitch!"

  • There are two things I'm envious of the USA for... one is their constitution (separation of state and church, freedom of speech being the two cornerstones of modern democracy) and the second is their beef. Its quality is far better than anything we get here, in the UK. Good video, I agree with some of the other comments though, these aren't recipes anyone does at home, but there are certainly valuable techniques that you can learn from them.

  • @SethHesio You should come to Australia, our steak is even better again!

  • diga ding ding ding ding ding ding

  • pretentious cooking 

  • bacteria can survive below 70 degrees celsius so even if you chargrill the outside wont bacteria start to grow again if you cook it at 50 degrees for that long?

  • @smile221 bacteria doesn't really penetrate to the interior of the meat as the muscle gets in the way (its the reason why people say you should cook mince thru but you don't have to with steak) . Besides, if you have good quality beef you can eat it raw anyway.

  • his weekly electricity bill is my yearly.

  • Probably great ... but I wouldn't order it from his restaurant.

  • Can somebody stop the camera man?

  • 4:24: classic double-dip! :-D

  • wow. that's alot of work.

  • When all you people critiquing hestons food earn three michilen stars come back to me and then I will listen to you and vegos why are you even watching this video

  • @nivlick i dont think anyone cares if your listening to there critiques

  • He didn't cook it long enough. I cook my steaks for at least several weeks and usually I'll wait a few years. I'll keep them at an even lower temperature and I won't even kill the animal. That keeps them nice and fresh.

    Lol. No, it's awesome. And there are some ideas you can use even if you don't spend days and days in the kitchen.

  • This is XXX hardcore food porn and I'm stuck in a vegetarian monastery!

  • @jeffshubert hahahahaha nice one

  • heh, i'd rather just fry my steak for two minutes than 24 hours.

  • Guys! leave Heston alone, his cooking technics are absolutely amazing, anything he cooks is outstanding !!! He is a genius and I thing the best chef of all times!!!! I know you said about that pepper before or after cooking a steak you are right but remember he's only a human and as everyone he learns all his life!!!

  • This helpful instructional video is great if you, like me, enjoy the Dickensian, Herculean , Pyrrhic task of cooking a 48 fucking steak that Australians or, say, North Carolingians can do just as well with a 3 hour marinade. Thanks, Haute cuisine culturists! Did I need to pickle the 3-week aged mushroom sauce before or after personally fermenting the apple-wine vinaigrette for 9 days? Pretentious dicks.

  • @Doublees the point is to taste the best quality beef, at its absolute best, not a marinade. If you're not into it then why even comment? Stick to bangers and keep your vitriol sarcasm to yourself

  • good videos....congrats good stuff

  • and i thought turning meat twice will make it rubbery...

  • damnit that steak has my name on it

  • Comment removed

  • In his other video, he said never to season the beef with pepper because it will burn.

  • @punchingpower i think he put the pepper on after it was cooked. :)

  • @punchingpower this is true, pepper will burn especially over a chargrill, before the steak cooks. It is much better to pepper the steak just before serving

  • Did he put that spoon in his mouth, then right back into the mushroom ketsup?

  • @tjmitch Yes, but then he boiled it again. Basically, chef saliva is a perfectly acceptable haute-cuisine ingredient, as long as it's cooked...

  • @Yickbob He can lick the spoons, do whatever he want on TV. Because he is only cooking for himself and the camera crew, not for restaurant goers.

  • His general style is to ponce about with the food as much as possible and serve it in the form of a cheap kids party trick (wow dry ice etc.)

  • @greaserleo you just dont get it, why are you even looking at this?

  • @justinwalshe I get it, go boil yourself a life. Hey, squirt some dry ice on your balls and pretend your serving up some peas.

  • Comment removed

  • this guy is such a clart...

    who has the time and money to mess around with a steak for 24H?

    the government is trying to promote healthy eating thats easy and quick for a modern age, this guy is basically saying that for the best food u gotta wait hours or even days for it.

    what an arse

  • @NeoWolf07 probably someone who's the executive chef at one of the world's top ranked restaraunts. the government wants to promote quick and healthy because everyone is on the run all the time and unhealthy food is quick and easy. for this particular dish, yes. for the best results you must wait hours or days. the best food takes a long time to make but is that part of your regular diet? no. it's a once in a great while treat for yourself. chill out.

  • @NeoWolf07 stop your moaning

  • @NeoWolf07 He is a professional, he makes his millions from creating this sort of art. He also has a team of chefs to cater to his quests. your not supposed to even try this sort of thing at home. The point of his show is to those that may be interested, what goes into making these sorts of dishes, why they taste so good and why they cost so much. Judging from your sour comment, ignorance must not really be bliss

  • That will be good the pickled ketchup crisp salad and monster steak mmmm

  • Comment removed

  • 24 hours to cook a meal is far too long. It tastes so good because you've been starving for a day waiting to eat it

  • so this is why 2 dollar worth of meat cost 50 dollar at a restaurant

  • If you have caged birds and want them dead ... leave a Teflon-coated pan without anything in it on the stove for twenty minutes.

    HIGHLY TOXIC!

  • @fokGoogol lol i wouldn't recommen that either

  • @Theiammadmad That's why he said cast-iron and not non-stick

  • As much as I like Heston his recipies are far to long winded for any normal person to do at home.

  • @huweybaby its only about 20 minutes each day thats not too bad

  • @huweybaby well it's just their problem buddy

  • @huweybaby you dont get three michelin stars for making dishes any kitchen noob could create with a cookbook and 40 minutes of spare time :P

  • Has anyone noticed that has done GCSE biology that 90% of the stuff that comes out of a chefs mouth is bullshit.

  • @mcraregreat234543

    kinda like generating flavour compounds that will make the meat more flavoursome 

  • @mcraregreat234543 Has anyone noticed that having skills like this has got him 3 Michelin stars and whose restaurant has been in the top 5 in the world for the past 2 years? Now i don't know biology but i do know cooking and cooking is what he does. He's not a biologist, he's a chef and a fucking great one at that. 

  • @jamieandrews1994 i wasn't ripping on him i think he's a great chef same as you but he bullshits ALOOT

  • @mcraregreat234543 I Agree, i seek explanation too

  • @mcraregreat234543 some, yes. all, not quite.

  • i'd hate to have his electricity bill !

    still a living culinary legend , pure genius

  • @superdonyougy don't see why not. it's another way of doing it but sure the results would still be good.

  • Do you need to char the steaks first, can I just vacuum pack them raw with seasoning and then sear them after 18 hour sous vide cooking?.

    I want to cook the perfect steak, the 18-24 hour type, I've bought myself a waterbath from a lab equipment place and it keeps water +/- 0.5 degrees but I don't want to kill myself doing it!.

  • Hmmn this guy can cook, and believe it or not, i think i've seen him playing in a band else where on youtube, If it's not him he's got a double.

    type i wish it would rain 5150, the guy comes into the video near the end

  • This almost (almost!) converted me back from vegetarianism!

  • @porko98765 Hahahahahahahahahahaha...That'­s the best you can come up with you brain dead numskull.

  • Eating this steak would be like holding your load in for 3 weeks and having sex with a super model...while eating steak...

  • Are you kidding..this guy is pulling his pudd...he talks about taste and flavour and then tosses in handfuls of sugar and corn flour. How can it not be tasty with these two ingredients, problem is..within minutes of chowing down on this lip smacking time-bomb, your blood sugar level is going to hit the roof as your liver loses control and your pancreas reacts by shooting you up with insulin which will ultimately raise your LDL's and triglicerides. Shame his 'science' doesn't include your health.

  • @smackcheeks fuck off you square diabetic cunt

  • @smackcheeks

    dude, 3 michelin stars.

    nuff said.

  • @smackcheeks Dude i dont think a bit of sugar and corn flower will kill you!! you obviously know nothing about cooking and are a paranoid mentalist!!!!

  • Hester licked the spoon and put it back into the mushroom sauce! OY!!

  • why did he cut off the charred crust?

  • @rabbiteh because it was burnt and not nice to eat. i tried it when i made this myself and it was not pleasant.

  • @chrismair hmm but i thought browning's part and parcel of a nice steak.

  • @rabbiteh it's been sitting around for 24hours in the danger zone. it's coated in bacteria.

  • @rabbiteh Because it hasn't all reached pasteurising temperature (only the parts that the torch browned have), making it serious food poisoning hazard; the bacteria can flow across the browned bits as the juice comes out. Even McDonalds check for the pasteurising temperature. The core of the meat is unlikely to have any harmful bacteria in it at all. It's far more likely it'll be on the outside. By 'cooking' (incubating) it at 50C, it allows the bacteria to breed. That outside part needs to go.

  • Watching that made me so effing hungry i can't even describe it. Damn you:-)

    Need togo find omething in the fridge right now:-p

  • Looks fucking good.
