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。

Make sure you have lots of oil (olive oil better) and the pan is thoroughly hot. Dried the steak with towel, seasoned with a bit of salt and pepper...turn the heat to high....fried the steak on one side for about a min...flip to the other side and do the same. By now you should have the two sides 'caramelized', meaning the 'crust' is now burned. TURN THE HEAT DOWN TO LOW-MED or LOW...keep flipping from time to time...cooking time varies (depending on the thickness).  Q% k# c$ @+ M$ Z6 ^' `; I% \3 w

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
5 m; L1 O, X9 r6 {9 z1 v7 P7 ?' Y; t/ o
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"9 y9 `7 k( ~+ u) b1 W$ P

# v3 c! ]6 Z" ?# u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
" j- U" K5 _8 z0 Z9 i) }4 A: B2 C7 X$ l% |: f! L* A
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
% \$ K1 p* W2 B( f! M0 S. F7 Y. a' ~' P1 `
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: ~0 m+ P2 Y# _/ W

# S8 p5 p6 x% \% z而 John Wu 兄提及嘅 New York strip or strip loin, 一般都係用嚟 roast
; L3 }; y' r/ m( m/ z) e3 h9 ^8 A/ ?7 z1 r3 o% L
食邊 part? 首先就睇你荷包有幾錢喇, Q# f# U" x0 D" k5 q$ U$ E+ a

) y( K/ j  E; l6 N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/ m7 @" _, `7 Q; X

! q8 X3 c9 M1 t4 i0 l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4 F; a8 p7 o  ?. g% F  S% r9 @

7 t3 p8 A1 B5 m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): k2 [+ B5 Q9 N3 W; I; P

3 O' i" X. l3 A! I另一樣當然就係睇睇 packing 上面嘅 best before date 啦: Y" R+ Y$ N/ y* o, @' Q. o' f: K
2 A' E  l- T: w' B
肉色方面, 當然越紅越好啦
& [$ _4 S3 |$ z: u% a$ k# c7 w  C: `
(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.)$ w5 r/ g) P( g+ s: S) _5 c* x

You guys have to try grilling steak on open fire.
- P) i+ ?+ Y% z$ l1 c2 _/ F9 W/ s9 bIt's the best because you don't need to add any oil, and keep the raw favor of the steak.1 u1 a  Y+ U2 U# J# i4 y+ H

Another thing to know when buying steak is "aging".- M) l& ~* g7 A6 {

- e# |4 n  t5 ~8 X9 |: pSing can explain the science behind this.
7 u9 C# L  S! C6 e
/ u/ s! V" U4 x% z( E4 d3 i) MAging 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 : v# }; Z/ ~. o( D& x7 G
$ `/ I* s$ n% s% x
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.

問題:

3 i; |" S3 W- T9 ?作往後一星期主菜之用  D; b; g2 R, p/ f$ h* M0 ?
有何烹調方法介紹? (可以擺得耐又好食)

* @! m( Z' k5 a5 ^7 M0 d$ [樂樂﹐你尼個問題好GENERAL禍﹐烹調方法真係可以寫成本書。' z; y8 H2 r3 S- k( C

0 r: ^, M/ X2 K1 C* e1 j! I+ I8 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。
5 Q9 J: C. `, s# q9 q- J
) A: t0 C  @" v/ B9 \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>>+ @$ {  u/ |$ |+ Y.

& i% ~  J. b4 A& Z% w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。

; d8 [5 B- O- x5 e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。
5 K  m7 D0 C% ^* {; C+ L* u% ?$ H7 d( w
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。。/ E$ w/ s) K$ A# |9 }2 k
