5 S' d5 |$ x$ ]. {- g' ^' h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。! J/ K* f1 B# m$ U6 k# a: E

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
6 z7 ~0 q6 e0 z) j; V: G
, u; I4 [) U( i9 R5 |. d$ g' }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"" H8 i$ L' W$ H5 s

* y; y. ]  B: i: s6 i% Q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
7 H6 R; A( k, q* q2 J4 v
. s1 l6 f, l" r4 T! P+ ^, J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# x& b) l: y' I4 P6 I4 t( @

2 o. U' K* ^, m  J6 G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).
( ~/ V; |' g) R! [5 A2 z  P( ?' W2 X9 K4 T
而 John Wu 兄提及嘅 New York strip or strip loin, 一般都係用嚟 roast
" J- t# ]. d3 H* S. F* i" o; X9 M; Y1 x5 `1 `  m5 C  e5 q/ a
食邊 part? 首先就睇你荷包有幾錢喇' b1 J5 l: P4 K6 j6 s  j
5 h3 t1 k+ }7 e. f: ?4 x9 p
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
6 l* V/ n( [- C+ _" z! J
/ u1 B0 e6 V$ |7 F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. n; `2 ^: A( V: q& z1 }3 u

/ M# a0 P) W# r! n  G% ?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)* c& Z  h8 C- [+ v* f# f
  C% ^7 R3 F0 U" h! S4 e( \" g! \
另一樣當然就係睇睇 packing 上面嘅 best before date 啦% _  H+ b* _' t. ?/ i' o; W6 l

肉色方面, 當然越紅越好啦
) b$ W# f" j; b  W$ A, q" ^$ A- X+ L$ r0 Z' d1 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.)

Another thing to know when buying steak is "aging".: s+ Z4 q, \7 H& V
( |( ^; e9 \- D' j
Sing can explain the science behind this.
* L# G, X# ~7 L' C8 @
, ?5 D1 a, {$ WAging 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 ; S" p/ x: r6 }3 S9 e
* Q( k. Q5 q5 [7 `6 F1 Q9 k
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.

如果要處理大量凍肉 (例如: 雞翼, 冰鮮雞, 急凍豬牛肉等等)

8 Z% r& {- N$ {) Y8 t: u+ d" H樂樂﹐你尼個問題好GENERAL禍﹐烹調方法真係可以寫成本書。
# c. n1 W5 H' o# Q! K% V: j
- f, q. L8 q6 y% S1 e" Z( G9 v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。
" o2 }/ r- e( n! p* |# T  {
! U, e. z) w0 K5 Q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>>' Q, ~) {  h+ P" T* _( x

+ a/ X+ L( F6 y: h' z* V7 Z9 C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。& C" {5 y+ U) k0 v' m$ H

' E5 d0 J$ L' X4 \; o0 d- g+ M2 Z: P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。0 x; R: H6 [6 Q5 F% D
7 ]3 S. G; T2 F7 A, [& M1 w: K
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。。. `" C% @1 z( S) U* p
