Volume 2 I'm a Little Crazy Chapter 96 Wellington Steak

Previous Chapter

Today's cooking is also a test for Gu Bai to a certain extent, whether he is qualified to teach them and lead them to compete for the top three or even the championship depends on whether this steak can meet the standard.

And Kaisha's thoughts, of course Gu Bai understood, he had seen too many people who were discouraged from this kind of before, and he didn't take it to heart.

"The ingredients for this Wellington steak are actually very simple, don't think too complicated. The main dish is duxelle, or sautéed mushrooms, with smoked ham, puff pastry, and a dash of mustard and thyme. ”

"Doesn't sound like the ingredients are complicated, right? Kai'Sa is going to teach you this cooking, and I think you have more experience in judging the heat and meat quality."

"Seems to be okay, just three main ingredients," Kai'Sa nodded.

"First of all, the mille-feuille puff pastry, some people like to make their own puff pastry for their Wellington steak, which is nothing more than a butter rolling dough process. You also tasted it just now, and the thin crispiness of the mille-feuille puff pastry is the first intuitive feeling after entering the mouth. ”

Gu Bai said, picked up the butter and heated it to melt, and added flour "1 to 1 ratio of high-gluten flour and basten flour"

Knead the dough, wrap Gu Bai in a layer of plastic wrap, and put it in the refrigerator to "remember the time, refrigerate for an hour"

"This hour is spent processing the steak, and the steak program team provides high-quality filet mignon, which is beef tenderloin with a certain thickness, uniform fat, delicate meat, no bones and marble, and is undoubtedly super delicious after roasting."

Gu Bai tied the loin with hemp rope, picked up the spoon and slapped the back of the steak lightly, "Beat it evenly and hard, let the steak spread out, and add salt and pepper to taste"

Then Gu Bai heated the pan at high temperature, coated it with a layer of olive oil, and put the steak in the pan when it was about to smoke. Grill the tenderloin until crispy until all parts including the tail are browned, about 2 minutes on each side"

Kai'Sa looked carefully, the color of almost every side of Gu Bai remained the same, and as it heated, the fat of the olive oil and steak became rich and attractive in the smoke.

Gu Bai transferred the steak to a plate, cut the twine, and then coated the surface of the tenderloin with mustard, no more than 2 teaspoons. Alleviate oiliness while adding a layer of complexity to the finished steak and highlight the layering"

"Then fry the mushrooms, the mushrooms, shallots, and thyme are chopped, the pieces of mushrooms are relatively large and flavorful, the oil in the pan just now is just right, the mushrooms inhale the flavor of the beef tenderloin in the oil, add some butter and cook for 25 minutes over medium heat."

Gu Bai turned his head to Kai Sha while cooking, "Remember the time I said, don't try to speed up any cooking process, and cook as much water as possible, otherwise the mushrooms will easily lose water and dry out, stick to the surface of the steak, and lose the tendon of the dough." ”

Kai'Sa hurriedly asks Michelle to take notes on paper, and Michelle swallows. Since eating all kinds of lobsters made by Gu Bai last week, Michelle feels that what he usually eats is simply described as feed, and the rich aroma of the steak makes him hungry.

"Then there's the smoked ham, which wraps the loin from the outside, providing a moisture-resistant barrier, and the smoky texture adds another layer to the steak, with..."

Gu Bai was about to continue to speak, when Kana Suzudai's voice came from outside the door, "My brother is teaching cooking, it's inconvenient to disturb"

Who will it be, Gu Bai frowned, "Michelle, you go and open the door."

and let them in"

As soon as the door opened, a teenager rushed in and shouted, "Gu Bai, what did you do to Ron yesterday!" ”

Michelle stopped beside Gu Bai first, and said with a dissatisfied expression, "Who are you, what are you yelling about!" ”

After Gu Bai heard it, he already understood, "Don't make noise, wait until the cooking is done, otherwise you will go out." ”

"You..."

The boy was about to speak, when another person came in from outside the door and said, "What are you, don't you know how to keep quiet while cooking as a chef?" ”

"Luo. Robert! The boy swallowed a mouthful of saliva and fell silent.

Gu Bai didn't raise his head, and his mind was still focused on the ham in his hand, "spread it out in a rectangle enough to cover the entire tenderloin, and then evenly coat the duxelles mushroom sauce that was fried earlier"

As he spoke, Gu Bai put the tenderloin at the bottom of the smoked ham, rolled the meat tightly with plastic wrap, stuffed it on both sides and sealed it and put it in the refrigerator.

After doing this step, Gu Bai looked at the time, "Refrigeration is to shape the Wellington steak, and vision is always a part that cannot be ignored, affecting the first sense of diners." The puff pastry was 10 minutes to 1 hour and the steak was almost refrigerated"

Gu Bai turned around, and Kana Suzushiro stuck out her tongue, "I'm sorry brother, they all have to come in"

"What's the matter? Ten minutes."

"What did you do to Ron yesterday! He's hospitalized! The boy clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

"What did the doctor say," Gu Bai asked calmly

"Mentally stimulated, mildly depressed"

Hearing this, Michelle was a little speechless and said, "Isn't it just autism?"

On the other side, Robert, who was wearing a chef's uniform, stepped forward, "You are Gu Bai?" My father mentioned you yesterday and said that you are very good at knife work, and that you are not under me. ”

Gu Bai was stunned: "Your father?" ”

"Officially, Robert. My dad was yesterday you and Ron's judge Logan, a two-Michelin-starred chef."

Saying that, Robert stepped forward with a smile and gave Gu Bai a hug with gentlemanly manners.

Hearing Robert's tone, the young man, who was still thinking about how to refute, was dumbfounded and muttered, "Not under Robert.. Doesn't that mean that it has a level close to the Michelin assessment... How is this possible?"

"Huaxia Gu Bai, it's a pleasure to meet you"

"Chef still has 3 minutes," Kai'Sa looked at his watch and reminded Gu Bai and said

Robert motioned for Gu Bai to handle the steak first, "A portion of Wellington steak is huge, don't you mind if I share one?" ”

"No problem, so is the young man, the visitor is a guest"

"Wait, I'm no match for you, but someone will find it in the Klomy Academy," the boy said, turning to leave.

Robert thought for a while and said, "There are still two brushes in the Clomi Academy, and I am because I have my father's guidance, otherwise I should also study in the Clomy Academy." ”

Gu Bai shrugged.

"Don't worry, my father asked me to tell you that Saiga and Karns are a little different, and what you did yesterday may happen to you."

This is the purpose of Robert's coming today, although he didn't understand what his father meant, he met Gu Bai, and the words were brought to him.

Gu Bai was taken aback, he was already very careful yesterday, and the heart of Shura was only released for a moment

has been noticed by Logan. Logan, as a two-Michelin-starred chef, may have stepped into the realm of the soul of the chef, but he has done it himself.

Gu Bai preheats the oven "Kai'Sa remember to preheat the temperature to 425°C, sprinkle some flour on the cutting board, spread out the puff pastry, put the tenderloin, and then brush the edges of the puff pastry with egg wash and roll it tightly. ”

"Cool again for another twenty minutes to set the shape, then bake until golden."

——

Robert watched Gu Bai take out the golden-skinned Wellington steak from the oven and nodded, this Wellington steak can already be served in Michelin-starred restaurants, and there is still a gap between it and what he made, but Gu Bai is Chinese after all, and it is understandable that steak is less of an American daily dish.

Gu Bai picked up the bread knife, "Here you must use a bread knife with serrated teeth, a piece of steak with a thickness of 2-3cm, and a knife down the top to ensure that the steak is tight"

As Gu Baidao's light went down, the peach-colored tenderloin emerged from the puff pastry, and the fat wrapped in the puff pastry was mixed with the essence of fried mushrooms and air-dried ham, and the fragrance came to the face again and again, compared to the Wellington steak that Gu Bai brought in the morning before, the color of the freshly cooked one was bright, and the aroma of beef overflowed the entire room, making people can't help but have their appetite mobilized.

When Michelle and others saw this scene, they couldn't help but applaud.

Gu Bai put the cut steaks on the plate one by one and distributed them to everyone, "Kaisha, observe carefully before eating, recall what I taught, the rest of the time the kitchen will be yours, if you can't make steaks at this level, it will be difficult to pass tomorrow's exam." ”

"Hey.. It's so delicious! Sure enough, the steak still has to be freshly baked, and it will affect the taste if it is cold."

"The mustard smell is very light, but it still stimulates saliva and can't stop flowing out"

"The puff pastry and steak seem to melt in your mouth, and the mushroom cubes give you the happiness of squeezing out the gravy when you bite into it."

"This is Wellington steak, it's not that you can't eat this kind of high-end cuisine if you don't participate in the show!"

Gu Bai sat on the chair, thinking more about what Robert brought just now, his expression was a little cold, it would happen to me, I want to see what to say.

Robert tasted the steak piece by piece, "Gu Bai, the system of this round of Million Chefs has been changed, do you know?" ”

"Huh?" Gu Bai really didn't pay attention

"I heard that it was because of the shooting of the venue, and I wanted to give more shots to each contestant, so it was divided into two days. The remaining 24 people are divided into two groups, A and B, and the top two in each group will advance, and A1 will do this for B2."

"It's a good thing for Kaisha, you guys have lost half of your opponents in this round," Gu Bai analyzed

Robert continued, "Didn't you read the official news, in order to compensate for the change in the competition format, Million Chefs launched more exciting news to attract attention, and after this round, the mentors of the 4 finalists will also have a round of entertainment competition to show the charm of cooking"

"Why do you still say this, that is, I will be at the scene tomorrow" Gu Bai was a little crying and laughing.

"That's right. You are in Group B, I am in Group A, as long as the rankings are different, you will have the opportunity to ask Gu Bai about your cooking skills," Robert said.

"I believe that Kai'Sa will enter the top two" Gu Bai was a little relieved to see that Kai'Sa had silently started cooking.

"Then I'll see you on the field tomorrow," Robert said goodbye to Gu Bai and returned to his teaching room.
