- h0 b2 x: {6 }3 @& V4 F7 I2 F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。& R' _) a; s6 `" x: s0 A/ f

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  C# V" b" T0 X4 |, t

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"5 B6 @% W2 f! b0 I' o  x" s+ A6 C
& ~+ Z$ D9 {' b
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. ?/ h% X' B5 u( ^' n( N: }
- @, [1 T! j! f/ L% Y
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
  p) [  c: a; n- q* ^, [2 G: H7 \+ S- n; m6 \9 m+ U6 A+ l
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).1 I1 u+ E( Q+ `

/ z$ q! m( ~: j5 E! ](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.)  y6 l# N5 v, ^1 Y' m5 U6 B  G

You guys have to try grilling steak on open fire.

Another thing to know when buying steak is "aging".# n: X- M) G  B4 {" C% P" \

Sing can explain the science behind this.
5 `" P. l! d" r1 p- x5 K6 F3 X& u8 L4 n! u# O8 O% x8 ^
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 , g; o& ^8 ?' _8 s2 b. {' v5 G' \
  y  ]4 X/ g1 H5 [& v
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.

有何烹調方法介紹? (可以擺得耐又好食)

樂樂﹐你尼個問題好GENERAL禍﹐烹調方法真係可以寫成本書。
+ S$ Q0 g, p+ P/ C' M! ]% l3 t3 M  w0 K
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。& S- @/ C4 s! J# n% B2 l

3 b& z9 |# I* M# t6 Y, v5 E' N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>>9 E7 q% J( {0 C6 c8 N
! \- g' z# ~& m
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。  m3 ]- O/ D: s
5 k; y% _* [/ _+ g* J
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。

羊脾- grill 距﹐夠野味!!!# q& `. `) g- V. P2 |9 G
, O. y, U. Y. ^, z$ ?- g
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。* a9 I$ E( _9 \4 C8 m

" U) ?( Z! p1 d) Q  N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。。
