Chapter 222: Grilled Steak
Ever since traveling through time, An Qiao hasn't eaten steak for a long time. She has even drunk wine, but she still lacks a piece of steak.
If nothing unexpected happens, this steak will be unique to Anqiao.
When they returned to the restaurant, everyone was shocked to see An Qiao bought a bunch of beef after buying seasonings.
"Young lady, are you robbing a butcher shop?" Qiufen was amazed.
"No, this smell is clearly beef. Girl, where did you buy so much beef?" Lixia was very keen to discover that it was not pork.
"What!? Beef! I have beef jerky to eat again." The Autumnal Equinox is the happiest day. Apart from anything else, the young lady really likes everything she cooks. This beef jerky is a good tooth grind. When I have nothing to do every day, I can take a piece and eat it for the whole afternoon.
"You only know how to eat. Look at you, Plague, you haven't worked for two months! How much weight have you gained?" Lixia couldn't help but tease.
Lidong immediately started describing what happened today in vivid detail.
Everyone came forward to carry the beef while chatting.
"Today I'm going to make something delicious for everyone. It's definitely something you've never eaten before." An Qiao smiled and began to pick out the parts that could be made into steak.
The meat that can be made into steak generally includes rib-eye, front loin, top loin, tenderloin, cowboy ribs...
In fact, An Qiao was not quite sure. Although she had specifically told the chef to leave those pieces when slaughtering the meat, now that the meat was laid out together, it was a little hard to tell them apart.
After finally picking out the meat, everyone watched the young lady carrying the meat directly to the kitchen, and they were all confused. When An Qiao left, she emphasized, "Help me take all the meat I picked out to the kitchen. You are in for a treat tonight, so just enjoy it secretly."
"Young lady, you took so much meat, is it really all for us to eat?" Even Qiufen, who loved meat the most, was stunned.
"There's so much meat...what to do with the rest?" Lidong was also stunned.
It was Lixia who said, "Whatever the young lady wants to do, she must move to the backyard first."
Everyone followed Lixia's instructions and carried the meat to the backyard.
Although An Qiao moved a large piece of meat, she didn't want to roast it all. She wanted to try a little bit of each part.
This kind of person just arrived at the kitchen and saw An Qiao rummaging through the drawers looking for something.
"Young lady, what are you looking for?" Lixia and Lidong are in the kitchen every day and are familiar with the kitchen utensils.
An Qiao pointed at the beef and said, "Where's my small pan? I want to use it to fry the steak."
Lixia stood at the door, opened the door with a puzzled look on her face, opened the cabinet with a puzzled look on her face, and asked Anqiao with a puzzled look, "Are you looking for this, young lady?"
An Qiao???
It's so far away and yet so close at hand.
An Qiao first sliced the meat into appropriate sizes and gently pressed with paper to remove the blood. One person could not handle so many steaks, so An Qiao called Lixia and Lidong to help wipe the blood off the steaks.
Lixia remembered that Anqiao had almost always asked her to wash with water before, so she asked in confusion, "Young lady, don't you need to wash with water?"
An Qiao shook her head. "If the steak absorbs water, it won't taste good. We can't wash it this time."
Lixia and Li Dong nodded, not quite understanding, and continued to wipe the water off the steaks.
Sprinkle black pepper, salt and oil on both sides of the rubbed steak and massage evenly to rub it into the flavor. Continue rubbing each piece of steak.
Because she hadn't eaten lunch, An Qiao thought the smell was so delicious and couldn't help but recall every time she had eaten steak before.
I started swallowing unconsciously.
"Young lady, are you so hungry? It's not even evening yet. How about I make something for you first?" Lixia asked cautiously. It was the first time she saw An Qiao like this and she was afraid that she was hungry.
An Qiao waved her hands and concentrated on kneading the steak in front of her.
All she could think about was how delicious the steak was, and she couldn't eat anything else.
Although it was not time for dinner yet, it was not that we couldn't eat. Besides, Dongzhi and Qitao didn't eat much at noon.
"Is there anyone who can eat it? I will make it now for those who can, and I will make it later for those who can't." An Qiao gestured to Lidong to go and ask.
Lidong immediately put down the work in his hands and went out to ask. Some of the people outside were still arranging the seasonings, while others were still doing the final finishing work.
"The young lady has already started making new food. Do you want to eat it now? The young lady said that if you don’t want to eat it now, I will make it for you in the evening." Lidong was still holding the paper to wipe the blood in his hand.
Some people say they want to eat now, others are still hesitating, but when they think about the fragrant aroma that will be filling the restaurant in a while, they have no choice but to decide.
"Let's eat now. If some of you eat and some don't, you will definitely be very hungry." Lidong suggested as he looked at everyone's hesitation.
Everyone has been busy cleaning recently. Although it seems that there is not much work, there are only so many people and it is not easy to clean the house inside and out. They have to buy seasonings and organize the warehouse. Now, even though it is still some time before nightfall, they are already very hungry.
Taking advantage of this time, Anqiao made a butter substitute, using the avocado, banana, corn oil, coconut oil bought in the morning, and a little yogurt residue, mixed in a 1:1 ratio into a bowl.
This was something she had accidentally seen in a food magazine in her previous life. She had thought that she would never use it, but now she was using it.
"My dear, everyone says they want to eat." Lidong's crisp voice came, and An Qiao nodded. It would be best if everyone could eat, so as to avoid the trouble of coming again and again.
An Qiao originally wanted to choose the degree of doneness according to the different parts of the beef, but then she thought that no one eats raw or cold food, and was afraid that the beef would get an upset stomach again, and she had to open for business as usual tomorrow.
So I tentatively chose 70% done.
Heat the pan over high heat, add a little oil, then put the steak in and fry each side for about 180 seconds. Since there is no stopwatch, the people around you don't know how long 180 seconds is, so they can only do it themselves. Then seal the edges for another 40 seconds.
Set a small pot aside and add the butter substitute, rosemary, and garlic.
Use a spoon to continue pouring the melted butter substitute on the steak, and then put it on a plate to let it rest. Finally, use the remaining fat in the pan to fry the side dishes. An Qiao prepared onions and cherry tomatoes.
In fact, when Anqiao started frying, the smell was already overwhelming. Not to mention the shocking sound brought by the sizzling of the steak in the pan, many people outside could not help but gather around the window in front of the kitchen.
"What is this? Why does it smell so good?"
Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath, which made An Qiao laugh and cry.
"You can only come one at a time. You guys discuss the order first." There was only a little bit in the small pot, and An Qiao couldn't finish several steaks at the same time, so it was natural that everyone could only line up.
