I was guaranteed that THIS is better than MSG, so we tried on steaks!

[Music] this is old-based seasoning and if you've ever been down south you know what this tastes like it is delicious with seafood and chicken but I have never tried with steaks and you all told me that it is fantastic on it so today we're about to find out and for that I got three beautiful steaks as you can see they are New York strip one and a half inches thick and they have fantastic marbling now since I have three of them this is how this experiment is gonna go down the first thing to do is to go ahead and get them seasoned for that I started with a good amount of salt followed by freshly ground black pepper and garlic powder and of course made sure to season them properly except for the one in the middle I want a little light because that's the one we're going to be adding a good amount of oat base seasoning and I was quite generous with it I want to make sure that we feel that flavor and hopefully it's going to be fantastic because once that was done the only thing left to do is to go ahead and throw them in the bag vacuum seal them and they are now ready for a suvi talking about that I'll be cooking all of them in the same container at 135 degrees Fahrenheit for two hours this will cook them to Perfection and I cannot wait to find out how it's gonna taste now notice that I had two additional Stakes as one will be the control but the next one we're going to be using an incredible compound butter which is also ridiculously easy to make and here's how I first started with room temperature butter then I added two tablespoons of Old Bay seasoning mix everything well and combine those ingredients together as once I have done so I threw it in a clinch plastic roll everything up Let it solidify in my refrigerator for one hour once the time was up I took it out carefully sliced it in a quarter inch thick and there we have it Old Bay compound butter this has to be incredible especially because whenever we eat seafood we always add butter and if you've been watching my channel for a while you know we're not gonna eat steaks by itself so I went ahead and made an incredible side dish this one will please everyone and to make it it is ridiculously easy and here's how the first thing to do is to go ahead and cook up some bacon we want to get them nice and crispy but not overly crispy once that was done I went ahead and strained the fat because we're going to be using it and in the end of course I was left with crispy bacon now in a non-stick skillet I throw in that Bacon Fat followed by a good amount of all-purpose flour we really want to cook the flour if not it's not going to taste great after about three to five minutes I went ahead and added a good amount of milk now we're making something that is called a bechamel but instead of using butter I'm using Bacon Fat once everything thickened up real good I went ahead and added a good amount of smoked gouda mixed everything well and combined those ingredients together once the cheese was fully melted I went ahead and seasoned it with salt followed by a good amount of nutmeg mixed it once again for tasting and my cheese sauce was done it does not get any easier than that now the next thing to do is to go ahead and cook up some gnocchi all you gotta do is to throw it in boiling water and as soon as they come up they're ready now I immediately transferred them to a cast iron skillet then added a good amount of that bechamel sauce we just made followed by that beautiful crispy bacon a good amount of mozzarella cheese a little bit more sauce more bacon and more cheese why not now into the oven it goes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes and the last 3 minutes I'll put it on because in the end this is what I was left with is there any possibility that this is not going to be incredible I don't think so we're talking about gnocchi bacon cheese deliciousness don't believe me well you just wait and see because by this time my steaks were fully cooked so I went ahead and took them out opened up the bag sat them down a cooling rack and one of the most important things you must do is to Pat your steaks dry if not you won't be able to get a quick sear and even though I pet them dry a little bit I was very careful not to remove any of the seasoning because I know exactly what you're thinking I know my steaks don't look that good right now but watch this foreign [Music] everybody here we got our beautiful steak my tooth taste testers are you guys hungry today I am now you are not before no I wasn't oh really oh you're just
