Chapter 1130 Western Food
Mother Meng saw that the father and son were united, so she didn't worry about it, "Son, if you have anything to help, just tell me, I'll help you." ”
Meng Chuan waved his hand, "Don't worry, I can handle it alone." With that, he closed the kitchen door.
First of all, you need a frying pan to fry the steak, and if you don't have a frying pan, you can use the frying pan that you use to stir-fry at home.
The second is the stove, Meng Chuan here is not very recommended to use the gas stove, because the fire of the gas stove is relatively strong, the temperature is difficult to control, the steak itself is relatively thick, you say that if the fire is too big, the steak is fried, and the beef is not cooked, which is not good.
Here, Meng Chuan recommends that everyone use an induction cooker, the induction cooker itself is not expensive, one or two hundred induction cookers are no problem for a few years, and most homes should have them.
Meng Chuan put the pan on the induction cooker and began to make it, first pour the oil, if there is butter, then it is the best, if not, use salad oil, if you eat, ordinary people can not taste the difference in taste between the two oils to make steak.
You don't need too much oil, a thin layer is enough, then put in the steak and start frying slowly, because the temperature of the induction cooker is not very high, so you don't have to worry too much about frying or anything, just put it in the pan-frying.
As for the number of turns, you only need to control the number of turns, because the more times you turn the dough, the faster the water loss in the steak will be, and in this case, the taste will be much worse.
And frying steak is more than a patience, you don't have to worry too much, it will fry paste or something, if you really don't feel at ease, move the steak left and right more, don't let him fry in the first place.
Turning it back and forth once, it takes about five minutes, and the steak is almost medium-rare, if you are not afraid of eating raw, you can pick it up and eat it, but Meng Chuan does not recommend this, because the meat still has to be cooked and eaten.
Some people will say at this time, isn't the steak the best if it's medium-rare, why should it be fully cooked?
As for the question of taste, everyone is different, but there are more people who like medium-rare steak, so people mistakenly think that medium-rare steak is the best taste.
In fact, Meng Chuan has been abroad for so many years and has learned a lot about the practice of Western food, and for them, steak with faith is only medium-rare.
Don't think that there is little difference between medium-rare steak and raw steak, in fact, authentic medium-rare steak can't see blood juice, only the same beautiful burnt tan.
In addition, the surface of the authentic medium-rare steak is not bloody, but sweet gravy, which is very tempting at a glance.
Finally, when the knife is cut, what you see is not a frightened bright red, but a dark red like ham sausage, and when you taste it, you can taste it and melt it with just a gentle chew, leaving a mouthful of fresh and sweet aftertaste.
But authentic medium-rare steak can't be made even by ordinary Western families, so medium-rare is the general steak doneness of faith, unless you meet a real master-level chef, it is better not to try medium-rare steak.
And more people in the West like to eat medium-rare steak, maybe Meng Chuan's circle is different, most of the steaks eaten by those mercenaries are medium-rare.
Perhaps the most people eat medium-rare steak, but the taste is definitely not the best.
And why does Meng Chuan want to make fully cooked steak, this is very simple, because the steak Meng Chuan buys is the kind of quick-frozen steak in the supermarket, if everyone wants to try the steak, most of them will be bought in the supermarket.
The quality of this kind of steak, Meng Chuan doesn't know how to describe it, anyway, it's better to make it fully cooked, otherwise if it is not cooked, it will have diarrhea later, and this will not be done.
Once the steak is cooked, add some black pepper and you're ready to serve.
This is the easiest steak to complete.
Simple doesn't necessarily mean it's not delicious, compared to those steaks that have to be marinated first and piled up with various spices, Meng Chuan thinks that if you get it like that, why not just fry a dish of beef and fry the steak, isn't it a lot of one move.
The steak was put aside first, and Meng Chuan began to make pasta.
Pasta is an ingredient that we can buy in the usual supermarket, this kind of noodles is very hard, so when cooking, you must cook it for a while, Meng Chuan suggested that it should be boiled for seven or eight minutes, if you are worried about not cooking, you can pinch the table to see.
In the noodle cooking pot, Meng Chuan began to make the sauce.
Chop an onion and garlic into minced pieces and set aside, then take out two tomatoes, blanch them with boiling water, cut them into small pieces, and use them to boil the juice.
Let's start making the pasta sauce, if you have butter, then use butter, if you don't have butter, you can use salad oil, but remember, try not to use the sunflower oil, peanut oil and the like that we usually eat, it will taste a little worse.
After pouring oil and heating, add the onion and minced garlic and stir-fry for a minute to bring out the flavor, then immediately pour in the tomato cubes and start boiling, because the tomato cubes are small, so they can quickly melt into juice.
Then you have to add the two most important seasonings, oregano leaves and basil, which you may not have heard of, but these two seasonings are indeed available in some supermarkets, and if you can't buy them, you can buy them online.
And it's not expensive.
If you want to eat traditional and authentic pasta, it is best to have some of these two seasonings, anyway, spices, which can also be used when cooking other dishes.
After adding the seasoning, the sauce is almost done, but you still have to add a spoonful of salt and a spoonful of sugar to enhance the flavor before it comes out of the pan.
At this time, the pasta was almost cooked, Meng Chuan put the pasta on the plate, put the steak together, and finally poured the finished sauce, so that the plate of pasta and steak was done.
The last salad, which couldn't be simpler, is nothing more than a fruit salad or a vegetable salad, which can also be mixed into a vegetable and fruit salad.
It depends on what fruits and vegetables you have at home, let's give an example of the most common fruits and vegetables, such as apples, pears, bananas, kiwifruit, dragon fruit, etc.
For vegetables, such as carrots, cherry tomatoes (cherry tomatoes), cucumbers, etc., cut what you have, cut into small pieces, put them on small plates, and then pour the salad dressing, so that a plate of vegetable and fruit salad is complete.
In less than half an hour, Meng Chuan walked out with Western food, "Mom, Dad, come and try the Western food I made." ”
Meng's father and mother saw that there was steak and pasta, and immediately came around, "My son is so skilled, I can smell the smell of rice from afar." ”
Meng Chuan saw that there seemed to be something missing on the table, thought for a long time, sighed, and took out a bottle of red wine from his bag, "Come, drink a little red wine, drinking some red wine every day can not only beautify your skin, but also have a lot of benefits for your body, but you can only drink a small glass, and if you drink too much, it still won't work." ”
