# `/ B4 L+ F, F1 T1 `6 K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
6 G  T" m6 g0 Q! L5 u
0 e( v2 R2 @# ]9 @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"
0 z9 X8 A+ U0 u" P8 A! F, [* t$ X- V9 p! [: w  c
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4 V( w) y1 i; O7 g2 v$ f) A8 W0 ^( N

7 k$ d2 i  O- y1 n; f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- f7 _' Y, j4 ]; b
* q# {/ Y% \- ?3 m- u2 ~
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).. l1 I' |- X! U6 t
& S2 K( p7 Q) n8 Q' n
而 John Wu 兄提及嘅 New York strip or strip loin, 一般都係用嚟 roast: `. I- Y- z$ [

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
- L0 N9 e$ g' s" O4 E7 f; Q$ B# }' M/ X# B
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. w3 ~* f+ g, A! m8 H/ `! X

* J' U1 p3 V4 W, ]" n' `& A3 c
另一樣當然就係睇睇 packing 上面嘅 best before date 啦

You guys have to try grilling steak on open fire.
0 H$ u9 Y" A# J. n, v0 YIt'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".
' [* A" W0 k, |+ u( X1 p. N* E8 v  L1 P0 v* ~' |9 S- `
Sing can explain the science behind this.# G# n6 t, [( v0 Y

" g2 v5 F& o8 _, vAging 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
8 }5 H- @4 O% _; R0 E; [2 G! P: P
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.

1 u# F, K# r7 W( q$ E& Q問題:$ Z4 P6 M9 m7 P0 e( P
如果要處理大量凍肉 (例如: 雞翼, 冰鮮雞, 急凍豬牛肉等等)
# T6 p+ t2 S2 n/ D( P$ N+ T7 e作往後一星期主菜之用( P# v1 a  O+ ~* s/ Q" d( w  [
有何烹調方法介紹? (可以擺得耐又好食)

, D0 u0 `& n! t樂樂﹐你尼個問題好GENERAL禍﹐烹調方法真係可以寫成本書。
, R5 ?7 D3 h* W
+ a2 O2 v  e+ v- j. H1 Y% y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。8 h& U: s- ~/ J1 L" _

& J4 A4 F5 F7 ?1 H, K3 ^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>>, W$ y" b0 f$ Q. t

& E8 g$ ~/ F  Z, R6 S  E9 [( i! S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" k: u: g6 \, A! y; O& ^
9 n) ~1 b) f- c7 E/ \% f7 f
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。1 A: a$ v) @) n4 d. D2 P4 e

1 e  l: ~( L% s羊脾- grill 距﹐夠野味!!!
; ~: Y- n5 d( `- p( d+ y3 \- g$ M9 U  e. n$ z; H
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。+ ~( ?1 u  o# ~, r. y$ |$ w; ^

- A0 S) m$ V4 {' Z" o" 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。。
