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

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"

( U) r1 {9 g4 c- D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- P- P- n9 I+ D/ K7 I  o' O9 s! ^

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 y  ]" Q5 u; X

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).4 Z6 H2 L9 R( h- c

You guys have to try grilling steak on open fire.
9 y# e# c/ b' c6 l2 W6 @+ ?3 p) z  QIt'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".; N: F, Z7 S  J; z7 v

+ J/ ?) L, A/ X' W. {6 P" O& G: LSing can explain the science behind this.
# @. {) n2 P, ?: N! T6 a6 b9 s$ `' R- Q8 n" H
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
9 R, K. C+ M- p3 A1 `& T* p0 [* z$ ^: Z
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.

樂樂﹐你尼個問題好GENERAL禍﹐烹調方法真係可以寫成本書。1 c  J: z) G& C6 L% k
2 r0 v( ^/ M+ G
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。
- ?6 f/ }- @, l. U" b5 K. w4 D' R; x' Z; y  K
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>>

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。4 H0 [5 z, `. L8 n/ u  r7 Y

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。( [7 O2 B$ E* S& ]1 n' Z

; p5 i  ?, B- f$ g% X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。。
