$ |8 u9 q4 B% y  w+ }: U1 R$ r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。; v3 p4 G0 V9 M/ a: Z: z

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1 [  G: y' z( U9 q7 ?
: o' I2 |. D5 Q
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": N2 n( l+ k( H4 W. b
5 }% I; f9 E/ A. 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! N. l" D8 p. ~4 q* Z$ Y: v
+ J0 W& S7 P: N" R3 p1 ?% [6 t3 g7 b
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
5 A3 |! S5 g7 ]' f# _' E( H* J& S$ k2 ^. x5 b1 @% A* q6 i
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).
" {; c1 ?- Z3 O* [7 R, `
, c$ n. O  C/ e5 b9 M- `1 J& |而 John Wu 兄提及嘅 New York strip or strip loin, 一般都係用嚟 roast

" y( z" w2 k* E0 ^( n食邊 part? 首先就睇你荷包有幾錢喇
! h0 M+ _5 w' b4 s% S8 ~& t; c2 i2 W! H5 T$ 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
: P$ S& t  a$ r0 J. [
( a1 B" ^' A% n  X0 R  Y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) a# p. P3 D' ^2 Z2 L
& B* Q4 ?) V7 ?. y" B
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)/ V6 X) D, v* G- c; ^$ i9 E! d

* k8 J3 s" L4 L5 |- o; b另一樣當然就係睇睇 packing 上面嘅 best before date 啦
2 h' b- m9 S9 f3 z9 Z- e& D$ ?' ?1 v9 |
肉色方面, 當然越紅越好啦
" s4 q* D: Y7 Q2 O3 j/ t: m+ H8 o$ S/ Q# w8 z/ d6 R8 }* ^
(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.)4 q7 o3 y6 E. @( {

You guys have to try grilling steak on open fire. 1 n$ M; w5 ^( j) Z
It'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".
% b4 I8 }6 o7 ~. ?9 }: L5 _8 U7 s4 W# G% k+ o: P
Sing can explain the science behind this.  ^- Y! d/ Y) `; ^3 A  x

7 R" A5 j& f# ZAging 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
$ o+ v& A: n; O2 Q, ^7 T
8 f4 V: b* G4 c% M: ^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) ' K9 c; Y5 B5 d" g5 A2 S. Z% k; p
作往後一星期主菜之用
# N# Q8 {. b, D$ R: Y6 \7 m; `; L. W% j有何烹調方法介紹? (可以擺得耐又好食)

) A) ?$ |, E( C4 i- r1 Q9 Q7 A" m
樂樂﹐你尼個問題好GENERAL禍﹐烹調方法真係可以寫成本書。
. ~4 k! l5 s) o) U7 Z
0 h& o1 }" I8 [4 m) h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。. p+ l# S: l. ~

& B0 b1 z" q4 ?8 Y# _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>>* s; P, o4 [' Y/ d. w8 h

! V3 K: K% F0 t+ @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。
$ R0 U- o8 b; p* u/ g
6 K9 U. e9 O0 z; d. I( c) ^5 g- T2 f1 R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。6 C  K* V$ K: m4 {& S

3 v3 X! i2 i* [7 }1 ~' }' w; @1 z7 @2 Q, a
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。% i4 w* }0 c3 A/ v1 D3 t

7 I0 e2 S# q8 w+ R  e' U6 y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。。' e2 o0 w5 Q  T( `
