1-Day vs. 1-Week vs. 1-Month Ponzu Marinade: What Citrus Actually Does to a Steak
Guga Foods conducts an extreme marinating experiment, soaking New York strip steaks in ponzu sauce for one day, one week, and one month before grilling and taste-testing. The results reveal how citrus chemically 'cooks' and breaks down the steak over time, with the one-month steak becoming unrecognizable in texture and flavor. The video also features a smoked char siu pork egg roll side dish with homemade sweet and sour sauce.
