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。

Make sure you have lots of oil (olive oil better) and the pan is thoroughly hot. Dried the steak with towel, seasoned with a bit of salt and pepper...turn the heat to high....fried the steak on one side for about a min...flip to the other side and do the same. By now you should have the two sides 'caramelized', meaning the 'crust' is now burned. TURN THE HEAT DOWN TO LOW-MED or LOW...keep flipping from time to time...cooking time varies (depending on the thickness).1 v9 I$ K5 {+ [& y. r

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
* j8 _* Q3 Q9 ]% Y4 t6 ]: P& F  E% V4 V, S2 T. `( q; Z; 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"
9 |5 }! `: ^, a- r& n" {  q4 c8 f
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
. ], }5 l6 ~! N9 k% k6 v, I0 ]2 {4 O! {  q. R+ e
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, }6 N7 {$ K4 r

% R  X9 M) U2 i1 @! f; O% @4 q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).. n# m: R- T4 f2 \0 h1 {2 c

而 John Wu 兄提及嘅 New York strip or strip loin, 一般都係用嚟 roast  Q5 G- \9 m6 ~# B* D5 l1 K

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
  X/ h/ [, E9 A& J, U3 `9 V& \- J+ L8 g
, t1 |" t+ G) a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3 v3 m6 o' t" |1 d' B2 d3 p; \
; c9 u9 L3 c1 P" m! [4 b' I
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)
& x- X  q' y3 ^8 X, c( b% I
) j5 v! K4 Y3 E6 a5 d: p- l2 b另一樣當然就係睇睇 packing 上面嘅 best before date 啦& S9 i! f  j7 h6 g
$ X  w) `" A' k' p$ W9 S# M5 Q  g
肉色方面, 當然越紅越好啦 ' }9 |$ v2 m2 ~8 q  Y8 _6 z
9 w$ o# Y: h0 F& f/ P
(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.)9 k1 P4 M5 F2 B/ t

You guys have to try grilling steak on open fire.
1 O9 H, ]- v* QIt's the best because you don't need to add any oil, and keep the raw favor of the steak.( H5 s2 j( s5 G  h# E

Another thing to know when buying steak is "aging".4 e( W5 }: O( N) |. Z

3 b/ W' _( P% pSing can explain the science behind this.
  l3 s2 \$ q7 c4 f4 }! n, s9 p$ ^" z2 m3 N; s! |
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
& x; N' O% d* O% q' z4 a' H; Z/ Y% w; t9 T/ 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.

問題:
: f2 ~5 o6 Z) @* b如果要處理大量凍肉 (例如: 雞翼, 冰鮮雞, 急凍豬牛肉等等)
" C# i" u# S$ M" s" F1 X8 V, a作往後一星期主菜之用
8 u7 I+ E7 ]8 ^$ V有何烹調方法介紹? (可以擺得耐又好食)

! F/ p. X$ b* ]  J: {% g( a樂樂﹐你尼個問題好GENERAL禍﹐烹調方法真係可以寫成本書。
8 o7 v6 B9 a- A& V; e3 E9 g: A/ L. t4 ^
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。2 s& m9 k5 j# Z) A/ f5 }

$ P) x, z( j6 `* I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>>( b. G: A3 D9 |$ n
5 X) C$ ^# L4 J4 w
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。0 {( a: {: F& E: j  y
+ |" x2 i* U* q6 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。8 }- R# N& P+ g. a

$ t% u3 }* M$ P& i) n羊脾- grill 距﹐夠野味!!!

" M8 K8 F  _( f1 Q& I$ H7 R! C7 A! T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。3 j8 u6 S& K7 d" p

1 i# T, s" E, [" U! `% V, }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。。; Q, L4 J0 r8 X8 U' @
