They all said THIS is why Middle East food is so good, so we tried!

thanks PDS depth for sponsoring this video this is Sumac it's one of the most popular ingredients in the Middle East it's made from dry berries of the hus genius plant and I was told by you that this is the MSG of the Middle East So today we're going to be putting that to the test and to do so I chose these three beautiful Ribeyes as you can see they are nicely marbled they are also one inch thick and most importantly exactly what you're looking for whenever you're getting steaks now in order to run our experiment this is how it's going to go down the first thing we need to do is to season them well I went with salt followed by freshly ground black pepper and garlic powder the next thing to do is to add to the middle one our secret ingredient and as you can see I was quite generous with it you see with this steak we're actually going to be cooking with sumac hopefully it's going to turn out fantastic as you already know one is going to be the control and the final one we're going to be doing a special compound butter and to do that it's super simple I first started with room temperature butter then I added one tablespoon of sumac mixed everything well into it was fully combined and now my compound butter is ready now then I have the steaks ready and the butter the only thing left to do is to go ahead back them up vacuum seal them and they are now ready for the water bath talking about that I'll be cooking all of them in the same container at 135 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour this will cook them to Perfection and I cannot wait to find out how it's gonna taste as that was happening it was perfect because it didn't allow me time to go ahead and make an incredible side dish for us today now this came straight from my head it's not traditional from anywhere but at the same time it's delicious one of my favorite things I've made so far this year and to make it it is super easy in here's how the first thing to do is to go ahead and cook up some bacon you just want to cut up Center bacon and fry them up now this is what I'm using it's called orzo if you've never had it oh man you should it's highly available online but you could probably find it in your Supermarket as well now at first it looks like it's a big grain of rice but it's not it's actually pasta however I'm gonna be treating it very similar to Rice almost like a risotto and here's how to make it once my bacon was fully cooked next thing to do is to go ahead and strain the fat we don't need it trust me once that was done back into the pan I threw in the bacon bits I threw in some freeze-dried garlic and onions mixed everything well and combined those ingredients together as the next thing to add is some tomato sauce mix it a little bit more and add our pasta right in the middle stir it until everything has been fully coated as the next ingredient is chicken stock now I'm using homemade chicken stock this is a fantastic application to do with sous-vide now mix everything together and bring it to a simmer now as everything starts evaporating the pasta will soak up all of the liquids so keep stirring it and keep it under medium heat now here's where things get interesting you gotta add more chicken stock little by little and just in case you run out you can always use a little bit of water as well because you want to cook the pasta 95 percent remember when you take it out of the heat it's still going to cook for a little bit longer so make sure you just try little by little until you get the consistency you're happy with because to finish this up I added a good amount of heavy cream followed by some parmigiano reggiano mix everything well and combine these ingredients because today's side dish is now ready I mean take a look at this it looks like mac and cheese but it's not the only thing left to do is to go ahead and plate it up for that I added everything to a nice white plate followed by some parsley right on top and this is ready to be devoured and I'll tell you one thing you just wait and see because not only is it easy to make oh boy is it delicious now the question is is it the same for today's experiment well we're about to find out right now because by these times my steaks were fully cooked so I took them out opened up the bag lay them down a cooling rack and Pat them dry really good and as just as you would expect they don't look very good at this stage that's because we gotta put a nice beautiful crust on it so I'll be using my flame thrower because I know these steaks don't look that good right now but watch this [Music] foreign [Music]
