we hit 2 million subscribers everybody
that is absolutely incredible to me
thank you so much for your support
without you these videos will never be
possible
and that's why i do it because i love
your feedback you guys
put fire on me and let me tell you
something we are
just getting started because everything
is about to go
way way beyond what you ever expected
starting with this cut of meat today it
is the 2 million subscriber special
check it out and here we have the star
of the show
because this is the queen of all meats
and it is the real thing
and here's the certification of
authenticity it's the real deal and i
have to say a huge thank you to my meat
dealer emilio from grand western steaks
this piece of meat is almost impossible
to get it where i'm at
but as always my meat dealer always
comes through and to be 100 honest with
you i never thought i'd be able to lay
my eyes on this piece of meat
because if you've been watching my
channel for a while you know that i love
this cut
and it has honestly been an honor to
introduce this cut of meat to the whole
world
especially because when i started this
channel almost no one knew what pikayan
was
but now you can see in almost every
single youtube channel
that makes me very proud and as i start
opening this package it is a complete
experience by itself
and i thought it would be really
important for me to show you how the
journey got me here because we never
started with this
we started with the original picaya and
in the beginning this cut was not known
at all
and as you can see they always used to
come like this almost like buy one get
one free
this is a choice grade picanha and after
removing it from the packaging this is
the real
og as you can see it is a choice great
picaya we can pretty much say that it
has no marbling at all but it does have
that beautiful fat cap
and like every pecan the first thing you
gotta do is to start it by trimming it
which are usually a silver skin and fat
that you're not gonna eat
another important thing about pecan is
the way to cut it so that it will give
you the best experience
and that is to cut the queen of all
meats with the grain the only reason we
do that is because the final cut will be
done against the grain giving you the
best eating experience
and i mean take a look at these steaks
even though there's almost no marbling
on them you can see that this is a
prestige cut of meat
and even though after cooking every
single meat out there in the world this
one's still my favorite
so that is my very first experience with
pikaya but then i started understanding
a little bit more about meat and i found
something that was called wagyu which
translates to japanese cow and here i
have
three of them the first one is an
australian wagyu marbling score
5. the one in the middle is an
australian wagyu mobility score
7. and the very last one you know that
it's the star of the show and i think it
would be interesting for you to see the
differences between them so i started
with this one which is an australian
wagyu marvelous core five as i remove it
from the packaging
it almost looks identical to the choice
pikachu always have the triangular shape
that is one of the signs that you know
that you're getting the real deal and
just like the previous one you should
get the same exact treatment you first
gotta start by removing all of the
silver skin and the external unwanted
fat
because the next thing to do is to slice
it in steaks and as i did check
out this type of marbling i mean going
from a choice to this wagyu marbling
score 5 is a huge upgrade and when i ate
this one for the very first time i
almost flipped because when that
happened at that time it was the best
piece of meat i've ever eaten in my life
but then hold on a second we jumped into
this one right here which is a marbling
score
seven and as you can see it looks almost
identical we got a nice beautiful fat
cap
it is also triangular shape and as
expected it comes with a silver skin on
the back which it has to go but the
magic
really happens when you slice it into
steaks and as i did
check it out that is a huge upgrade in
my books
perfectly well marbled and i'll tell you
one thing this pecan
is absolutely amazing i mean i made a
whole video about it calling it the
priceless steak because at that time it
was the best piece of meat i've ever put
in my mouth and it is an experience i
will never forget
but at the same time i'm thinking that
this pecan right here will make
all of the other ones look bad because
as i remove it from the packaging this
11 pounds japanese wagyu a5 picaya
is absolutely insane i mean if you take
a look from the side view you would
think that is just a glob of fat
but believe me when i tell you this that
fat is not any type of fat
it is difficult to explain the flavor
because it's something that needs to be
experienced
and after slicing so many different cuts
of meats throughout the journey of this
channel
this one is something different since
it's so special i'm gonna keep my mouth
shut and let you experience
this together with me
[Music]
so
[Music]
that right there you are witnessing the
best steak in the world
it is absolutely perfection and i'm
super excited to be able to share this
with you and i think i must treat it
with the respect it deserves
so for the seasoning i'm going to be
keeping the traditional method which is
only salt and nothing else the only
important thing is to cook them
medium rare the last thing you need is
to overcook these beautiful steaks and
for that i'm going to be using my
wireless thermometers
so now i say it is enough talking and it
is time to cook the best steak in the
world so let's do it
[Music]
all right everybody here we have our
beautiful pecan
angel what do you think why are you
going out dude come on
you're gonna ask me what i think this is
not wacky pecan bro

that thing was it was literally fire
it was basically fire you got that right
literally fire
it flare-ups like there's no tomorrow be
very careful put it in the fire
take it out of the fire if you are ready
to experience something like this

little bit and i was like oh i didn't go

rice with vinegar
oh my god um

fat when you bite it it literally
explodes in your mouth
every single bite that you take it's
just
juices exploding all directions
of a wonderful flavor that is impossible
to describe i know what you guys are
going to ask me how does this compare
with a japanese wagyu a5
rebuy that we've eaten before it's
better it's win
it's better everybody that's all you can
say this is the winner
nothing is better than this piece of
media right here in the world
i'm not even gonna lie this is the
winner there is
nothing that comes even close please do
not cook it medium or well done this
meat deserve a perfect medium rare
too rare all right i'm pretty sure that
in japan
they probably just slice it as you know
sashimi style
and the fat the fat is white you see
that fat
not fully cooked and let me tell you
something
come on do that with regular fat you see
how bad it is
now with this fat here it's just amazing
if you are the worst cook in the world
but you know how to make a steak medium
rare

it when i started this channel
