Chapter 594 Fried Steak

Zhou Xinglong didn't say anything, he would assess the situation, if he didn't perform well, he would have no chance at all.

He put away his displeasure, smiled, and continued cooking steaks for others.

Meng Wanqiu took Jiang Yang to choose steaks in the ingredients area.

"This steak should be fat or thin. It can't be too fat or too thin. If it's too fat, it tastes greasy. If it's too thin, it tastes bad." Meng Wanqiu said while choosing.

Judging by the way she chooses, she is really not an outsider.

Jiang Yang asked in a low voice: "Did you really work in a restaurant?"

Meng Wanqiu raised her head and said with a smile: "Otherwise you think it's fake! When I was studying abroad, I often went to work, sometimes as a cashier in a supermarket, sometimes as a waiter in a restaurant."

"So powerful!" Jiang Yang exclaimed.

"That's not true!" Meng Wanqiu said.

"Then how many occupations have you had in total?" Jiang Yang asked.

Meng Wanqiu thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I don't remember."

While the two were chatting, Meng Wanqiu found a good steak ingredient.

"That's it, the ratio of fat to meat is just right!" Meng Wanqiu picked up the piece of beef and said.

Jiang Yang looked at the piece of beef, the marbled fat was distributed on it, but the distribution was not particularly uniform.

Meng Wanqiu excitedly took the steak and came to the cooking table.

"Before frying the steak, you must use kitchen paper to absorb the blood." Meng Wanqiu took out the steak and pressed it on the kitchen paper.

"This steak is not thin, so you can marinate it first for the sake of flavor. By the way, Jiangyang, can you eat black pepper?" Meng Wanqiu asked.

Jiang Yang nodded and said, "It can be eaten."

"That's good. Marinate it with a little black pepper and salt first, so that it can taste better. At this time, you can prepare some other things, such as side dishes. The steak doesn't need to be marinated for too long." Meng Wanqiu said, While doing it.

Jiang Yang looked at it seriously, and didn't point fingers at Meng Wanqiu just because he was a chef.

Meng Wanqiu heated up the pot, and when the temperature was about the same, he put the steak in the pot.

Only the sound of "sizzling" can be heard, which is the sound of fat bursting when the fat touches the high temperature of the iron pan.

"Actually, you don't need to add oil to fry the steak. There is enough oil in the fat. You need to seal the sides when frying the steak, that is, fry it in all directions." Meng Wanqiu said.

Jiang Yang nodded seriously, looking very much like an apprentice.

"At this time, you can put a little butter in, so that the fried steak has a faint milky aroma. Of course, you can also leave it out, it all depends on your personal taste. I like to add a little butter, are you used to it?" Meng Wanqiu asked.

Jiang Yang nodded and said, "I'm used to eating."

Meng Wanqiu nodded, and put a small piece of butter in it.

Soon, Meng Wanqiu added a sprig of lemongrass to let the steak absorb the aroma of lemongrass.

"Jiang Yang, how mature do you like to eat?" Meng Wanqiu asked.

"All right." Jiang Yang said.

Meng Wanqiu nodded in agreement and said, "I also like well-done. I always feel that eating medium-rare meat is the same as eating raw meat."

"Yeah, there's still blood in it, so it's not the same as raw meat." Jiang Yang said.

Meng Wanqiu smiled and said, "That's what you said wrong, it's myoglobin, where is blood."

"It's the same anyway, it's better to eat well cooked." Jiang Yang said.

The two were talking, and a piece of steak was fried.

Meng Wanqiu picked up the steak. There is actually no need to wake up the steak for a well-done steak. The main purpose of warming up the meat is to let the outside temperature penetrate into the inside.But if it is fully cooked, it is already cooked inside and out, so there is no need to wake up the meat.

Cut the steak, sprinkle with a little salt, and arrange it into a nice shape.

"Dangdangdang, look, my steak is okay!" Meng Wanqiu said while holding a plate.

"It's definitely possible. You can see that the outside is burnt brown, not even a chef can't make it." Jiang Yang praised without hesitation.

"That's it!" Meng Wanqiu said proudly.

At this time, Zhou Xinglong who was at the side said quietly: "Sir, it is not a gentleman's behavior to let a lady cook. Why don't you show your skills? Let Miss Meng also taste your cooking."

Jiang Yang frowned and looked at Zhou Xinglong, in front of so many friends of Meng Wanqiu, it was difficult for him to get angry.When is it your turn to intervene in the matter between me and my girlfriend?

"Zhou Xinglong, right? What happens between me and my boyfriend doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it?" Meng Wanqiu was not polite.

"I am the gentleman who should serve the lady. After all, as a gentleman, how can I let the beautiful you cook?" Zhou Xinglong said.

"Whether or not to cook is our business, so you don't need to worry about it." Meng Wanqiu said.

After finishing speaking, he did not give Zhou Xinglong a chance to speak, and brought Jiang Yang to the dining area.

"Try it, how about my fried steak?" Meng Wanqiu said.

Jiang Yang nodded silently, and forked a piece of steak with a fork.

The aroma of black pepper is mixed with the aroma of citronella, with a hint of milk in the middle and the aroma of the steak itself.

Before entering the mouth, Jiang Yang knew that the taste must be good.

The feeling after the entrance is very tender, even if it is a well-done steak, it still does not feel very old.

Needless to say, the taste of the steak itself is very good. With the taste of black pepper and a touch of butter, and the finishing touch of a little salt, the overall taste of the steak is quite outstanding.

"How is it?" Meng Wanqiu asked with anticipation in her eyes.

"It's delicious!" Jiang Yang said.

"Really? You didn't lie to me?" Meng Wanqiu said with a smile on her face.

"I'm not lying to you, it's really delicious." Jiang Yang said.

Meng Wanqiu smiled even more happily. It is enough for this dish to be praised by Jiang Yang.

Meng Wanqiu also tasted a piece, and it tasted really good.

"It's a pity that the steak is not good enough. If we have the opportunity, we can try Kobe beef. It is really top-notch. The ratio of meat to fat is just right, and it feels like it melts in your mouth." Meng Wanqiu said.

"Okay." Jiang Yang naturally agreed.

How could Jiang Yang not have heard of the reputation of Kobe beef?It's just that the price is expensive, and he has never eaten it.

Two people, you and I have a piece, and soon a steak is finished.

Another advantage of eating in this restaurant is that you don’t need to wash the dishes, and you put them on the table after eating, and someone will come to clean them up.

Naturally, one steak was not enough for two people. Although Meng Wanqiu was half full, Jiang Yang didn't feel it at all.

After eating another piece of steak that Meng Wanqiu had fried, he felt full.

Meng Wanqiu's friends were really easy to talk to, and they didn't try to make things difficult for Jiang Yang.

A group of people get together, chat, drink and play cards. This is an activity for young people.

Of course, except for that Zhou Xinglong, Jiang Yang didn't want to see him.He looked at his girlfriend with the wrong eyes, and he spoke against himself everywhere.

Zhou Xinglong chatted with everyone about his work in the restaurant. A Michelin-starred chef is already an amazing profession in the eyes of ordinary people.

Especially when Zhou Xinglong described some delicious dishes, he was even more delighted, as if he was the chef of a Michelin restaurant.

"Mr. Jiang Yang, I don't know what kind of work you do." Zhou Xinglong asked provocatively.

"I run my own restaurant," Jiang Yang said.

"Oh, so it's a colleague! How about I introduce you to some great chefs?" Zhou Xinglong said, full of superiority.

Jiang Yang didn't pick up.

After staying for a short time, Meng Wanqiu offered to leave, she still had work to do in the afternoon.

Meng Wanqiu left with Jiang Yang.

Not long after they left, Wang Yue suddenly exclaimed: "It turned out to be him!"

"I said it looked familiar, but I didn't expect it to be him!" Wang Yue said.

"Who is it?" Chen Lai leaned over to look.

"I'll go!" Chen Lai also exclaimed.

"What's the matter with you two, why are you so surprised?" Another girl asked.

Wang Yue took out the phone and put it on the table and said, "Look for yourself."

I saw an encyclopedia on the phone, and there was a photo on it, which was Jiang Yang's photo.It read: The champion of the National Youth Cooking Competition, the youngest first-level chef in Huaguo...
