I’ve found foods with high fat contents to be more “savory” than others. A satisfying flavor that lingers, without crossing over the line, into “bad after taste”.

Monosodium glutamate activates the savory tastebuds, which is why it gets added to food.

Monosodium glutamate is a sodium ion, as in salt, and glutamic acid, as in found in all meat. While something at the China Buffet might be giving you headaches or gastric distress, it's not the MSG.

What is unami?

It's a taste that has been added to the list of tastes that humans can decipher like sweet,sour and salty.
Unami powder is made with Shiitake mushrooms and it goes really well with beef.
Sprinkle it on a steak and it really brings out the beef flavor.
