Thanks Keeps for sponsoring this video.
What is that that's the worst trim I've ever seen in my life.
You see how thin it is? That's bad you don't want that thin.
From the check-in that's better oh this is a perfect example look at this
The chuck end is better so between this one and this one even though this one is cheaper this
one will be a lot more tender than this one right here. Look at the size of this espinalis. This one
is looking the best. All right we got the Walmart steak over here and I'll tell you one thing man,
that is very difficult because they look horrible. Most of the steaks are extremely thin you don't
want to buy a thin steak, it's never going to be as good as if you buy a little bit thicker.
There is no prime I'll just let you know right away so the best option was this choice grade
here. But at the same time this doesn't look that great and look at the price 28 bucks.
That's not cheap! But hey this is the Walmart steak and we got it.
So they don't have prime only the highest grade choice. These are looking sorry I'll tell you that
right now. This is the best I have right here. I'll be honest we're doing a ribeye because
of every other store but this one right here doesn't look that great but it's the only option.
Now let me show you what i would get if we were not doing ribeye.
Now that is a lot better option than a ribeye, I'm telling you right now, but since we're
doing ribeye this is what it is. Price is not that bad marbling is great, take a look
at these right guys. I mean look at this That's some sorry ribeyes I'll tell you that right now.
This would be a better option but not all the other grocery store have this and we already
started with ribeye, so everybody is. Bj's come on you gotta find some prime man. The marbling
is okay for a choice-grade steak and since we are going with ribeyes this are the only option.
I tell you one thing the overall experience is better there's somebody on the counter answering
any questions you might have, but they don't have prime as well. What's going on no one has a prime
steak? Now even though they have a better steak the right thickness the right type of steak the
shape is nice a better overall experience when you're talking to the guy, you're gonna pay for
it. This is the most expensive one of them all, it's 20 bucks for one steak versus on the other place
you actually could get almost two steaks for that price. Is it better the Whole Foods so far? Yes, but
you're gonna pay for it, remember that. Now that we got all of them let's put them to the test because
what's really important is how do they taste. Is there any difference? How about the texture? We're
about to find out right now. And for a closer look this is what a walmart steak looked like a hundred
percent money back guarantee. Seriously? How am I able to determine if this is good or not after I
eat it? And it also tells you to freeze it real quick that is not a good sign. After taking it
out of the package this is what it looks like. As you can see the trimming was not done very well
it also feels like the steak is falling completely apart. But maybe one of the worst things about this
steak is that it's so thin, you never want to get steaks like this. Remember at least one inch thick.
There's actually a good amount of intramuscular fat but I'll tell you one thing holding it on my
hand I can tell right away that it's not the best. So in order to be consistent with all of them I
kept the seasoning really simple a good amount of salt, followed by freshly ground black pepper and
garlic powder. At least to me that's the perfect seasoning. Now that we got the Walmart ready
there's nothing else to do. And here's the one I got from Bj's, notice that the price is cheaper
that is a good thing. Once it was removed from the packaging take a look, that is how you trim a steak.
But you should be aware already of the thickness, that is not a good thing. The marbling for choice
grade is actually good but the important thing is always how is it going to taste and for that
I wanted to keep the seasoning exactly the same as the previous one a good amount of salt, followed
by freshly ground black pepper and garlic powder. That's it nothing else. Now of course to go along
with steaks the best side dish is potatoes but as you can see this one is a little special.
We're talking about bacon wrapped potatoes and to make them it's super easy. I highly recommend
using gold potatoes for this, they are creamier and for this application a lot better. My goal was
to try to cut them not too thin and all the same exact size, this way they're going to cook evenly.
Talking about that the first thing to do was to go ahead and throw them in the boiling water. I
let them boil for a total of 10 minutes, this way it's gonna cook them all the way through. Once that
was done I went ahead and got some barbecue rub. This one is called Bold and Beefy from
Blue Hogs. I went ahead and seasoned all of the potatoes with it, then got the bacon and wrapped
the whole thing. Now that is how easy this was. All there was left to do is to throw them in the oven
to get them cooked. For that I kept my oven at 350 degrees fahrenheit and cooked them for 50 minutes.
And once the time was up this is what I was left with. Now if that's not the perfect side dish to go
along with steaks, I don't know what is, and you saw how easy it is to make it. Talking about that we
have one steak left and this is the one from Whole Foods. Once I took it out of the packaging take a
look now that is a beautiful steak. Even though its choice it has a good amount of intramuscular fat
but most importantly take a look at the thickness. This is something that you should always look for.
Again I don't want to sound like a broken record but thicker is always better. To keep things fair
I kept the seasoning exactly the same, salt followed by freshly ground black pepper and
garlic powder, because now the only thing left to do is to go ahead and grill them. For that I'll be
first putting a nice beautiful sear and of course for that I'll be basting with some butter. Once
that's done I'll be cooking them in indirect heat until I reach an internal temperature of
135 degrees Fahrenheit. So now I say it is enough talking and it is time to cook them. So let's do it!

you Keeps for sponsoring this video but now let's get right back to it. All right everybody here we
have our beautiful steak. What do you guys think? You guys hungry? -I'm starving. -Hey man I eat steak
all the time, is there a reason you put this in front of me like this? -That's right obviously as
you guys know I have three steaks it's all about your opinion, my opinion is invalid because I know
what it is. -Experiment going on huh. -Kind of, kind of a little experiment not bad though. You shouldn't be
bad all right well you shouldn't I have no idea yet. -Normally it's two steaks but now there's
three uh there's a little twist here I don't know what to expect. -Enough talking let's go for it,
grab it. Now here's one thing that I must say, all steaks were cooked to 135 degrees
Fahrenheit in final temperature and they were all basted with butter. Cheers everybody! -Cheers.
-Wow it's tough. -It's interesting it's tough? -Yeah it's definitely not what we're used to around here.
-It's juicy. -Yeah it's, it's not bad it's good a little lack of flavor but.-The flavor is like
old a little bit. -Yeah I was going to say I'm getting a kind of like aftertaste here.
-Yeah it's like an old meat taste kind of. -Like an old meat taste? Not sure if I like it. -Good or bad?
-It's it's not bad I feel like I need to say that you know when you're here on Guga
Foods you're set to a standard and this doesn't mean that. -A little bit below. -It's not a bad steak let me be
clear. -This is a very average steak this is as good as I could imagine if you go to a restaurant.
-All right. -You know I don't go to restaurants to get steak anymore right.
-Oh yeah. -I'm just like remind me. -Guga's ruined steak eating
for ever. Guga has made sure I can't order steak at a restaurant ever again so. -Here's what I'll say all right it is important to be completely transparent
and they're telling exactly how it is they were not there filming the video with me they have no
idea, so that's what they have to say about it all right. Me overall I would be extremely picky I'll
probably be bashing this like there's no tomorrow, but again it's not about me all right it's not
about me at all. All right let's go ahead and for the next one. -Oh no no. -What do you mean no? -Hey we got, we
gotta clean that. -You can't put this in front of me and make me wait. -Oh the potato okay grab the potato Leo.
-I gotta have it. -Bacon potato can you go wrong with that? Come on! -Never. -Huh? -I don't think so.
-There's no way that this is gonna taste bad. I can guarantee you that. -I'm not even gonna
cut this I want the whole thing. -All right enough, little sidedish cheers everybody. Oh yeah that's
good. -That was so good. -The consistencies are so perfect because the top the bacon is like it's not
that crunchy, crunchy bacon. -Yeah. -That soft bacon. But it's good because the potatoes are so soft,
they just fall apart right in your mouth so it's still delicious. -Enough let's go ahead and go for
the second one. I want to know your true opinion you guys let me know. Second one cheers everybody!
-Oh that is an improvement right there, I'm getting more juice more charcoal crust, it's softer. -Yeah
I agree you? -This is a big jump. -No old taste. -No old taste. -But, same like level. -Same level? Really? -What if
I tell you guys that this steak right here the first one was more expensive than this one here.
-I'd call you a liar. -It's true. -I'd be surprised I i would actually be very surprised. -Yeah. -That's crazy.
-It is, but if you get this in a restaurant you will say you are happy? -I never said that I would be
happy getting steak from a restaurant. -Okay. -I said it is restaurant level steak. -Okay very
good. -I'm not, I'm not at that point yet where I get mad when steak I still order steak at restaurants.
-Wait six months and see what he say. --I only go to restaurants if i know they have something
chicken that will taste good. -I'll be honest I don't order any
steak from any restaurant ever again I just get a little bit disappointed and then it
gets me upset that I'm actually ordering that, so I would go like oh man I should
have ordered something else. -Go ahead and tell the audience what your favorite restaurant is.
-No comment you guys don't need to know that. -Is it chick-fil-A?
-And if you think whatever the restaurant is put in the comments down below. If you got it right
if you get it right I'll make sure that I'll pin your comment. -I promise you I will send you money if
you get it right because i guarantee no one out there is going to be able to guess it. -No way. -I promise
-Very good let's go for the last one ready? So advice to these two right here cut your steak
thicker everybody. Everything thicker is better. -Oh yeah. -Okay ready very last one cheers.
-Wow. -Oh my god. -That is a lot better than the rest a lot better. -Way different a huge jump.
-You cut it even thicker, but it's actually more tender. -Yeah. -Yeah absolutely. This is
by far like if you ask me that's the best. -That's the champ. -I have no doubt no question
about it. From the first one to the second one. -Yeah. -In my opinion a pretty big jump
and from this one to this an even greater jump. Still gotta say, not a Guga Steak,
but it's pretty damn close to it. -So this is close to a Guga steak as anything else on this.
-I agree 100 %, this right here is the most expensive obviously that's why okay.
-Thank god. -So here's the deal all of the stakes are choice grade. They're all the same quality
okay but this one was from walmart, this one was from Bj's and then this one was from Whole Foods.
-Whole Foods, Whole Foods kicked it out of the park. -Whole Foods is the most expensive as you guys know but
it is a better steak overall, okay. There's a lot, a lot that goes in the different varieties maybe
this one here was cut perfectly maybe this cow was a little bit better and the cow from Walmart
was really bad. You can say a lot of different things but I'll tell you one thing because you're
not gonna eat a steak every day I recommend you buying the best one you can possibly buy
at the source that you can buy it from. Now I order my steaks from Grand Western Steaks you guys know
and the reason I do that is because it never let me down. If you ask me which one come the closest
to that one I would say would be this one here. If you're gonna cook a steak for somebody that does
not appreciate medium rare it does not matter where you buy it from buy it from the cheaper
source and they will be fine. But if you're buying a steak for yourself and you really want to taste
the meat, quality of the meat medium rare then you got to go for the best because you're not going
to be having it every single day. Whenever I get it from Emilio he always knows exactly the way I want
it, there's no questions asked because if you send me a thin steak like this I yeah exactly. Don't
buy thin steaks all right. -Emilio gotta watch out. -Yeah you better watch out yeah -Anyway guys these
