Chapter 720: Black Pepper Steak
Cut the beef into palm-thick slices about a dozen pieces, and then ask a cook to find a rolling pin and beat each piece of beef carefully.
At this time, there were already a lot of people outside the kitchen, because today Hou Ye made food by himself, and it must be another delicious dish that he had never eaten before.
I also saw the chef beating the beef with a rolling pin, which is a strange way to make it even more unheard of.
Could it be that the beef is disobedient?
Seeing the rolling pin swinging and falling, many little servants felt a little soft all over their bodies, their cheeks began to redden, and their bodies began to heat up, as if Hou Ye was spanking his ass, and their hearts were full of extreme desire.
The beaten beef cubes are placed in clay pots, sprinkled with pepper, salt and a little wine and marinated for 10 minutes, while the cooks have already lit the charcoal fire in the grill and placed several washed thick clay pans on the grill to heat up.
In later generations, steaks in steakhouses were made with iron plates, and pottery plates were also used, but Chen Xu preferred to use pottery plates, which were heated more evenly and gently, and would not fry the meat because of heating too quickly.
"Master Hou, it's almost!" The cook in charge of the grill said after feeling the temperature of the clay plate.
"Get out of the way, be careful!"
As Chen Xu spoke, he first poured some tea tree oil into the hot pottery plate, and after the oil was warm, he picked up a piece of beef with a bamboo tong and gently placed it on the pottery plate.
"Huh~~"
With a puff of oil smoke rising into the air, the beef began to jump slightly in the tea tree oil, and in an instant a strange fragrance emanated and filled the entire kitchen.
"Goodong~" Several cooks and cooks shrugged and swallowed a mouthful of saliva almost at the same time.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
The fragrance wafted to the outside of the kitchen, and a group of servants and servants couldn't help but exclaim and stir, one by one they kept adding their mouths and swallowing saliva.
This delicacy must be extraordinary, and this taste alone has already killed most of the delicacies made by Hou Ye before.
The beef in the clay plate began to slowly change color, and there was a stream of juice slowly pouring out on the surface, Chen Xu grabbed some black pepper powder and sprinkled it on the top of the steak, and as time passed, the fragrance of the steak became more and more intense, and the fragrance of the beef and the strange spice of pepper continued to tear everyone's soul like a hook, and many people's mouths opened unconsciously, and a touch of halazi dripped down unconsciously while inhaling hard.
Soon, a few minutes passed, and the smell of the kitchen had spread throughout the kitchen, and more people gathered to crowd the kitchen windows and doorways to watch.
At this time, not only were the onlookers drooling, but Chen Xu himself was almost unable to stand up, as if there were countless gluttonous worms in his body desperately crawling out, and his mouth full of saliva couldn't be stopped.
"It's so fragrant, I can't walk anymore!"
A group of cooks kept swallowing, staring at the beef in the clay plate with their eyes eager to swallow it.
"Get out of the way, I want to eat, I want to eat!"
Xing'er and Yu Ji, two little girls, ran in from outside the yard in a hurry, and rushed into the kitchen with a loud shout.
"Wow, this is black pepper steak, so fragrant!"
"Brother, is it cooked, I want to eat it!"
The two girls rushed to the grill and shouted.
"Get back of your way, be careful!" Chen Xu hurriedly pulled the two little girls apart, and at this time, the juice on the surface of the steak was quite rich, and he felt that it should be six or seven medium cooked, so he used tongs to clip the clay plate off the grill and put it on the stove.
"Give me a knife and a fork!"
Chen Xu stretched out his hand, a kitchen worker hurriedly handed over a sharp knife and a bamboo fork, Chen Xu took a knife in his left hand and a fork in his right hand, carefully cut a small piece from the steak, and then put it in his mouth to chew after smelling it gently, and suddenly an extremely fragrant taste bloomed in his mouth.
Tender beef with a delicious pepper sauce and a hint of grape and fruit wine invigorate all the taste buds at once.
"Hmm...... Delicious...... That's the smell! Chen Xu closed his eyes slightly, and his face was full of satisfaction.
"Goo Dong ~ Goo Dong ~"
There was an instant sound of intensive swallowing inside and outside the kitchen.
"Brother, give me a piece!"
"Brother Xiaoxu, I want to eat it too!"
The two little girls had long been completely seduced by the fragrance of the steak and Chen Xu's satisfied expression, and couldn't bear it, shaking Chen Xu's arms vigorously from left to right.
"Don't worry, I'll cut it for you!" Chen Xu's elegance couldn't hold it anymore, so he had to swallow the beef in one bite, and then cut a small piece very numbly, Yu Ji couldn't wait to break his wrist and open his small mouth with a missing front tooth.
"Beware of scalding ......"
Before Chen Xu's words fell, the little girl whimpered and bit down.
"Hah...... Scalding ...... Delicious......"
The little girl completely inherited his father's boundless characteristics, shouting hot in her mouth but reluctant to spit it out, and even jumped with her hands to fan her mouth to cool down.
"Brother, and me!" Apricot jumped to her feet in a hurry.
"Here you go!" As long as Chen Xu cut another piece and handed it to Xing'er, the little girl was also like a hungry little tiger, opening her mouth to show two little tiger teeth and eating the steak.
Chen Xu hurriedly took the time to cut a large piece of himself again and stuffed it into his mouth, and then handed the knife and fork to Chunxiang next to her, and asked her to take Xing'er and Yu Ji to the restaurant with the steak and leave.
After Chunxiang took the two little girls away, Chen Xu swallowed the steak in a few bites, felt the strong aroma of the black pepper steak in his mouth, poured tea tree oil into several clay plates on the grill, and after the oil warmed up, he used bamboo tongs to put the remaining steaks on the clay plate one by one and fry them.
"哧~哧~哧~"
As the steak is put down piece by piece, a strong fragrance emanates out, and the fragrance in the whole kitchen seems to be so strong that it solidifies, everyone is caught in this strange fragrance and can't extricate themselves, and the fragrance of the steak permeates the kitchen through the kitchen, and then blows along the warm spring breeze to the entire Qinghe courtyard, and suddenly the whole courtyard is sensational, and the housekeepers, guards, and servants are rushing to the kitchen.
"Sister Shiyan, it's so fragrant, it seems that my husband's food has been ready!"
In the study room of the inner courtyard, Meng Wan and Ying Shiyan, who were writing stories, put down their pens almost at the same time.
Because with a gust of wind blowing, a rich aroma of barbecue meat entered through the window, this fragrance was mixed with a strange spicy taste that had never been tasted, and there seemed to be a trace of grape fruit wine, very special, very tempting, very seductive, Meng Wan couldn't help but stand up and walk out with her skirt.
"Sister, wait for me!" Ying Shiyan also quickly stood up and followed with her skirt.
In the kitchen, several steaks began to burst out of rich juice, and Chen Xu sprinkled some pepper more or less, which soon turned into a fragrant beef sauce wrapped on the surface of the steak.
The first fried piece is a little old, it is estimated that it is almost fully cooked above eight medium-rare, and the beef is not too tender, so this time Chen Xu decided to fry it more tenderly, and it is almost the same as medium-rare, as for the more tender taste, Chen Xu can't accept it, and he can't stand the kind of blood and water when he cuts it out.
"Alright, get out of the way!"
Chen Xu waved his hand to disperse a group of cooks and kitchen workers, and then quickly used tongs to pick up all the pottery plates from the grill and put them on the stove, and one of the kitchen workers hurriedly handed over a pair of knives and forks again.
This time, without the two little girls making trouble, Chen Xu cut off a few steaks next to each other and put a small piece into his mouth to taste it, and then nodded slightly, each piece of pepper is sprinkled differently, so the taste is also different, but the only thing in common is ...... Very tasty!
"Come on, the two ladies are here!"
After a commotion outside the kitchen, the crowd of onlookers dispersed, and Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan hurried over with their skirts.
Although the two of them have noble status, they are still teenage girls, and they don't have too many scruples under the temptation of food, and Daqin doesn't have too many messy etiquette.
"You're here just in time, the steak has just been prepared!" Chen Xu smiled and beckoned the two wives to look at the steak he had cooked, and then cut off two pieces with a knife and fork and fed them to the two wives to taste.
"Husband, this black pepper steak is so delicious!" Meng Wan nodded again and again.
"It's really delicious, the beef is tender, the sauce is rich, and the mouth is full of aroma, this is the best food Shiyan has ever tasted!" Ying Shiyan was full of praise as she looked at the steak that was still sizzling in the clay plate while eating.
A total of eight steaks were made, one was taken away, and there were still seven pieces now, Chen Xu asked people to pack five pieces on a wooden plate and send them to the restaurant, in order to satisfy the appetite of himself, his two wives and Xing'er Yu Ji first.
"You cut these two pieces and taste them yourself, and the rest of the beef and mutton are fried in the same way, remember to leave us a few lamb chops when they are ready, and strive to let everyone in the house taste them!"
After Chen Xu finished speaking, he took off his coat and hat, took Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan's hands and followed the kitchen worker serving steak to leave the kitchen, and the whole kitchen instantly remembered the sound of lively cheers.
It was a meat-scarce age.
Other domestic servants don't say that they can't eat meat on weekdays, and just being able to eat enough is considered a great gift from the master.
But Chen Xu's house is different, not only is the food tube full every day, but every time no matter what delicious food is made, it will inevitably let everyone in the house taste it, although everyone can't be satisfied with eating, but at least they can taste the unique taste of various delicacies, so the servants in Chen Xu's house go out to brag more than others have capital.
"Spicy snails, I've eaten them, they were made by our Hou Ye himself!"
"Crispy roast duck, I've eaten it, it was made by our Hou Ye himself!"
"Fried stinky tofu, I've eaten it, it's still made by our Hou Ye himself......"
Anyway, if you brag about it, you don't have to make drafts and you don't have to pay taxes, so the treatment of the servants of the Qinghe Marquis Mansion makes many princes and princes envious, jealous and hateful.
Being able to eat the food made by the Marquis of Qinghe himself, not everyone has this blessing, except for the people who opened the Marquis of Qinghe's mansion, there are only a group of people who are closer to Chen Xu, such as Chen Ping Yingbu, such as Xu Fu Zhang Cang, etc.
If anyone dares to ask Chen Xu to cook a meal to satisfy his appetite, it is estimated that he will die a more ugly death.
Because the emperor could not, or was unwilling to do so.
The identity and signboard of the immortal disciple, whether you believe it or not, cannot be easily touched, if anyone wants to suppress people with power, it is estimated that Chen Xu will not need to do it, and he will be slapped to death by Qin Shi Huang directly.
I can't, who in the world dares to let my Aiqing and virtuous son-in-law be my cousins? (https:)
