Chapter 161: The Same Table
Gordon Ramsay, a chef known all over the world for his dirty words. It also has the most Michelin stars in the world.
One of his best and most well-known dishes is his Wellington steak. Reputable, gourmets all over the world have made it a big goal to taste Gordon's steaks.
Of course, it is still more difficult to eat the steak made by Gordon Ramsay himself.
Because he has his own restaurants all over the world, and he has a lot of reality shows to attend, various business events, and so on.
So in fact, there is not much time left for him to cook. As the world's kitchen god created by capital, Gordon Ramsay is very busy.
Of course, it may be troublesome for ordinary people to eat his food, but it is not a big deal for those rich and powerful.
In Washington, North America, in a building with the word "understand" flag fluttering in the wind. Gordon Ramsay is cooking his own.
"Hurry, hurry, there are only thirty minutes left until lunch, and where are my appetizers, scallops?!"
Gordon is like a tyrant in the back kitchen, as he did on the show "Teach You to Dirty."
"Bob, where's my scallops?!Don't tell me you haven't cleaned the scallops yet. ”
"That'...... I am doing it. A stocky middle-aged fat man chattered at the water platform.
"Then hurry. Half an hour later we have the first starter. My flame scallops are going to be ready. Gordon took his little note and yelled at his cooks.
"And risotto, Richard, you prepare risotto. ”
"Catherine your people prepare Caesar salad and wash faces. I'll prepare a Wellington steak!"
Gordon Ramsay has to take matters into his own hands today. Because it was King Understander who called him to cook today.
The reason why the king understands the king is that he naturally understands everything. He must also know a lot about cooking, and his reputation is outstanding, and Gordon doesn't want to offend the king.
What if he knew how to cook? What if he didn't eat the Wellington steak?
So just in case, let's do it yourself.
It's not for nothing that Gordon's Wellington steak is world-renowned and his signature specialty. Because this dish is really difficult to make.
The best beef tenderloin (filet) is marinated first, and a variety of seasonings are used to give the beef a taste first. It is then wrapped in layers with mushroom sauce, foie gras, a thin layer of Parma ham, and finally a layer of elaborate puff pastry before being baked in the oven.
Every detail of the Wellington steak has to be taken care of, otherwise the steak will be bland.
The choice of almost always lean beef tenderloin over the richer sirloin is because the Wellington steak itself is already very flavorful.
The thick mushroom sauce with the fatty foie gras is also coated with a layer of Parma ham, and if you choose a fatty sirloin at this time, it will cause the taste to be too fatty. I'm afraid that many people can't eat a second bite after taking one bite.
When grilling a wellington steak, it is actually more difficult to grill because the outer layer is wrapped in puff pastry. This is because it is not possible to judge the ripeness of the meat by directly observing the changes in the meat during roasting with the naked eye.
Beef is an amazing meat. This meat is tender and has a good taste when it is half-cooked and freshly broken. However, as long as you cook for a while after you break off, it will become dry and hard. That is, as the saying goes, you can't chew it.
If you simmer long enough, the meat will soften and start to become crispy.
Therefore, in Chinese cooking, it is more preferred to process beef in a stewed way, because it is more safe. And stir-fried beef, whether it is Hangzhou pepper beef tenderloin or black pepper beef tenderloin, this is a dish that has only become popular in recent decades.
In the past, stir-fried beef required a very skillful chef's mastery of the fire, and the beef should be turned off and served as soon as it was ripe. The meat is slowly matured with the remaining warmth, so that when it arrives at the guest's table, the meat is soft and fragrant.
With the advancement of technology, chefs have more and more tools to borrow, resulting in the difficulty of making many dishes decreasing.
Just like in the past, the snow bean paste that was required for the master of the white case master and the special chef exam was canceled after the appearance of the whisk. Because the most rare step in the snow bean paste is the beating of egg whites, which used to rely on the chef's hands to make the meringue. And now the advent of the electric whisk has made it possible for any person who can cook to make this dim sum that only a super-grade white case chef would make in the past.
The same is true for stir-fried beef. In the early years, the degree of use and awareness of tender meat meal was far less than it is now. Now, as long as the tender meat powder is grabbed and marinated, the chef of any small restaurant uses what kind of fire and how to copy it, regardless of whether he is overfried or even a little burnt, but the meat is still tender.
The same goes for making Wellington steak, which used to be a very difficult thing to grill. The puff pastry should be roasted to a golden brown and shiny color, and the beef inside should reach the level of five ripeness.
Now, with the help of a kitchen probe thermometer, the core temperature of the beef inside the puff pastry can be easily measured. Keeping the core temperature constant at 55 degrees is the most appropriate temperature.
Gordon was grilling his Wellington steak step by step, unaware that there was a guy waiting there invisibly out of sight. Wait for him to grill the steak and take it away.
Of course, when grilling the steak, the appetizer can already be served properly. But......
"Bob, why are there only so many scallops left in me?!" Tyrant Gordon was furious, "I asked for at least twelve scallops per plate, but why are there only eight scallops in each plate now?!!
The stocky fat man, who was working on the water platform, hurriedly ran over.
"No, no, Chef. I opened twenty-four scallops. And they're all fried very well, how can there be less?" Bob looked at the two plates, each with eight scallops left, and he was about to cry with grievance. Especially when Gordon stared at him without speaking, looking at him with a fierce expression, he felt like he was about to collapse.
"Shit, wash your brain before doing anything next time, don't let it be used by Martha's male dog and then use it to work!" Gordon Ramsay looked at his watch, he didn't have time to make a new one, he could only curse and curse. Then he personally put the scallops on a beautiful little cart and personally went to serve the food to King Knowing and the guests he had invited today.
Because the name of this scallop dish is called flame scallops, there is still one last program missing. That is, when the dish is served, a 70-degree vodka is poured in front of the guests and then lit.
This gives the scallops a wine-like and burnt aroma.
"Hmm, do you still have to drench wine and burn once? Well, no, no, no, Hua Hua can't drink when she is pregnant. This step is saved. A figure in the shadows shook his head.
And on the dining table of Lao Zhang's house in Hive City, a plate of fried scallops appeared in front of Jiang Hua, well, it looks exactly the same as what Gordon Ramsay did in the show "Teach You to Dirty".
Jiang Hua was not polite, picked up the knife and fork and ate the appetizer first.
In Washington, however, the king was not at all happy when he looked at the scallops burning in front of him. Because his approval ratings have been declining.
"If I can't be re-elected, I'm going to be these scallops. "Understand that the king has a lot of thoughts, and the person opposite him is the key to whether he can save himself.
ps: There will be three more today, ask for a ticket~
