Marco Pierre White Recipes - Steak with flavoured butters

[shibbel1]

Carbonizing steaks on a extremely hot pan is old school and actually kills the flavor- you don't need a lot of heat to caramelize a steak, medium will do, start with a heavy pan thats dry, brown the steak on its edges first rendering the fat, and follow that with each side. Finish the last two minutes of cooking with a knob of butter and baste a few times. You'll get a beautiful flavorful crust al around.

[rza139]

Marco is the man! I would to have him as my culinary arts teacher.

[BigBlue10122]

Actually the little tip about waiting for the blood to start comeing out is very useful, love this guy

[noughtimus]

Marco is absolutely right about the meat, No news for me. What he says makes lot of sense. If he look like count Dracula is no matter.........haha. He is a good professional.

[3o5Miami]

The only Dyslexic Chef to Recieve 3 Michellin Stars by the time he was 23 years old. He returned all 3 stars however.

[aruzic]

@3o5Miami you mean 33 yo

[tonypie28]

You NEED fat in your diet, so having a steak once a week is probably very good for you, plus it's the best way of getting iron into your diet which you also need.

[fallyfresh7]

this guy is hanibal lecter-esque

[TheDarwiniser]

this is just the kind of food i love.

incredible.

simple, loaded with flavour.

[JoesPlaying]

I don't see why people fight about Ramsay/Pierre, I love watching them both to be honest, no need to fight guys.

[israhe11tribe]

afterapplepicking ----- u're so Fucking right!!!!

[afterapplepicking]

I see people talking about how much fat is in this. I gotta say...you're right. Eating this too much would kill you. But the thing about it is that Marco Pierre White doesn't care how much fat is in it. He's not your cardiologist and he's not your nutritionist. He's a chef. He's looking out for your pleasure. Not your blood pressure. He's trying to serve you and your lady friend a meal that will get you laid when the night is over.

[DrkInf]

@afterapplepicking AMEN!

[Antiks72]

@afterapplepicking Rubbish, all that fat isn't going to kill you. That's nonsense.

[williamwilson666]

@afterapplepicking Eating anything too much would kill you. That's what too much means.

[ghostfaced1]

@afterapplepicking Well said that man or woman!

[oakbubble]

Oh culinary school is part of apprenticeship, sorry did not mean to mislead, you go for one month per year, for three years and must have 5500 hours of training on the job.

Sorry about the repost.

Cheers!

[oakbubble]

I went to culinary school and served an apprenticeship in the kitchen. This man is a master at his craft, I still watch him.

Just a heads up for those wondering, yes you should be able to tell by looking, imagine you are cooking thirty tenderloins at once in a large skillet and eight salmon in the oven for a wedding.

How can you run around and touch them all? It's temperature that matters most, time second and long experience. Watch this guy, he is the best I have ever seen on video.

[vovocka06]

Marco Pierre you are amazing

[martiallaw201]

Onion butter - genius!

[CT2507]

haha... he sounds pissy! like he is annoyed all the time! ;)

[alundrasrt]

3 steaks hits combo and without vegetables, yum!

[TheInfernal36]

he's half right in this...every cut of steak and place you buy steak is different. However, my general rule of thumb for most steaks that are 1.5 inches thick to 2 inches thick is usually 2 2 5 7 for medium rare. Get your pan really hot...(this can't be understated) and then fry the steak for 1.5 to 2 min each side, then 15s for the fat side and then put in the oven over a rack. Cook at very high(500) for 4-5min and let rest for 7. Promise, will work out.

[Laurisa718]

I love this guy! I've learned so much by watching these videos. Thank you for posting.

[vircabutar]

WHAT a sellout

[allycat114]

he's amazing. way better than ramsay.

[CT2507]

@allycat114 nahh.. he isnt. he is too old school. to fatty recepies. and his presentations are often boring compared to Ramsay's!

plus he is very bitchy and negative. he has got that efeminised pissy type of histerical/volatile character....propably got it after his mother... lol

Ramsay on the other hand is very inspiring....on more than one level.

[jimmypalmhager]

If you look at Ramsays dishes (when he still was in the kitchen) you can clearly see that he has taken a lot  them straight from Marco from the Harvey days. Even the plates!

Gordon is a talented cook, No doubt about that but his food has never been that inspiring in my opinion.

[CT2507]

@jimmypalmhager each to his own i guess... i dont like Marco pissy and arrogant nature. his personality is too intrusive. he demands attention in that pretentious way that i dont think even 3 michelein stars deserve. not even being a genoious at something.

Ramsay on the other hand, his bark is worse than his bite. i can see the friendly nature behind his tough exterior. he is very good at explaning exactly what u need to know in a very structured way. that is inspiring to me.

[jimmypalmhager]

@CT2507 Fair enough! Hey have a look at Raymond Blanc kitchen secrets, I think they are here at Y.tube.

He is really good at explaining complicated things made easy.. And he seems to be a really nice guy to ;)

[ThatMaskedGuy]

Now i just realize he is damn popular after watching his show on TLC

[vcxlll]

everything looks GREAT, and then suddenly : HOLY SHIT, THATS AALOTTTTT OF BUTTER O.O HAHAHAHA

[MrDarkTides]

Marco needs to be back on tv, he's amazing!

[humpingbird]

This is what I call VEGETARIAN DELIGHT

[celebrityscience]

I couldn't give a flying fuck how fatty this is/isn't, it looks absolutely delicious.

[frdrcksncn]

I'm intimidated by this guy, more than Ramsay.

[blackonecro]

@frdrcksncn to be honest, he fucking scares me. I thought Ramsay's badass, Marco makes him look like a puppy. Ramsay = small demon, Marco = lucifer

[DeluxeWarPlaya]

@blackonecro haha, true.. marco taught gordon a lot of what he knows... its funny to see gordon never using stock cubes, but marco uses them all the time... big difference in their styles...

[nubxpro]

@blackonecro Apparently Marco was the only person to ever make Gordon cry in his adult life.

[ThatMaskedGuy]

is this guy supposed to be popular or something?



[frdrcksncn]

@ThatMaskedGuy This guy took Gordon Ramsay under his wing!

[Thoserainydayz111]

@ThatMaskedGuy

do your research and you'll see that he's more then just "popular"

[SoooBlue]

@Thoserainydayz111 I wouldn't eat anything he cooks.

[orrinization]

I think I'm going to hurl. I mostly eat vegetarian, but when I go for meat I don't need it oil rubbed, cooked in deep oil, AND buttered on top. No wonder people get heart disease.

[6bProductions]

@orrinization Actually fats from oil do NOT promote heart disease, you have to go to your excessive carbs for that. We have been lied to since the 50's. The oil Not to use are Vegetable oils like Corn, soy and canola, all man-made with industrial solvents and deorderizers. Fear the bread not the Butter.

[orrinization]

@6bProductions I'll agree that too much bread and all homogenized oils are terrible, but believing animal fats won't contribute to heart disease is a great way to get to know your friendly neighborhood EMT.

If you work a horse-drawn plow all day and carry your water from the well you might get away with lard and bacon for every meal. Most of us don't.

[6bProductions]

@orrinization I'm sorry you need to know the scientific facts not the myths Heart disease has sky rocketed since we went low fat. Only surgeons have kept the mortality rate down, so if you want to be saved by a surgeon, continue to eat the low fat way. Read Gary Taubes Im diabetic and have my blood work checked four times a year. Since eating more real food, fats and all and no grains, very little carbs outside veggies, my numbers have improved, I am stronger in health then I ever have been.

[orrinization]

@6bProductions I don't eat low fat, I just don't eat high fat. This meal is terribly fatty for no good reason. Since White didn't state otherwise I'd assume the beef is grain fed. The butter is gratuitous. The oil rub has a massive concentration of salt from the Knorr cube.

Slate has a good primer on beef quality: slate.com/id/2152674/

It's great that high protein/low carb works for you, but high saturated fat, high salt, and industrial feed-lot meat aren't healthy.

[triptypal]

shallots

[marky0902]

What were the 2 butters? Parsley butter and..?

[yahoooutstanding]

This association with Knorr really is shameful. The pitiful amount of the stock that is used in all of these recipes is so tenuous that it's difficult for Knorr to advertise their products.

Oh well, money rules and all that but it is sad to see one of the best reducing himself to this sham of a series.

[InnuendoXP]

@yahoooutstanding

you tried it? cus it works. It's basically flavoured salt, which is the same reason people use fish sauce, soy sauce, worcestershire.etc to add flavour. I've tried it. Not with knorr, but it works.

If you want real stock then make real stock, it's dead easy. Stock cubes may as well be a cheap vegetable salt, use them as such. There's nothing wrong with them.

[yahoooutstanding]

@InnuendoXP You're right, there isn't anything wrong with them but that wasn't my point, was it?

[ddicecca]

@Shadow194 - and what are YOU talking about?! The bottom line is that a stock cube is being used - period. The point is this: he IS using it. Who cares on whether or not it is being used to make a stock or as a paste. As a matter-of-fact, the fact that he is using it as a paste is WORSE! It is more concentrated!

[ImOuttaBedShutUpNow]

You all talk about this man being a genius. Smart, sure. Gifted chef, ya. But a genius? Nah. Theoretical Physicists making leaps forward in the scientific community are geniuses. This guy cooks. Not to say I don't respect his career choice. I love good food.

[SuperFlashDelirium]

@ImOuttaBedShutUpNow I think they mean genius in his field. There's nothing about cooking this guy doesn't know. 

[gostraelkyrial]

@ImOuttaBedShutUpNow Genius in cooking.

[EpicPoseidonBeard]

I wish i had a drop of this man's charisma.

[boing3887]

JESUS CHRIST this guy is a genius

[AbstractMan23]

this guy makes me feel nervous

[lukeanson]

@AbstractMan23 he made Gordon Ramsay cry!

[AbstractMan23]

@lukeanson haha no way? is there footage of that?!

[SovereignBeing]

he can butter my parsley any time.

[MrDontstareitsrude]

I don't blame marco for returning his 3 michelin stars who the fuck needs them anyway he can still cook a 3 star meal his cooking ability hasn't gone.

[JVL8701]

cube....????? knorrr? thts chemical

[cameosam]

Wow.. this makes me rage so hard. Marco selling out big time.. i mean come on stock cubes? seriously?

[houseofchintz]

Yum Knorr beef stock cube. Make your steaks taste like a fucking white trash wedding reception.

[animejoao]

i think its funny that people thinks that marco is using something just because they are paying him to do it, think for a moment, he is already one of the most well know chefs in the world, his reputation is perfect. so why he would use something that he personally doesnt aprove. of course he may not use knorr in his restaurant dishes, but i think its okay if you are cooking for yourself at home. what of course is the focus of this video. plz, stop saying shit when you dont know nothing about.

[JVL8701]

@animejoao i knoe tht using shitty ingriedient makes shitty food

[ChainsawJulietx]

Uh guys, you make me laugh.

You really think he uses shitty stock cubes at home? LOL!

Knorr pays him to use them, it's a form of promotion.

[JVL8701]

@ChainsawJulietx knorr is already shitty product

[ChainsawJulietx]

@JVL8701 Which is why they use Pierre to promote their shitty product.

[Skylur45]

Dinner of 3 steaks. What a man.

[nejcb]

Haha, Knorr cube. What kind of chef he is ffs? A famous one for rubbing a Knorr cube on the steak? Pathetic.

[Lizardatsparks]

He is the spoke's person for Knorr Foods.. NOW he uses it in all his taped shows. BUT he said in an interview. Knorr foods is okay but he and his family will not eat it.

[kikenhana]

What kind of chef is this, using a Knorr cube?! "In my opinion it tastes better"...of course, cuz' the cube is full of glutamate!!! This is horrible, an insult to real cooking!

[bbezamat]

@obrittnels0 you had me crying! almost as funny as someone who asked why pierre koffman was wearing grandmas sweater in vid. marco cooks=best cooking series EVER. nothing like it anymore. its a shame. selling out is what they all do eventually. i would too if i worked 15 hours a day for 20 years

[kkvnathk]

I have no respect for someone who shortcuts these things and just uses knorr. You should read the ingredients on those knorr packets, it's really no difference from taking the seasoning in cup noodles and putting it over your steak.

[kiminokami]

@kkvnathk Yeah, I mostly agree. I want to like the guy, since he is Gordon Ramsay's mentor, but this puts me off.

[natogandalf]

@kkvnathk You don't think the Knorr branding of the video is a pointer to that it MIGHT be a commercial?

[kkvnathk]

@natogandalf of course i do...it's saddening when a chef of this caliber would do this kind of shit.

[Skylur45]

@kkvnathk Think you're a better chef than he is?

[xxxxjacyxxxx]

Gosh he's sexy!!

[InnuendoXP]

I've studied commercial cookery and am interested in becoming an apprentice chef but holy crap most experienced chefs I've met are scary as hell!!!

Marco, I have a lot of respect for. Like many though, he looks like he could flay you alive with his thoughts

[ShatterEffectt]

@InnuendoXP lol when gordan ramsey worked for him, he made gordan cry lol.

[InnuendoXP]

@ShatterEffectt

lol I think i've seen that reference multiple times on just about every MPW video and half of GR's ones

[ARadicalAliensNoun]

This man is a culinary genius whoring for Knorr. I have no problem with whoring or Knorr, but it makes a very depressing show.

[TheHockeyCentral]

Marco scares me more than Ramsay. Mainly BECAUSE he is more quiet and less loud.

[mirthngirth]

He confessed to using Knorr stock cubes in his Three Star Michelin resto Harveys!

[castorel]

@mirthngirth "Harveys" was a 2 Michelin star restaurant only.

[nanakon28]

He's so bad ass he doesn't use a spatula or tongs to flip the chops, he uses a knife.

[NarisTorquere]

those beef stock cubes are suspect considering his endorsement of them

[RealSnowWhite]

@NarisTorquere it's because this video is for the knorr website lol hence the use of the stock cubes.

[0Brittnels0]

Me personally, i will be rubbing my steaks with a rubik's cube.

[RGwhelan15]

@0Brittnels0 now that's smart

[0Brittnels0]

I am scared! Dad is cooking T-bones tonight, and plans to rub them with a stock cube.... oh shit!

[ddicecca]

I am a little disappointed that Marco is "pushing" the use of a product that contains MSG . . .

[CashierHua]

@ddicecca Very disappointing indeed. Not too long ago, he would have chastised anybody for using stock cubes containing msg. I guess, he needs the money..

[Shadow194]

@CashierHua Wtf are you talking about? He is using a stock cube as a seasoning/paste....

He wouldn't use it to make stock.

[TheAcer8910]

he's very wise and more instructive than rumbling ramsay, personally he is very instructive and calm

[quityojibbajabbaa]

@TheAcer8910 you are joking right? This is the same man that threw pans across the kitchen and slapped most of his brigade (including Gordon) in the face for making mistakes. Im sorry but Ramsay is a saint compared to this man.

[anurek123]

"you get people who feel and touch the steak" . he is talking about ramsay. i have seen ramsay talking about the same thing how you can make if its rare medium etc by touching it. lolz:P this guy is a genius. :D

[TheHockeyCentral]

@anurek123 Most chefs do that actually. Not JUST Ramsay.  Most chef will know when a steak is done by it's texture by touching it.

[rofldinho]

@TheHockeyCentral yeah. Only thing is touching it isn't very helpful to us common folk who aren't professional chef. They will have grilled steak countless times when practicing or working, they know from practice what it feels like. Marco has given a much better method here. However, one flaw is that blood isn't a foolproof method either, I've tried this method before and not noticed the blood "coming out", even until the damn thing was burnt!

[rumpole33]

@rofldinho: maybe your pan wasnt hot enough to start with. just a suggestion.

[cococho84]

@anurek123 You can very much, actually. As meat cooks, it stiffens. If you have enough experience cooking (and you know where your meat comes from -- that being the true value of Mr. White's comment) you can tell the exact stage at which the meat is at. Not only G. Ramsay uses this technique; a good cook should be able to recognize any stage of a cooking process with any one of the 5 senses.

BTW, M.P. White and G. Ramsay get along pretty well, as Ramsay worked and was mentored by White.

[rumpole33]

@cococho84: mpw & ramsay dont get along. read mpw's book, devil in the kitchen, and u'd know why they dont get along.

[ianman6]

@anurek123 He is talking about alot of people. The touching method is the most common method used by chefs and cooks. The method in this video is another way, and requires some experience.

[GrendelPL]

@anurek123 not only Ramsay does that - many other chefs does that - in a different way thou... Some suggest to touch wrist, palm chin etc... some other suggest the touching thumb with index finger, ring finger and pinkie...

[Socksx0]

@anurek123 Marco Pierre White is the man behind Ramsey...

[gostraelkyrial]

@anurek123 You do know Gordon Ramsay is Marco Pierre White's disciple right?

[simonhillwrexham]

@anurek123 All chef's touch your steak to see what grade it is cooked.

[retrotw]

@anurek123 most chefs use the touch method as an indication...he in fact have a good relationship with gordon ramsay..

[ajayalmighty]

@retrotw Good relationship? They used to maybe 15 years ago...Now Marco has denounced him several times all over the news

[anurek123]

here is the difference ramsay shouts Marco stares. and beleive the stare is more deadly.

[DXXMan]

Marco Pierre White simply the best, calm, relaxed and knows what he is doing. I would work with him than with Ramsay.

[jessc1979]

@DXXMan Well.... he hasn't been in a kitchen in over 10 years, so perhaps that's why he's so calm. But you read stories about him and if they're even 1/2 true, he makes Ramsay look like Gandhi.

If what Ramsay says about Marco PIerre White is true, I'd rather work with Ramsay. No flying pans across the kitchen, being slapped in the face, etc.

[jessc1979]

But I do agree that he seems more calm and relaxed here. His cooking videos are a lot more instructive than Ramsay's which is full of music and goes too fast.

[0kaplah0]

@bloodorange2

What do you think is in those smokes he chugs away on day and night, I doubt he worries whats in a stock cube, fuckity fuck fuck

[Rampoii]

Thanx for dropping the knowledge..!! not many tv cooks do that.

[Zephilindrum]

@bloodorange2 And what do you season steak with? Salt.

You don't get the point do you? It IS a cube of salt, but with extra flavour, flavours that enhance the taste of the meat. Not compliment it or mask it, but enhance it.

[MrHonzour]

Does really guy with 3 Michelin stars use Knorr products?

In my opinion, he does not.

[Zephilindrum]

@MrHonzour You should remember that these videos are meant for home cooking, not professional restaurant style cooking. If you wanna call him out on that then go ahead, re-make his chicken dish. Go roast a whole chicken to the point where it's inedibly dry just to collect the juices. Go sous vide another portion of chicken and brown it in butter then make your dish.

If you really wanna call him out on this kind of thing maybe you should look at his Michelin-Starred recipes.

[souldude81]

A little too much butter for me.

[autodidactchef]

Wow! there's tons of Marco stuff on the knorr website...it's like having your own private tutor.

[bloodorange2]

A simple salad? What like a dumb salad.. Educate your pallet ketchup boy..

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

@bloodorange2

Why not put BBQ sauce on? If you like sauce with steak, have sauce with steak. If you like a simple salad, have a simple salad. If you like chips, have chips.

There are right and wrong ways to cook things, but individual preference is individual preference.

For me, resting juices, used with a little fino sherry to deglaze the pan, works fine.

[hallnoats4ever]

@bloodorange2 that's a lot a butter, this is called the heart a tack meal

[MrGingeman]

yea would love to see more of this

[AboveBeyond69]

Is there a whole series of episodes like this, if so whats the show called?

[gordon16663]

@AboveBeyond69 Its all on the Knorr wesite you can also see tips and win competitions to his restaurants and get lessons from him
