"Tick"

At this time, the oven was preheated to 160 degrees, and the red wine and water in the cast iron pot were also boiling. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Closing the oven door and setting the time to 30 minutes, Xia Yu turned around and walked to the kitchen counter, leaving two assistant chefs looking at each other, as well as Chef Kasumigaoka who stared at the baking time in disbelief.

"It's out in 30 minutes?"

"No way! We did all the routine steps just now, and I didn't see him secretly processing the beef, so how could it be baked in 30 minutes? If it was a normal oven, it would have to wait for one to two hours. ”

Chef Kasumigaoka listened to the whispered discussion of the two assistant chefs, and he frowned deeply.

Where is the different link?

He held his chin in his hand, from the beginning of cutting beef to the final oven step, thinking back and forth, and finally a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and his heart was silent, "Could it be...... Did you do anything with your knife skills?"

Regardless of how outsiders imagined, Xia Yu turned his back to them and was busy with himself.

Continue in a wok and fry the mushroom slices with melted butter.

Half an hour actually passed quickly, and with a ding, the oven was reminding. Xia Yu turned around and took the cast iron pot out of the oven, poured all the soup into the pan, and used a spoon to skim off the foam and grease on the surface of the soup.

This is a fat-removing step, and if the flavor is strong, you can continue to add salt and pepper after the fat-shedding.

Bring the soup to a boil, return it to the cast iron pan, add the fried mushroom slices, and continue to cook on the gas stove.

In fact, many Western restaurants will stop at this step of cooking beef stew with burgundy red wine, cover it and put it in the refrigerator to prepare for tomorrow.

In other words, you can save the dishes that are about to be completed until tomorrow, and when the guests order, they can be served on the table with a little heat.

You know, if there is no special treatment, it takes an average of 4 hours to cook a burgundy red wine goulash, which restaurant has the patience to wait?

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The silver kitchen knife jumped on the cutting board, and Xia Yu finally grabbed the chopped parsley and sprinkled it on the surface of the plate, so that the beef stew in burgundy red wine was complete.

"Let's serve—"

Xia Yu took off his apron and kitchen hat on the one hand, and instructed the two cooks on the other.

The aroma of the food has been dissipated to the extreme during the plating, and the rich smell of beef wafts through the kitchen.

Uncontrolled peristalsis of the Adam's apple.

The two cooks sniffed the smell in the air, and suddenly found themselves hungry, and their stomach acid secreted sharply.

Catching a glimpse of two drooling helpers who couldn't walk in front of the kitchen counter, Xia Yu laughed while washing his hands: "There is still a little left in the pot, and the plate can't fit it, you can try my craft." ”

"Is that okay?" the eyes of the two cooks lit up.

"If you don't want me, I'll eat it myself, I have a big appetite, and I will never have too much......

"Don't!"

One of the cooks quickly found a fork and gave it to his companion, and the two gathered in front of the cast-iron pot on the kitchen counter, sniffing the smell of the food in the pot up close, and their eyes were green and hungry.

"Snort"

The silver fork, with a slight stab, pierced through one of the pieces of beef.

A small piece of the surface of the beef collapsed, and a stream of soup seemed to find an outlet, and quickly overflowed through the hole pierced by the fork.

"It's so soft...... Why is there so much soup hidden in the beef, and why is the elasticity of the beef so amazingly ...... after it has been boiled and roasted?"

Chef Kasumigaoka was beside him, his eyes staring.

The beef entrance, the expressions on the faces of the two cooks, from the initial shock, to the happiness of tasting the delicious, and finally a kind of piety like looking up at the holy mountain.

Appetite also occupied his heart for a while, Kasumigaoka found a knife and fork, carefully cut off a corner of beef, and slowly put it in his mouth.

The rich aroma of meat suddenly spreads on the tip of the tongue.

Then, another sweet taste of red wine spreads throughout the mouth.

The first impression of the entrance was amazing, and the chef of Kasumigaoka carefully tasted it for a while before gently biting down and chewing the beef in his mouth, and the stronger flavor made him wonder why, and the soup contained in the beef was swallowed with the meat.

Grunt.

The moment he swallowed it, the enjoyment on Chef Kasumigaoka's face suddenly turned into shock.

The body is warm and fluttering.

Why does just tasting a small bite fill people's hearts with a sense of happiness?

……

Starlight Revolving Western Restaurant.

Three male diners shouted impatiently at their positions.

"It's been almost an hour, where's our burgundy goulash?" The bald diner rolled up his sleeves and looked at the time of his watch, shouting incessantly, "Is this the service of your restaurant to keep guests waiting?"

The two Chinese ladies sat silently not far away.

"Food hooligans are disgusting. ”

The round-faced and cute female tourist posted a complaining Weibo and secretly took a photo and uploaded it, writing: "It's really a disappointment. Today in Amiyokocho, Neon Tokyo, I came across the legendary food wandering. The chef of the restaurant was too tender and almost fell into a trap, but my sister also met an interesting little brother because of it. ”

Weibo attached a smiley face emoji at the end.

"It's served!"

The companion tugged at her sleeve. The female tourist hurriedly put away her mobile phone, holding her round face with both hands, with a very expectant expression.

The assistant cook and waiter successively placed six white round porcelain plates containing beef stew, side dishes and soup on two tables, three on one side and three on the other.

As soon as the food was served, the eyes of the two female tourists were attracted.

"Full marks for the dish and taste!" The round-faced female tourist couldn't wait to pick up the knife and fork, cut off a corner of beef and put it in her mouth, and this was the first bite, and the female tourist's mouth couldn't close, surprised and delighted.

"It's so soft, and it tastes great!I've never eaten beef so soft, how do you deal with it?!"

After swallowing the beef, the round-faced female tourist turned her head to stare at the two cooks.

"Moreover, after stir-frying and stewing, the meat quality has not become slag, on the contrary, it is still very delicate and smooth, swallowing it with the soup, that feeling, I am about to become a fairy......

The female tourist looked excited and talked, her big eyes were shining, but she suddenly remembered that this was a Japanese Western restaurant, and two helpers who could not understand Chinese stood awkwardly.

A young chef slowed down in English with a thick accent, "I'm sorry, ma'am, but this is not the work of our Kasumigaoka chef. ”

Both female tourists understood.

“…… Is that little brother just now?" both of them had tasted this Western food, and they looked at each other with incredible faces.

Not long ago, they tasted Chef Kasumigaoka's burgundy beef stew, which was really good, and it was considered above average among many Western restaurants.

But after tasting the Burgundy red wine beef stew in the back, and looking back and thinking about the taste of the previous dish, it is very obvious which is better or worse.

To put it more cruelly, the taste of the two is not on the same level.
