以我多年入廚經驗﹕肉身厚同林﹐少筋﹐色澤光潤﹐鮮紅色。如果可以聞既話仲好﹐但要憑經驗。多筋既話可以打打距﹐但小心如果打親D肉既話就會變質﹐變成免治肉甘﹐仲有唔好太大力打到扁曬。煮既時候最好落油﹐甘樣可以鎖住D汁。要煮幾耐係要憑感覺﹐一路煮一路想象下D熱力滲透既速度而斷定時間﹐如果乾身得濟就可以落少少水﹐但一定唔可以一開爐就落﹐如果唔係肉質會好似“拾”過甘唔得爽。急凍過既一定要百分百溶曬雪先﹐唔好用微波爐溶雪﹐溶完仲要按摩下D肉﹐所以買完番黎最好放o係下格﹐然後24小時內煮。$ o( p: W0 u) i/ M* ~

首先衷心多謝 John Wu 兄, V妹, & Gretz 兄嘅意見 以上仁兄仁妹已經從煮食角度分享過, 等我從科学及煮食角度再同大家補充吓, Z) c0 I* v: Q) l, b1 J

( D( a" H. E4 O  L- M" m. P3 N兩件營養成份相同嘅牛肉, 價錢可以相差成五倍, 原因一個字,  "韌"
; x- d* e9 ~. _8 E: s- y
3 R( a) I$ X- m9 k2 P$ D從科学角度嚟講, 動物越活動得多嘅部份, 例如 chuck (頸部与肩胛骨間的肉), shank (腿肉), 一般会筋多, 老牛嘅筋與筋之間又会有更多 collagen cross-link, 韌上加韌, 呢 d 肉都係適宜(火文), 因為(火文)会將 collagen 煮溶成 gelatin (舊式啫喱粉嘅成份), 減低韌度, 你(火文)過豬手就会知道煲嘢凍咗会好啫喱feel, 呢 d 就係 gelatin 喇, 通常呢 d 肉較平, 同埋只係肉, 唔係扒6 ~9 O5 H. C$ S

5 b. V( ?7 c4 a. \( {9 E咁邊 part 唔韌? rib (肋骨) & loin (背), 呢 d 地方活動得少, 筋少, 如果識煮嘅話, 係唔應該会韌, 呢 d 部位嘅 cut 適宜 dry cook, 例如煎, 燒, 焗
- {! p6 J, v2 l) z$ \0 t# @# w$ ]; @; Y4 d9 T6 J$ s
咁邊 part 最靚呢, 當然係 John Wu 兄提及, 而我個人又好喜歡嘅 fillet mignon 啦, 通常成太会用 gretz兄既方法 pan fry, 或者用煎 pan 去每邊大火 sear 一分鐘, 再連 pan 放入 325 - 375 F 嘅焗爐焗 (tenderloin 嘅 cut 包括 chateaubriand, tournedos, medallions, fillet mignon, 及 tenderloin tips, 不過我都唔係好識分, 寫出嚟都係俾大家參考吓).3 \# X; ]! u% e4 l; X! M; V6 n/ R

# m" S) B. g* l- p7 K而 John Wu 兄提及嘅 New York strip or strip loin, 一般都係用嚟 roast
' q! d, N: [2 m$ ~+ s+ F7 v4 r' I3 B5 g$ f( e. ~
食邊 part? 首先就睇你荷包有幾錢喇
( N9 W4 {" ?% R6 k/ I' T' i5 Q! ~# I. Y/ w0 a3 P8 a
講翻揀扒, 脂肪分佈 (fat marbling) 係好緊要, 分佈到雪花咁就梗係正啦, 其實扒味大多數係嚟自脂肪
* Y, x3 X, ]4 g; {. e
* m6 k# O% I+ u0 n扒面應該感覺上係濕濕哋, 但唔可以有出水 feel, 扒越唔新鮮, 出水越多# D' l- o+ Y  ?1 Z0 K4 |# e7 ]
/ y5 m* c& i* h3 m4 C: p
你應該聞得出鮮肉味, 唔新鮮嘅酸肉味係極之易分 (packing 保鮮紙係透氣嘅)
; r6 p" W- e! l* |* A' ]3 J8 |
另一樣當然就係睇睇 packing 上面嘅 best before date 啦/ b+ V- Y, j0 K  M8 F' {
: x9 N) o4 N7 H3 L
肉色方面, 當然越紅越好啦
- D" G* j& q5 H/ ?* G
  B  u4 q- G( ~4 x; ]0 R: X- F(題外話: 其實新鮮 pack 好運送去超市嘅扒会放响一個有氮氣或二氧化炭嘅不透氣膠袋, 肉色當時会係啡色 [myoglobin 當時係缺氧], 一到超市就会從不透氣膠袋取出上架, d 肉即刻会遇氧變紅 [因為 packing 嘅保鮮紙係透氣嘅, 啡色嘅 myoglobin 会 oxygenated to 紅色嘅 oxymyoglobin], 呢 d 就係大家常見鮮肉嘅紅色, 但當到期嗰陣, 肉上面嘅細菌会將 oxymyoglobin breakdown, 而 display 嘅燈光亦会 induce oxymyoglobin oxidation, 令肉失去鮮紅色.)# S8 X+ v5 N+ b) d) d, U( I

You guys have to try grilling steak on open fire.
* W# ?: ~) g" eIt's the best because you don't need to add any oil, and keep the raw favor of the steak.

Another thing to know when buying steak is "aging"." ^  B' a- ]2 N, W
/ n. _  _% h  c: r* t: l
Sing can explain the science behind this.
3 _% K& U: v  c. j% S/ x& T4 f; C" l) s) i8 g5 b
Aging is a process that store the steak in a low temputare enviroment for usually 28 days or more.  This process make the steak taste better.  There are 2 kind of agina method, "dry age" and "wet age".  "dry aged" steak is more expensive and is perfered
! u! A4 ]& p& Q7 \. C6 ?! p- i+ o" J
& M/ m5 U$ P* `% s5 S. R- z1 F5 A* b6 eSo aged steak cost more than fresh steak.  The price difference can be more than double for a aged steak in north america.  The best steak house always served dry aged steak.  So next time the you go to a resturant, you know what kind of stuff they are serving you.

問題:( J& f. L9 d) o: L
如果要處理大量凍肉 (例如: 雞翼, 冰鮮雞, 急凍豬牛肉等等) ' W+ w# I2 I: Z7 s
作往後一星期主菜之用
, J$ A( M& `# C* T) Z有何烹調方法介紹? (可以擺得耐又好食)

5 y! r6 q2 l4 a7 J, U樂樂﹐你尼個問題好GENERAL禍﹐烹調方法真係可以寫成本書。+ O& D! _4 u4 t, b/ e) e

6 ~( ~$ W8 [+ `+ ^1 S我每次去完買宋之後﹐我都會將尼一兩日會用既肉分開出黎放o係下格﹐然後靜番果D就放o係上格。如果你有一大堆肉既話就最好分開幾個PORTIONS黎雪藏﹐以免每一次溶雪之後又要放番D唔洗用住既肉番入雪櫃﹐因為溶來溶去D肉會好易有菌。
& d5 d; u( |: u3 p2 j) s9 f8 G0 t+ o) j$ `2 ^. ^' j- x7 e
至於煮雞翼就非常容易﹐一煲滾水加味‘圾’兩‘圾’就搞掂。如果你有心機既話﹐你可以放曬D雞翼入去一個保鮮袋﹐然後加入蒜蓉﹐糖﹐鹽﹐陽蔥﹐生抽及香料 (其實你落咩都得﹐視乎你鐘意咩味﹐但就一定要夠濕)﹐淹半個鐘之後﹐開鑊﹐大火﹐加油﹐等1-1.5分鐘﹐開中火﹐放雞翼(背部向鑊)﹐等1-1.5分鐘後(或開始乾水時)加少少水爆下D油﹐即琴蓋留小罅﹐煮到靜番少少水既時候就即刻翻轉雞翼﹐而家開始要煎趕水﹐開細火﹐琴蓋留小罅﹐時不時睇睇開始金黃色未﹐開始既話就再翻一翻﹐開大火﹐每30-40秒翻一次﹐當你覺得靚既時候就上得架喇。<<因為淹過既雞翼會易‘濃’所以加水濕煎係正常既﹐但收火前要煎番乾水>>& b, P' q4 i4 Q: u

; ?8 b2 l8 {! S+ I9 H6 r雞翼煮法太多﹐我通常都唔落調味而靜GRILL﹐因為我懶得淹﹐GRILL肉有風味。

( [9 ~- s0 b# \  [) N1 Q) N豬牛羊- 我會切條或切片﹐炒炒距﹐上碟﹐隨意乾調味。如喜歡加飯食﹐炒肉後可“加獻”。豬牛羊亦可GRILL。

其實冰鮮雞係咩﹖係咪原隻雞﹖我未試過煮原隻雞﹐唔好意思。但如果係雞胸﹐斜紋切﹐後炒嫩﹐雞腿無所謂點切﹐我通常都係原塊煎﹐或GRILL。4 N2 x5 |" z7 r6 ]

/ m! V$ s  g* c/ D1 G工欲善其事,必先利其器﹐有一個電GRILL爐﹐咩都可以煮得好好味。但一定要開大火GRILL﹐如果唔係﹐D汁逼唔到出黎會好乾。GRILL肉亦都唔洗溶雪﹐方便懶人﹐但記主開大火去GRILL急凍肉﹐仲有GRILL既野最好唔好厚過1寸。如果開細火GRILL就會失去GRILL肉既風味﹐所以簿簿地先最好GRILL﹐但又唔可以太簿﹐因為會失去肉身質感。。
