This is one of the most unique and bizarre ingredients I ever
came across. It comes from the synsepalum dulcificum plant and when eaten it causes a chemical reaction
in your taste buds changing your sour and bitter tastes to something sweet. But it does
even more things, you see this effect is due to something called miraculim which
is used commercially as a sugar substitute. Funny enough they also have pills made out
of this thing, it makes the experience a lot easier for anyone to try. Now I
know what you're thinking, is this a joke? That's exactly what I thought. So we put it to the test.
Lemon.
It tastes like an orange. -It tastes like a sour tangerine. -That tastes so good
What the hell is that that? is so cool it tastes like funnel cake. That is insane.
-Tequila!
It doesn't burn as much. I think i need to drink some more
-Red wine vinegar. What? It tastes like grape juice. That is insane.
Balsamic vinegar.
-Wow! Almost like chocolate. Not quite chocolate but almost chocolate. That's pretty good.
As you can see this fruit really works and today we're going to pair it up with some incredible ingredients to see
what happens when you mix this with steaks. Because for this cook I'm using this three beautiful New
York Strip. They are one and a half inches thick and choice grade which is perfect for this
experiment. For this stage I kept it real simple, I only seasoned them with salt, followed by freshly
ground black pepper, and garlic powder that's it nothing else. As the next two things is the
real star we're talking about these two compound butters, and here's the very first one; Kimchi. As
you know kimchi is not only spicy but also sour it is the perfect thing to try with the miracle berry.
Now to make the compound butter is extremely simple because all I have to do is to throw
everything into the food processor, process it on high as you can see everything got nicely chopped,
then I threw in room temperature butter and mixed everything together. Once that's done all there's
left to do is to put it on a clinch plastic, roll everything into itself, and that my friends is a
kimchi compound butter. The only thing left is to give it an hour in the refrigerator so that it can
solidify. Because once done take a look! Slicing it up is not that easy, everything just crumbles but
hey we got it to the end result; kimchi compound butter. The big question is how is it going to
taste with the miracle berry? Well we'll find out real shortly because I also have the second compound
butter and this one you are very familiar with, we're talking about pickles. As you know
pickles are also sour but to make the compound butter it is exactly the same process. Throw it
in the food processor, process it on high, add some room temperature butter ,process it once again,
roll it in the clinch plastic, let it solidify and that's it. Your compound butter is ready!
Slice that up and take a look. Pickles compound butter, I never thought I would be saying that.
I wanted to try something else as well. If there's one sandwich I really enjoy is the Reuben, so I went
ahead and made some simple sliders. Now this is the special ingredient of a reuben sandwich sauerkraut.
This thing is stinky but most importantly on its name says at all sour. So how is it going to taste?
For the bread I'm using Sweet Hawaiian buns. As you can see I'll be making mini sliders out of it.
I sliced up the bread, added thousand island dressing, then I immediately threw in sauerkraut, made sure
to spread it nicely, then of course corned beef, a good amount or maybe a ridiculous amount. To finish
it off I added baby swiss, I was also not shy with it. Then I covered everything on top, put it in my
oven at 300 degrees fahrenheit for 20 minutes. Once the time was up I took it out, basted it with
a little bit of butter. Now that is an easy to make Reuben Sandwich Slider. And I'll tell you right now
these things are delicious, and you saw how easy it is to make. But I'm wondering what the miracle
berry is gonna do to it. Well we're gonna find that out real shortly because as you know this
experiment is all about the steaks and for that the only thing left to do is to go ahead and cook
them. First I'll be putting a nice beautiful sear and don't forget I'll be also placing my compound
butters right on top. Once that's done I'll be cooking them in indirect heat until I reach an
internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit and hopefully they're gonna taste fantastic.
Because now I say it is enough talking and it is time to grill some beautiful steaks. So let's do it!

This is a kimchi compound butter. -Oh! -Yeah we love kimchi. -I love kimchi. -Yeah this
is a pickle compound butter. -Oh. -I don't know about this one. This one might be nasty unless
it tastes like something else. -Yes. -And this is just straight up traditional Reuben sandwich.
Reuben sandwich has sauerkraut. You know what I mean? So sourkraut is a little sour. -Yeah.
-But uh this is amazing. As you can see it's missing two. I don't know why. You know what I mean?
-I wonder why. -All right so let's go for it Maumau, let's go for a ride over here. We're
gonna give you guys an honest review. Control, there's nothing here straight up Guga steak.
Let's see if it makes any difference. -Amazing. -Huh enough, let's see if it tastes any different. Cheers!
Tastes amazing but it tastes a little sweet for me. -No.
-No? -I didn't notice. -I think I need more salt or something but it's so sweet. -It's not that sweet.
-It's not as sweet for you? -No. Oh my god it's really, really, sweet for me. It's like it has sugar on it.
-No I don't get that. -You don't get that? -No. -Wow! Okay this is insane for me I'm telling
you right now. Okay let's go for the second one. You ready? -Oh yeah. -All right let's see
kimchi Maumau. Now, let's be honest kimchi compound butter already sounds good. Cheers!
Wow it does not taste like kimchi at all. -It tastes like apple.
-Maybe. I don't know, I don't know this tastes but it does not taste like kimchi. It's still a little spicy. -There's no sourness from
me whatsoever. I'm gonna say this and I know you're gonna sound like I'm crazy it tastes
like apple pie. -No. This is insane! -It tastes like a not sweet applesauce. -Not sweet apple sauce?
You're not getting the sweetness that's the thing it's acting different for you than for me. -I'm
not getting the sweetness at all. -I don't feel any spiciness at all. -It's almost like you can
taste the spiciness but it doesn't burn. -Yeah like you have the feeling but it's not like.
-Yeah exactly. Let's try the Reuben Sliders. -Can we try now? -Yes let's try the Reuben
sandwich, I'm curious. Okay ready Maumau? -Let's go. -Let's find out, cheers cheers everybody.
-Now that is sweet.
-Is sweet it's not sweet it's extra sweet. -There's something weird with this cheese.
-It's just swiss cheese there's nothing wrong with it. -No there's something weird with this cheese.
-The cheese is extremely sweet for me it's like sugar. You've never had a reuben like this if
you eat this magical berry. But it's good it's not bad. -No it's good. -That is very amazing now pickles.
-Pickles. -I like pickles but let's see how you taste on a steak. Usually I don't want my pickles
on a steak you know what I mean Maumau? -Yeah. -Come on man! Pickle compound butter cheers everybody.
-Pickle compound butter! -All right cheers.
-Oh my god it's like taking a bite of sugar. It tastes like pickle but without the sourness.
-For me it's straight up crystalized sugar. The steak itself tastes like a steak but a
sweeter steak, the pickles is rock sugar that's what it is and like I said not
everybody experienced the same thing with these berries. Here's what everyone else thought of it.
-Holy!
-It tastes like a tangerine.
-That is so weird . What?
-It's a gimmick boys, it's a gimmick.
-This does not taste like a lemon at all. That's so cool!
-It's like going in waves for me. It started really sour, got sweet, got sour again, now it's sweet. I don't know that's really weird.
-I don't know I don't think it's that different.
-It's pickles cheers everybody
-Oh my God! Oh my God!
I don't even know how to describe it it tastes like candy pickles my God that is awful.
-Grape. Oh no, no, no! Something ain't right. It's bitter, not good. Definite no on that one for sure. That was terrible.
-Now we got some ketchup see if it can make it any better. Oh my God pure vinegar blah.
-Sriracha guys let's see maybe it's just lemon maybe lemon doesn't work for me. I don't think this works for me.
-But that's the result. Isn't it crazy? I'm telling you everybody I highly recommend you
giving it a try because it might work for you or might not. And if it works it is interesting.
