This is from an interesting and somewhat bizarre YouTube channel I found myself a while back. I enjoy watching all kinds of food/cooking relating shows and videos, from Anthony Bourdain's travel shows to basic recipe/technique videos from Chef John's very popular Food Wishes YouTube channel. Through the magic of YouTube's recommendation algorithms, I stumbled on this channel - Almazan Kitchen - a while back.
As you'll learn if you watch more of these videos, the recurring themes are a bit odd. The channel seems to be run by two quite wealthy-seeming Serbian guys who (i) live on or otherwise have frequent access to a gorgeous, remote rural property somewhere in Serbia featuring streams, waterfalls, and lush forest, (ii) operate or have access to a very nicely stocked organic farm that also raises livestock, (iii) own some very nice camera equipment, and (iv) own at least one very exotic pet in the form of a horned owl named "Mr. Ramsay." The videos themselves don't really focus on the recipes or techniques involved so much as the lushly-presented sights and sounds of chopping vegetables, tossing items in a skillet, the burbling of the nearby brook, and finally stuff like the gooey, greasy, delicious looking final product (in this case a burger). While a lot of the videos are obviously cool to watch, the whole operation is SEO-ed up the wazoo and is very literally Food Porn shot through with a lot of stuff that would appeal to ASMR devotees. These dudes clearly thought a lot about what they were doing and are probably making a killing on YouTube ads. I wish I had thought of - and had the resources to execute - this idea, lol.
So it's a fancied up White Castle Bacon Jalapeno Cheese Slider. Meh.
I'm not a fan of buffalo and not a fan of fermented meat. I like the boring cow and fresh meat.
You are aware that beef is also hung for a few weeks to age right?
What does the 30 day fermenting do? and how do you differentiate that from 'bad' meat?
No, most beef you buy is not hung for few weeks. Sure you still have places that dry age like that but it's not common anymore due to the expense. Now the cow is killed and processed and placed in the cooler for 48 hours. Then it's cut into sections and vacuum sealed and shipped to the meat distributors. So the beef I buy at Costco is not from a cow that was hung for few weeks to age. And when I buy ground beef from Costco, I use and cook that same day.
Its ok to buy peasant beef, but its not as good as aged meat.

Isn't the outside of aged beef removed? This is just all outside of aged beef mushed together.You are aware that beef is also hung for a few weeks to age right?
