3 z$ z3 M) N; V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。

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, G/ ?+ J- G0 ?) @

- B8 }* s& |& `8 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"  p) G# m$ j* `7 \* m. w

/ W2 b0 P& X2 T1 ^1 a2 T+ v4 O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
8 V3 H* g6 U7 ?8 t, l! t  l5 w- [& u1 {, W% P$ T
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5 P/ K# t6 H& i* {* P
' V# `2 a4 f) 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).# u& ?+ `. K; o0 Y

  ~# V4 u/ H3 r4 X+ B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
( h6 A! {* g5 @# F5 p) Q( s% r4 s! F4 p. F# g
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

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)0 [% s) Z) Q, W- g" E* T. i
9 ?5 E% |# f, V( M
另一樣當然就係睇睇 packing 上面嘅 best before date 啦0 s5 h. G- t' |+ p

8 `& w; ^/ ?3 K肉色方面, 當然越紅越好啦 $ N, i4 O4 T4 C7 `3 o6 s, e, C  O1 z
/ S1 G$ j7 f* E5 l. I
(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.)8 u9 m3 u7 U.

It's the best because you don't need to add any oil, and keep the raw favor of the steak.* H9 }- c1 v2 k8 D

Another thing to know when buying steak is "aging".% x8 ?8 x- _4 f5 A4 H' L

* B9 ]/ Z' z; r4 E8 [Sing can explain the science behind this.$ R2 r/ g! x- f3 a& v3 _

3 P$ I6 c2 T& Y; QAging 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 $ P, x4 D) ^5 e& w. J# s
  ]( ~2 x9 g4 R
So 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.

2 r1 r, I" r: v) B/ ]如果要處理大量凍肉 (例如: 雞翼, 冰鮮雞, 急凍豬牛肉等等) # h# g6 h0 ^7 i1 V3 ~* \
作往後一星期主菜之用
# D: E- `. @; z7 w+ e有何烹調方法介紹? (可以擺得耐又好食)

0 J+ T5 m1 @( [" q" w" \
樂樂﹐你尼個問題好GENERAL禍﹐烹調方法真係可以寫成本書。" F  C/ c* g& ^1 v
* i: m- R4 _# M
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。
* z$ E, P2 Y+ V, Z; A9 b' U. j+ E* @7 ~3 O# B
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>>
; h* _7 M- ?. h, i) Q0 O9 D* a  D7 C9 [- g1 T( g
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。
6 w/ V' u% K* E. E% |! p" I9 w: `1 |0 W. y
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。* M& V' F: \: {
- D) o0 e; C3 I+ n; {
羊脾- grill 距﹐夠野味!!!1 e: f( o, g8 o  A  `% o9 r

; D: _' F( V( Q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。
, x! D9 g; S* d1 G% A$ {8 s! g  U0 \' q1 T3 h
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。。2 H7 z9 ^0 w2 `! Q9 G' n
