4 k3 c9 e7 g' I* n. ^* Q, N; d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。! ~: Y( o; f: I' D6 D) u

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9 n7 n4 _' u! I. y: G1 E' w, F

3 {" i( m# }* X6 A  s* E4 m" V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"
/ m- D' R" R% h3 T8 l& R: G' j0 w. [( s& W. z
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
0 @6 N" R: Z* m; u) o
5 P' [7 \- r6 r9 k# T" o, I9 t2 \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
  }9 m2 T  G# \- p' r0 h
8 T# y% D1 a" |  K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).
7 i  r) _6 r2 {9 ]9 U9 x/ ^# A* j0 ~1 o' O% J
而 John Wu 兄提及嘅 New York strip or strip loin, 一般都係用嚟 roast! `$ g' V  |9 }- p/ Z

$ z; q8 [, O8 s' i8 K2 s! e$ T# I) F. h3 E0 s& c
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
5 J6 a; E% k. h8 `; \, o
$ ~( ]' d+ U! v: w) G: I5 K9 ^1 G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
1 e* k- {7 F' M' G6 n& r: ]& R( L: }6 \
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)
' I$ G6 G# I! z0 j- {3 P+ ?
8 l+ j8 M  C$ q0 d另一樣當然就係睇睇 packing 上面嘅 best before date 啦
/ Q( S; R9 C1 {& P- Y
! E7 q) A, S$ R! @! X; C肉色方面, 當然越紅越好啦
' J8 m9 v& Q- O, R4 M
" j; X5 d( \. p6 `3 f1 t6 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.)

It's the best because you don't need to add any oil, and keep the raw favor of the steak.

But I guess it would be hard to do if you don't have a outdoor grill.

Another thing to know when buying steak is "aging".
2 K( l! x" A2 s, h0 G
& J5 J4 g) y( o1 hSing can explain the science behind this.2 F1 c; J6 t' p0 u

$ q5 k" m/ @, e% O  k! F7 HAging 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 m6 Z; x% r2 g- c" r% g8 r' y0 m) A

( `3 P! W) _% D; w; 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.

問題:

作往後一星期主菜之用

( V5 u& O" D4 d% L! z
樂樂﹐你尼個問題好GENERAL禍﹐烹調方法真係可以寫成本書。
7 E: K+ {# ~0 a$ M2 ~
9 J7 R. x9 d( S+ g$ z- G* q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。
  Z, Z$ @- E. k4 F3 ^+ I( q' S
2 Q* N, J9 c9 u4 H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>>( P, [) X5 \! \" [( t; x3 V7 ^9 Q
  _0 v7 f2 u. I" a. s) o) Z
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- W& G! c' T6 U
8 h4 G5 S# {! z  f3 N2 L* i- \
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。
! F9 l' W5 d) J2 j4 f
: _/ K% v- K& b/ ?1 N* B  d羊脾- grill 距﹐夠野味!!!
, v3 m4 p! k% w% q+ j5 a; Z/ Z
. p; ~* L- I- A; _/ m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" c1 k0 _  V# w" X2 F4 q: U! P& ]& r
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。。
