video tutorial The Maillard reaction

  • Overview: celebration video revealing a Kimple Heater secret sauce and a peppercorn‑crusted ribeye with a rich sauce.
  • Secret sauce components: shallots, fresh green peppercorns, butter, whipping cream, nutmeg, brandy (or whiskey), white pepper, salt, olive oil.
  • Preparation steps: prep shallots; peel and trim; slice; sauté butter and shallots gently; add peppercorns; flambé with brandy; cool; add cream; season; keep warm.
  • Maillard reaction discussion: explains how amino acids and reducing sugars form brown complex products; playful demonstrations; notes potential carcinogenic concerns and suggests red wine as an antidote; recommends pairing with a robust wine.
  • Main dish method: high‑heat pan sear 250 g ribeye with flaky sea salt and black pepper; oil; ensure pan is smoking hot; cook, rest steak in a warm oven (~10 minutes) for even heat distribution; brown for attractive markings; rest before serving inner doneness.
  • Sauce finishing: reheat peppercorn sauce and fold in steak juices for color and flavor; adjust seasoning; serve with sauce on the side and vegetables; finish with a butter emulsion.
  • Closing: subscribe request and mention of a future donation system.
