Guga: Breaking the Barbecue Rules

Product Information

Tie 2 thyme sprigs together with butcher's twine. Repeat with 2 more sprigs. Place the steaks over indirect heat, and then place the thyme sprigs on top of the steaks. Place the dish in the smoker. Smoke until the cheese is nice and melted, about 30 minutes. Serve warm. I'm sure his BBQ sections will be a little Meathead-esque in that he does get down to the heart of technique in his videos, although his style doesn't necessarily allow him to highlight it as much as he'd like I'm sure. One thing I've always admired about him is that he is able to consistently turn out perfect steaks (and on common equipment, such as the Weber Kettle).

He also mentions that his grandmother’s culinary skills also inspired him to recreate and experiment with different spices, meats, and flavors.So what did he do? He bought sous vide to cook his favorite meal in his office. The first try was a disaster and a horrible nightmare. But that didn’t stop him from moving forward.

(This bread will last up to 6 months in the freezer.)Set up the grill for two-zone cooking. Preheat to 250 F (121 C). Remove the steaks from the fridge.

Grill for 20 minutes, turning the steaks occasionally, while moving the thyme sprigs to the top sides of the steaks, until the internal temperature reaches 120 F (49 C). Guga’ from Guga Foods real name is Gustavo Tosta. He’s a Brazilian-trained chef turned YouTube star. His YouTube videos include meat cooking experiments, but he teaches many basic BBQ skills like reverse-seared steak and how to cook the most perfect ribeye steak. Then there are the culinary food experiments that make absolutely no sense but somehow, he pulls them off. I mean, I’m not sure what Angel (Guga’s nephew and taste test volunteer) thinks of these, but I think the wildest food experiments include:
