. X8 m, M# c3 ~& X& k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。# z/ h; l, a+ w

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
) q7 Q9 }+ n! ^9 O: f, W5 [. H2 }$ f) i8 y  I0 G$ L  e; H. i
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"
/ G: h+ t) E4 U" U) X% T; n, E& ^- 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
; d" C% O# u7 D8 O' B, W8 c# S( g. U8 a
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
" C% i" T# O% m" T) I) y7 P' O7 S- A& v
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).; B$ r2 J+ x- l9 s  E0 {
: X; l0 o. t6 [5 T
而 John Wu 兄提及嘅 New York strip or strip loin, 一般都係用嚟 roast
2 `! E' C$ S9 A& I4 C" T# y: S- ]8 h( x  D. b; u
食邊 part? 首先就睇你荷包有幾錢喇
2 Q% c8 ~( ?- {+ I0 z0 C4 x- S  p, W
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$ ?% ~( y( w: J& j, L6 a

" F7 N3 l% j3 q  J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9 l. \( I0 y) O' _* K

" W1 ]# [6 T2 q- @  \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); v& {9 P7 n. k: N; C1 k: H
% b( F- t$ `! J* z( r) Y3 ~# P) Z3 X* M1 a
另一樣當然就係睇睇 packing 上面嘅 best before date 啦* g; V5 G; g4 X  T
# t4 B4 \( |  v, \# |
肉色方面, 當然越紅越好啦
7 \  g, c$ A; o, U, C( d/ L" d8 h, Y2 A+ e7 M4 ]
(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.)

You guys have to try grilling steak on open fire.

Another thing to know when buying steak is "aging".
6 i/ d! s8 F, ]1 I. I- e
% K) i9 h! t$ USing can explain the science behind this.
5 Y* k3 f; t) @3 h9 I" P+ g/ L5 S2 n7 n! c( y: R7 t. r
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 0 [. D* r/ {, x$ q% X4 {* J& R
7 u) {- q( O& B& G% m+ b
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:
% E5 u' L4 t. ]7 k" C如果要處理大量凍肉 (例如: 雞翼, 冰鮮雞, 急凍豬牛肉等等)
$ `% r% e9 p" j" [% J/ r6 B# `; M作往後一星期主菜之用8 u- P$ F9 b+ Z" V
有何烹調方法介紹? (可以擺得耐又好食)

: u: I0 Q5 x) _3 \: q6 E4 f
樂樂﹐你尼個問題好GENERAL禍﹐烹調方法真係可以寫成本書。5 d+ e0 l7 C, A/ s0 B  s6 q0 \3 |

. e4 F; c9 K4 _, L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。! N- }% ^5 u8 o7 Q

3 p; g- X3 R7 b, s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 {: }5 B$ t0 H5 Y
- T/ F/ W' x( P  r' Z, G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。
  X6 Y0 z0 ~' e4 P) q' U8 `; K9 V4 b5 ?8 D! [
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。( u0 _3 G# G/ ^$ c4 z6 I

. U6 i) m  ]) P( K$ o3 ^羊脾- grill 距﹐夠野味!!!& C& y$ I6 T: L! n9 w: b; E
1 ^$ X& H) {3 R9 I2 h
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。: H7 {9 a" G- |* ~, H9 u

3 _8 Z) s) P3 I4 F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。。. l: Y+ i* }( k8 G& i! L
