I Tried the VIRAL Pineapple Teriyaki Steak Chefs Swear By!

I was told the secret to the best teriyaki sauce is pineapple, but that’s not how traditional teriyaki is made. I had to put this claim to the test, and the results left me speechless.

This is one of the most popular sauces in the world created in Japan. There are several different uses for it. Most of the time, it goes really well with meats, but chefs are using a secret ingredient in order to make this sauce even more special for meats. As soon as I found that out, I needed to try it for myself because this is teriyaki sauce. Now, if you’ve never made it yourself, let me show you how simple it is to make it from scratch. Into a bowl, combine some medium soy sauce and sugar. Whisk everything together until the sugar is dissolved. And into a penny goes to reduce. Keep it under medium heat. Since it has sugar, you will burn it if you overdo it. You want to reduce this until you have the thickness that you’re happy with. I like mine this thick. Now, this is the most basic way of making teriyak sauce. You can go ahead and add aromatics, but in its basic form, this is it. It is that simple. And you’ll be surprised how much better this is from the store-bought stuff. Now, in order to keep this experiment consistent, I’ll be using this one as our control. As you already know, teriyaki sauce goes well with any meat, but we all know steaks is better than any other. And these are from my friends from Rivervand Ranch. It’s beef raised in America and aged for 21 days, which at least to me, it’s the perfect combination. Now, just like every steak, you got to season this thing properly. Once that was done, I grabbed one steak and did this. Oh yes, the more the better. Now remember, this one is the basic one with nothing special as once this was ready, into the bag it goes. as I’ll be cooking this steak suvi because here is the special ingredient a lot of chefs are using on their teriyaki sauce pineapple not fresh straight from the can. Pineapple is a very interesting fruit because it has one specific enzyme bromelain. Its job is to break down tissue. So in theory if you use this in your teriyaki sauce it will make your steaks more tender and better because after a little bit of pineapple is crushed. I did everything exactly the same as the previous one. No difference, no modification, no changes. We’re keeping things consistent because if pineapple is going to make things better, I don’t want any interference as once the sauce was complete. Check it out. It looks good, but it’s chunky. So, I went ahead and grabbed the steak and did the same exact thing to it. Adding a generous amount. I’m hoping that this one will be a lot better than the previous one, especially the tenderness. as after getting all of the steaks ready, I’ll be cooking them sousi at 135° F. It will cook them to perfection. That way, we will have a true comparison. And as that was going, it gave me time to put together a quick side dish. Now, if you love stir fry noodles, you’re going to be surprised on how simple and easy this one is. I had some chicken breast, so I went ahead and threw that in, followed by salt and a generous amount of teriyaki sauce. Mix that up real good and set it aside. Now, into a walk, I threw in some oil, followed by a little bit of beef that I had left from yesterday. Start cooking that up and as soon as you get a little bit of color, throw in the chicken. Now, like I said previously, these are leftovers, so it is simple and easy to make this dish with anything you have. Once they were fully done, I set it aside, cleaned up my walk, and added a little bit of oil, followed by sesame seed oil, and a few vegetables I had available, which are white onions, green onions, red bell peppers, and garlic. Stir fry that for a little bit, and as soon as they start getting a little bit of color, throw in your favorite noodles, followed by a little bit of soy sauce. Now, stir fry everything and combine those flavors together. I wanted mine slightly spicy, so I went ahead and added some chili oil, followed by teriyaki sauce. Now, mix and combine all these flavors. Throw all of the meats right back in. Add a little bit of sesame seeds. And that is how simple it is to make this dish. Since it has both chicken and steak, it should please everyone, even the chicken haters, if you know what I mean. As now that we have this ready, our steaks were fully cooked. So, I went ahead and got them, took them out of the bag, and it looks like the teriyaki sauce penetrated deeply in there. I have a feeling the amount of penetration on the meat was just right, especially because it was only cooked for 2 and 1/2 hours. But there’s one thing that we must do. As I know they don’t look that good right now, but watch this. [Music] All right, everybody. And here we got our beautiful feast. Gentlemen, are you guys hungry? Huh? Very hungry. Lot of steak today. Google. Lot of steak. So, I do have an experiment going on here. Let me know if it’s an improvement or not. Enough talking. Let’s give this a try right now. We’re going to start right here, gentlemen. Please dig in. Give me your true honest opinion. Let me know how it tastes. Does it smell good? Oh yes, it does. Every smells good as always. Enough talking. Let’s give it a try. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. It’s always amazing. What does it taste like, Felix? The perfect Google steak, Google. You can never go wrong with the suvid steak. I agree. What about you, Google? I literally sat back in my chair from how good this steak tastes. The seasonings are great. It’s absolutely the juiciest steak you will ever have because it was cooked sousvid. This is beautiful. Tender, juicy perfection. You will not regret it. That is delicious. Now that’s our baseline is control. Obviously nothing crazy, nothing different, but let’s try the next one. Smell it first. That actually smells really good. It smells good. Smells good. Smell good, everybody. Smell really good. All right, let’s give it a try. Cheers, everybody. Cheers. What do you think, Z? The crust is super different. It’s It’s a lot crispier. I actually really like that. There’s an interesting flavor there that’s almost like a little bit of sweetness. is got a very Asian vibe to it. Mhm. You Oh, you don’t want to talk. This man just want to eat. Everybody give him some more meat. He’ll be happy. No, but it’s good. It has a little bit more of like um an umami flavor that the first one didn’t have. So, it’s I I actually prefer it. It’s pretty good. Wow. You prefer this one than the previous one? Yeah, it’s good. Wow. You Yeah, me too, actually. Really? I really like that crust. It’s very different. The reason the crust is so pronounced is because it has a little bit of sugar, whatever it is that I put on it. So, as you put the flamethrower and the flamethrower is powerful, you get a little bit more char. And that char is a desirable char. It’s not a burn char like h. It’s a burn char like h. Before we move to the next one, which is the most craziest one of them all, I made a little side dish over here. Huh. So, let’s give it a try. Give me your honest opinion. Cheers, everybody. Cheers. M. Damn, that is delicious. That’s amazing. It’s so simple and easy to make. So flavorful. Yeah. You made this one though? Yeah. It’s I mean I honestly I can’t tell the difference if you got it from a Chinese restaurant. It’s that good. I take that as a big compliment. It’s good. It’s very good. So it tastes like a Chinese what? Like lumin. Oh, okay. How about you? I like it a lot. Every noodle is coated with a wonderful marinade. It’s like sweet. It’s a little spicy, too. And the chicken is perfect to combine with it. Well, this is a good win, everybody. It’s nice and easy to make. But whenever you do it, just make sure you use chicken and steak, everybody. But let’s jump onto the last one. Please dig in, guys. Let’s go. I want to know your honest opinion. It smells quite different. It smells unique, and I’m wondering what is it going to taste like. Let’s give it a try. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. [Music] Yo. Wow. What do you think? I really like this steak, guys. It is a lot softer, more tender, and it’s more flavorful. Much much more flavorful. How about you? I like it, but honestly, it’s a little too sweet for me. It is a lot more tender and a little more juicy than maybe the second one, but I do prefer the taste of the second one. Just it’s a little more savory. This third one is so tender. It’s almost like too much. Like you still eat it waggy or something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like like it’s super tender. Like when you taking bites, there is no resistance whatsoever. So, I understand where you’re coming from. However, I’m a tender man. You know what I mean? Maybe I’m losing my teeth and I have no more teeth. You know what I’m saying? But I enjoy this one. How about you, Leah? Which one you like better? I think I like the third one more. Yes, I agree with Felix. It is sweeter. However, it has that really nice crust that the second steak had. Plus, it’s just more flavorful. I like it as well. Me and you are on the same page 100%. So, here’s the deal. Both of these steaks I use teriyak sauce, but one of them is the traditional teriyak version and the other one is used with pineapple juice. And the reason it became more tender is because pineapple juice has something called bromelain, which is an enzyme that breaks down meat and it makes meat more tender. So, it makes sense. It is a very good success. Everybody, if you like your steak a little bit more tender and slightly sweet, use the pineapple juice and the fruit because I enjoyed it. You? I liked it a lot. You? Not so much. There you go. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. If you did, hit that thumbs up. If you’re not a subscriber, be sure to subscribe. And we’ll see you guys on the next one.
