Chapter 883: Grilled Steak
Chapter 883: Grilled Steak
After the two sisters sat on the old man's chair, Lin Yutang pulled up the side curtains and conjured up a few sirloin steaks with his mind.
Then he produced a few packs of butter burger buns and some meat patties, pickles and the like.
"We have steaks and burgers. We'll make some cream of mushroom soup, some French fries, chicken nuggets, and so on. For the rest, let Sister Chen Xi and the others cook Chinese food. We're sure our foreign friends will be so enchanted by our Chinese food that they won't want to leave."
Lin Yutang planned carefully, thinking that he must do something that would make his old customers look good.
After a while, they arrived at Lin's fast food restaurant. After Chen Xi and his family of three finished cooking the dishes they were making, they followed Lin Yutang to learn how to cook steak.
"In my life, I've only seen braised beef and carrot beef soup, but I've never seen beef cooked in a third way."
Father Chen's eyes were full of curiosity. He wanted to see what the difference was between the beef eaten by people in other countries and that eaten in his country.
As everyone watched, Lin Yutang placed a few steaks with fat on one side on a special cutting board, and then used kitchen paper to absorb excess moisture from the surface of the steaks.
"My goodness, is this piece of beef this big?
However, the texture of the beef is quite nice.”
Father Chen turned his head and whispered to his wife, "Are all foreigners so fierce?"
"It should be cut open, right?"
Mother Chen thought, if such a big piece of meat is not cut into pieces, it will be difficult to pick it up with chopsticks, right?
That would be so troublesome to eat.
"Sister Chen Xi, give me the kitchen scissors."
Lin Yutang looked around but didn't see any scissors.
"okay."
Chen Xi swiftly handed over the meat-cutting scissors.
She thought the same thing as her parents, thinking that Lin Yutang wanted the scissors to cut the steaks into small pieces.
Unexpectedly, they only saw Lin Yutang slightly cut the oily edge of the steak and then put down the scissors.
"Not cutting it anymore?"
Chen Xi asked curiously.
“Well, there’s no need to cut other parts.
The edges of the oil need to be trimmed slightly, otherwise the steak will curl up when it is fried later."
After Lin Yutang finished speaking, he started to fry the steak.
Chen Xi and the others behind him took out their notebooks to write down what Lin Yutang had just said. These were all words of experience!
Lin Yutang took out a bottle of olive oil and poured some on the steak. After spreading it evenly on both sides, he started to heat the pan.
"Xiaotang, don't you need to put seasoning in the pot?"
Chen Xi found it strange that Lin Yutang didn't take any further action.
"No need, hehe, this steak is really just fried beef, it's very convenient."
As Lin Yutang spoke, he placed his palm about ten centimeters above the pot to feel the temperature. Once the temperature was reached, he picked up a piece of steak with a pair of tongs, placed the fatty side of the steak in the hot pot and began to fry it.
With a "sizzling" sound, a lot of fat was fried out from the tendon side.
A faint milky aroma suddenly spread in the air.
"Wow, this beef smells so good!"
Everyone took a deep breath of the fragrance in front of them and almost drooled.
No, why does this beef have a milky flavor?
After frying for a while, Lin Yutang placed the steak flat in the pan, frying each side for about 30 seconds before changing it, then turning to low heat and sprinkling with sea salt and black pepper.
"Tsk tsk tsk, beautiful Maillard reaction."
Lin Yutang looked at the colored steak and thought it was so tempting.
Everyone was confused. Why was there only salt and black pepper sprinkled on the meat? Was it already done or not?
Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Lin Yutang took out the steak and put it aside to "wake up the meat."
"Xiaotang, this is steak? Can we eat it now?"
Father Chen originally thought that the steak eaten by foreigners would be very complicated, but he didn't expect that it would be ready in just a few steps?
"The meat will taste better if you wait five minutes."
Lin Yutang said this as she made way for Chen Xi and the others to take turns frying a few more pieces. She then cut the two sirloin steaks she had just fried when the time came.
"Xiaotang, is this meat not cooked through yet?"
Mother Chen looked at the cut steak and saw that there was still some pink meat inside!
"Auntie, I heard that this steak tastes best when eaten this way. Come and try it~"
Lin Yutang said as he took the lead and picked up a piece of steak with a fork and put it into his mouth. The meat was rich in flavor, fat and juicy. It was wonderful.
"Let me try it, let me try it!"
Father Chen, who was standing by, was already extremely anxious. He picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece and put it into his mouth.
He originally thought that the beef would be bland after being simply cooked, but who would have thought that the steak was so tender, fragrant and slightly chewy, and the amazing thing was that it really had a light milky aroma!
"As expected, high-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods!"
After finishing his meal, Father Chen gave a thumbs up and concluded.
Although I often hear Xiaotang say this, it really makes sense.
