7 M( N: B, \/ A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
' m& h& J  l- S& L0 a! Q8 b: y4 t; B1 h1 A" F; o/ Z
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 u, G& D. \# f1 T: `+ e+ o  r8 A* ?- v/ Z, d8 S
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
) O$ `' ^4 |7 g6 b" M; }3 R
: Q* U8 s( M$ h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1 }5 @2 `8 L$ y1 u0 ~, m" e

. O8 Z2 k3 X% Q; h0 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).
( k; K2 R/ W  \5 p% t1 R
4 b: H" O0 a" a& z而 John Wu 兄提及嘅 New York strip or strip loin, 一般都係用嚟 roast
# W  M/ a0 F" ?6 i% a9 G" Z& x2 y: `( w; s* \- q& U, F
食邊 part? 首先就睇你荷包有幾錢喇. B  A4 ]6 ^) ]1 [3 r8 Y

# @8 E# y1 M9 w7 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' a; I1 x5 N9 d1 r2 A% J4 p1 S% ~

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), T3 R) @: z0 p
% m- p- A4 w2 j! r+ O5 @1 \# b
另一樣當然就係睇睇 packing 上面嘅 best before date 啦# d/ M; a( e' ]0 W9 C9 o' V

  k! S1 h8 v" H$ p5 E1 K! ?" s肉色方面, 當然越紅越好啦 * S9 J$ ~- I" j" x
9 I9 N/ `! z! S! R
(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.)+ J9 |; z6 Y) l6 |% p

You guys have to try grilling steak on open fire. " O8 ]: w$ H! N# W" p, f5 \
It's the best because you don't need to add any oil, and keep the raw favor of the steak.* x8 r2 `& q* e: h. c

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".
( v8 ], e: ?' ~6 x
3 y! y9 j4 w. @  q4 q' uSing can explain the science behind this.
1 ]7 V2 N. F" Q% D
+ k8 H! W. F2 C& \8 W! x" OAging 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! i# p- J$ l% P4 G) u
) Q5 g& g+ f0 G( y& T
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)

' n) c# z/ C4 w! Y% H
樂樂﹐你尼個問題好GENERAL禍﹐烹調方法真係可以寫成本書。
  U" n2 _5 q' A9 g
/ @$ @. C5 {9 A( ]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。
! v0 N0 N' l2 J3 V( K8 Q- C2 M9 g* t1 g) `; a) \
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>>
( r% L! e1 D: m& [3 x5 k! P) }) X0 s1 r4 Q4 e" \; Y
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。
7 K5 M- D1 o1 P( J  d& K
  i% i" ?0 c3 w: y5 n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。

8 S  d0 ~4 S9 p. s/ P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。; O( [; Q  r7 ~9 f  {

% {" W9 w) n' D" U9 L) u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。。1 Y9 J. t/ x3 C4 x
