Yo, Sass, what's for lunch?
00:03
Steak.
00:04
All right, let's do some steaks.
00:05
Let's get cooking.
00:06
♪ I'm a private chef, cook for money, yeah. ♪
00:09
♪♪
00:13
Guys, welcome back to What's for Lunch.
00:15
Sass, welcome to the kitchen.
00:16
Thank you for having me.
00:17
We're doing some steaks today.
00:18
Are you good at cooking steaks?
00:19
Do you cook at all?
00:20
What's your level of, what are we working with here?
00:21
No, I know how to cook steak, sort of.
00:24
I just usually pan sear it.
00:25
Perfect, well, we'll do that.
00:26
We're gonna make a quick sauce,
00:27
and then I have some potatoes we'll puree up.
00:29
Yeah, it's not rocket science.
00:30
We have some nice New York strips here.
00:31
I'm gonna have you cook side-by-side.
00:32
Usually, the guests, we're doing it switching off.
00:34
We're gonna do two burners and play around at the same time.
00:37
Awesome, sounds good.
00:39
So, how often do you think, I guess you're in New York,
00:41
so it's like, you have great food.
00:43
Yeah, how often are you cooking?
00:44
Never.
00:45
You knew the question before I asked it, never.
00:46
If I cook anything, it is steak,
00:48
but it's just because it's easier to cook it,
00:49
then I'm not gonna order Uber Eats' steak.
00:52
Right, especially in your city apartment kitchen,
00:54
it's fucking, you smoke it out.
00:56
I would never cook in mine,
00:57
because the whole place just smells like meat.
00:59
You're on your own now, right, apartment-wise?
01:00
Yeah.
01:01
I remember back when you were with Dukes,
01:02
and that kitchen was fucking,
01:04
having roommates in a handmade kitchen
01:06
is the hardest thing, it's just never clean.
01:08
That kitchen's probably way bigger
01:09
than my kitchen actively.
01:10
Is it?
01:11
And my kitchen now is smaller than this.
01:13
Oh, fuck.
01:14
Damn, well, that's even more impressive
01:15
than if you're cooking steaks and doing shit in there.
01:17
Great New York strips, like I said,
01:19
all we're gonna do to these is just salt.
01:21
I don't like to do pepper, unless I'm grilling,
01:23
because with the high heat, pepper can burn quick.
01:25
Some people say they love it.
01:27
Some people swear by it.
01:28
Some people don't.
01:29
What's your go-to meal when you're out, then?
01:30
Are you a pretty adventurous eater?
01:32
No, not at all.
01:32
Cheeseburger.
01:33
That's it?
01:34
Yeah, yeah.
01:35
It's so simple?
01:36
Or chicken fingers.
01:37
Chicken fingers?
01:37
Yeah.
01:38
What's that?
01:39
Come on, dude.
01:40
I mean, you're what?
01:41
You're 20, 22?
01:42
23.
01:42
23?
01:43
25, I think you gotta-
01:44
I like it, but-
01:45
All right.
01:46
I mean, I like all food,
01:47
but I just don't like adventuring out.
01:48
I like to eat whatever's closest to me.
01:50
For these, though, you want it hot as shit.
01:52
People always get, home cooks are afraid of the smoke,
01:54
but that's why we're gonna use avocado oil, though,
01:56
on these.
01:57
Awesome.
01:58
Because much higher smoke point,
01:59
you can get that high heat.
02:00
And if we want to take the steaks,
02:01
you lay them away from you
02:02
so you don't get any splash,
02:03
and we can just start cooking.
02:05
So if you want to go ahead and do yours.
02:08
Look at that.
02:09
Beauty.
02:10
Natural.
02:11
I'm gonna turn these fans on.
02:11
Yeah.
02:12
And I always just give it a really good press down.
02:15
We want to build a good crust.
02:16
Now it's gonna start to stick.
02:18
So the biggest mistake people make,
02:19
they try to lift it up too soon.
02:20
Yeah, yeah.
02:21
And it's like they tear it.
02:22
You want to let it just start building that crust.
02:24
And there is a lot of smoke when you're cooking steaks, so.
02:26
Yeah, no, this is never what it looks like in my apartment.
02:28
Yeah, it's lower heat.
02:29
Yes, you know, it's what is needed.
02:31
This has kind of become a comedian show, too,
02:33
because all the comics come through Chicago.
02:34
Yeah.
02:35
And move on, so.
02:36
It's nice to add you to that list.
02:37
Well, it's probably because none of them
02:38
ever have home cooked meals.
02:38
Yeah, that's true, too.
02:39
Yeah.
02:40
The road is tough.
02:41
I guess if you have chicken fingers,
02:42
it makes it a little easier.
02:43
Well, that's why.
02:43
You got to find something and you got to stick with it.
02:44
Do you usually eat at the clubs?
02:45
I'll try not to eat at clubs.
02:47
No?
02:48
Because it's awful.
02:49
Everywhere.
02:54
What's your favorite city to do stand up in
02:55
besides New York?
02:56
Philadelphia.
02:57
Philly?
02:58
Yeah, Philly's the best.
02:59
Start to take a look at these.
03:00
These are big ass steaks.
03:02
Thick.
03:03
Yeah, they're thick steaks.
03:03
Thick as hell.
03:04
Yeah, they're thick.
03:05
So it's going to take a little longer.
03:06
See how it's come off the pan,
03:07
so there's a good crust already starting.
03:08
Growing up as a kid, were your parents big cooks?
03:10
Did you have a lot of home cooked,
03:11
like good, at least good parents that know?
03:13
Yeah, we ate at home, but it wasn't ever great.
03:17
So yours is looking good.
03:18
I'm going to give yours a flip there.
03:19
All right.
03:20
Might be a little on the strong side.
03:21
All good.
03:22
A little bit on the strong side.
03:23
For steaks, you know the trick to like feel it?
03:25
Like, so you use the palm of your hand.
03:27
This is like a good indication for rare,
03:30
medium rare, medium well,
03:32
and like that's like well done, just the firmness.
03:33
So if you're feeling your steak,
03:35
you can feel your hand, you can kind of play off that.
03:38
Interesting.
03:40
I like mine well done.
03:42
Is that how you like your steaks?
03:42
No.
03:43
Yeah, we have more issues.
03:45
How do you eat your steaks?
03:46
I should have asked you before we started.
03:47
What's your rare, medium rare?
03:49
All right, good.
03:50
That's what we're going to go for here.
03:51
Oh, this is like, have you ever done steaks before?
03:53
On this?
03:54
Never like just the steak,
03:55
like teaching someone how to make one.
03:56
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no.
03:57
This is the big one.
03:58
People get pissed off about this.
03:59
People do get pissed off.
04:00
Yeah, yeah.
04:01
People get pissed off about everything,
04:02
especially like cooking.
04:03
I mean, it's similar to comedy where it's like,
04:05
people love to just critique like the nuances
04:06
and the small things of it.
04:07
And it's like everyone and their mother
04:09
has a different way to do cooking.
04:10
It's like, I'd say it all the time.
04:11
If you gave 10 comedians the same premise,
04:14
good chance that they come up with the same punchline.
04:16
So it's like cooking, give them the same ingredients.
04:18
Chefs, they're going to make the same food.
04:19
Is that a big thing in the cooking community?
04:22
It's like you stole that recipe?
04:24
It's sometimes, but I don't think it's as big
04:27
as the stealing jokes in comedy.
04:29
It's not like that.
04:30
People hate on it, like following recipes.
04:32
I follow recipes all the time.
04:33
If you need something you've never made before,
04:35
I'll look at 10 recipes, see what's the same,
04:37
see what's different and then just like go use them as guides.
04:39
Go from there.
04:40
Yeah, yeah.
04:41
But I think it is similar,
04:41
like at least the internet cooking is similar to comedy
04:44
where a lot of young cooks have gotten blown up
04:46
because they're really good at social media.
04:48
Oh yeah, yeah.
04:48
And then like old chefs are like-
04:50
They're pissed.
04:51
Like they haven't gotten online.
04:51
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:52
It's like that disconnect,
04:53
which is kind of why I went to France
04:55
and worked in a restaurant,
04:56
because I felt like I want to prove
04:57
that I'm not just internet shit.
05:00
But there's a nice fat cap on the side.
05:01
So we want to sear that off.
05:03
So if you want to just hold it on the side like this,
05:05
where you get that going.
05:06
All right, this one's just about done.
05:08
We're going to finish these now with butter.
05:10
We're going to baste them with butter and herbs.
05:11
So this is how you get the final flavor.
05:13
Yeah, I've never done this.
05:14
So you take a big-
05:15
This is usually where my process ends.
05:17
This ends?
05:19
This is how you take it to-
05:19
This is one step further.
05:21
So garlic we're going to take.
05:22
We don't have to peel it.
05:23
We just crush it.
05:24
We leave it in the skin,
05:25
otherwise it's going to burn.
05:26
And then we'll go in.
05:27
You want a good amount of butter.
05:28
A little bit of oil.
05:29
Garlic can go in.
05:30
And then I go with some rosemary, sage, just fresh herbs.
05:35
All you're doing, you're tilting the pan back.
05:36
Make sure you get all those herbs.
05:37
See, they're all toasting up in there.
05:39
And you're just taking that butter
05:40
and you're flicking it right on top.
05:42
It's all on that wrist right there.
05:43
Oh, you're left-handed.
05:44
Yeah.
05:45
Okay, so yeah, just tilt it back
05:46
so you have it good.
05:47
And then boom.
05:48
And that's all we got to do that.
05:50
Feels about right.
05:51
Yeah, that's perfect.
05:53
Nice job.
05:55
You want to take it?
05:56
Let's put it right here.
05:57
We'll let these rest.
05:57
Yeah, I have no idea how to do that.
06:00
Just scoop it with a spoon.
06:01
Yeah, finger on top.
06:02
Boom.
06:03
And then we'll finish it off.
06:04
We can put the rest of that brown butter.
06:06
It's right there.
06:07
Give Donny's a little extra love.
06:08
Let your steak rest for like,
06:10
they say half the time that you cooked it for,
06:11
let it rest for at least that long.
06:13
The juices all reabsorbed.
06:14
You cut it now, it's going to bleed out.
06:16
So just let it rest.
06:18
Okay, sauce time.
06:19
The heat doesn't really seem to affect you at all.
06:21
If you cook for long enough,
06:22
you slowly like touch hot plates.
06:24
Yeah, I'm not there at all.
06:26
You burn the nerves, the tips of the fingers.
06:28
You were like, just grab the steak.
06:29
Steak's like 900 degrees.
06:31
We're going to go with red wine.
06:32
Whenever you cook with wine,
06:33
you want to use wine that you would drink
06:35
that has a higher quality because you reduce it.
06:38
You intensify the flavor.
06:39
So if it's shitty wine,
06:40
it's going to make that taste even shittier.
06:42
Red wine goes in.
06:43
We're burning up all the alcohol here.
06:44
We just want the flavor.
06:46
Get a whisk.
06:46
And then once it's pretty reduced,
06:48
now we'll go in with some beef stock.
06:49
Now mix that in.
06:51
Now we'll kill the heat.
06:52
We whisk in cold butter kind of cube by cube
06:55
because if we did it with warm butter, it would split.
06:57
So the fat's melting and it's emulsifying into the sauce.
07:00
So the slower it melts,
07:01
like the droplets, the fat molecules can separate
07:04
and mix in with that water.
07:05
Awesome.
07:06
And then that's how you get like a nice glossy sauce.
07:08
All right, let's slice into these and see how we did.
07:09
You want to go slowly.
07:10
Like this is straight.
07:11
Go like 45 degrees.
07:12
So you get a nice looking cut.
07:14
And boom, look, we crushed that.
07:16
Oh yeah, Sass, that's nice.
07:17
Look at that crust you got on that.
07:18
Sass, his crust is better than mine.
07:20
Holy shit.
07:21
Look at that, dude.
07:22
Let's fucking go.
07:23
Finishing salt.
07:24
So you never want to cook with this,
07:25
but it's always at the ends.
07:26
The salt bae salt.
07:27
Salt over here.
07:28
Is salt bae like, you guys hate him in the community?
07:31
Ah, he's not, he's not like respected.
07:33
But I mean, he's very successful.
07:34
He's made a fuck ton of money.
07:35
So we credit him for that.
07:36
But I don't know, he's just a meme.
07:37
He's a clown.
07:38
Potatoes that I've boiled until they're soft.
07:40
We're going to make a quick puree just for this to sit on.
07:42
It's just potatoes, butter, and heavy cream.
07:47
So then we'll take that puree,
07:49
and then we'll finish with a little of that steak sauce.
07:51
That's how we do a simple steak.
07:53
You crushed it.
07:54
Thank you for having me.
07:54
It was very fun.
07:55
I'll eat this.
07:56
I can't tell if you were just saying that,
07:58
but I had fun.
07:59
No, I'm very excited to eat this.
08:00
Slice in.
08:01
And Big Cat, I know you're waiting.
08:02
So why don't you come around here and have a piece?
08:03
Look at this.
08:05
Look at this, boys.
08:06
This is what Jerry Seinfeld was talking about, right?
08:09
Men being men.
08:10
Yeah, exactly.
08:11
Just eating steaks together.
08:15
Oh yeah.
08:16
That's great.
08:17
It's a simple steak.
08:18
You can't really go wrong with that.
08:19
Guys, that's going to do it for this episode
08:20
of What's for Lunch.
08:20
Sass, thanks for coming.
08:22
Big Cat, thanks for being here.
08:23
Very good.
08:24
Taste test.
08:25
See you next time.
08:25
Peace.
08:26
This is incredible.
