Chapter 312: Cross-legged Beef
"Do you have a slightly thawed tenderloin? Give me a piece!"

"Excuse me, uncle. Our store only has fresh beef bones and beef, which we purchase from the market every morning. We don't have..."

"Don't brag, I tasted the taste of the freezer layer in the soup just now!"

boss:"……"

Well, luckily there were no customers in the kitchen. The owner of the Xue Nong Soup Shop shamelessly took out a piece of beef tenderloin that had just been put into the freezer: "This is what I'm going to take home..."

Just give it to me, why are you talking so much nonsense to save face?

Shen Lang took the beef tenderloin and smelled it. It was quite fresh. Hmm, he put it on the chopping board and made the first cut in front of everyone.

Why choose slightly frozen beef tenderloin?

That’s because the dish Shen Lang prepared was braised beef with crossed legs.

This dish requires slicing the beef tenderloin into thin slices, marinating it and then cooking it in a pan.

Therefore, the key is whether the slices can fully absorb the marinade and have the taste of beef fibers.

Frozen beef is easier to slice thinly.

There's nothing profound about it, but everyone at the scene couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Shen Lang trimmed off the ugly edges and corners, and then sliced ​​the whole piece of beef tenderloin into thin slices at an incredible speed.

Zheng Junhe was surprised and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Shen's knife skills to be so good. Since I joined this program, I have visited countless restaurant kitchens and met many Michelin chefs, but Mr. Shen's knife skills are the best I have ever seen!"

Several chefs in the kitchen of the Snow Nong Soup Restaurant looked at Shen Lang, who was quick, accurate and ruthless in cutting meat, and was able to slice even slices of meat with every cut. Their eyes were filled with disbelief. Could this be a challenge from the restaurant next door?
Not really, he's too handsome...

Because part of the kitchen wall of this soup restaurant is made of glass, when the camera turned to the glass wall partition, it could be seen that the outside was crowded with customers watching the fun.

"I've only seen this kind of knife skills on TV!"

"He's handsome and can cook. Compared to him, our Korean men are so inferior!"

"It is said that there is a serious conflict between men and women in our country. The media puts the blame on our female boxers. Is it really so? If there is such an excellent man, I am willing to give birth to as many children as he wants!"

"Look, look, he's started pickling!"

Shen Lang wanted to prepare the seasoning. He first put the scallion, ginger, a small spoonful of soda and a few spoonfuls of water in a bowl, and then squeezed out the scallion and ginger juice.

Then add salt and pepper to the beef slices, and then pour the onion and ginger water into the beef slices in small amounts several times.

After the onion and ginger water is absorbed into the beef by Shen Lang, add the egg white and mix evenly.

Finally, add starch and mix well.

Zheng Junhe was stunned.

"The processing of raw materials is so complicated. I guess this dish must be a delicacy that only the bigwigs in China can taste, right?"

"Beef is acidic, and adding edible alkali is used to achieve acid-base balance and tenderize the meat. This is definitely not a star, this is a professional gourmet!" Several chefs from the Xue Nong Soup Restaurant looked at each other, feeling the pressure from their neighboring country.

After the meat was marinated in the bowl for a while, Shen Lang poured water, scallions, and ginger slices into the pot. Then, he used his body to block a group of Korean chefs and searched in the seasoning area for a long time. Finally, he pouted and said, "You are a shop specializing in soup, but there are so few Chinese herbs in the seasoning?"

"Ahem, what do you need?" Zheng Junhe asked quickly.

Shen Lang waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it. There are more than a dozen ingredients missing. How can we get them all in a short time? Let's just make do with it!"

"But why add herbs to the soup?" the owner of Xue Nong Soup Shop questioned, "Wouldn't it be better to eat the original flavor of the ingredients?"

Everyone present nodded!

Haha, I just like the way you guys seem to have never seen the world.

"Do you know what food supplements are?"

“Some Chinese herbs not only do not destroy the original nature of the ingredients, but also make the meat more tender and the soup more delicious!”

“Which ones are they?”

"Deal with specific problems specifically!"

"Well, what about this dish? What specific ingredients are needed?" The owner of the Xuenong Soup Shop looked at Shen Lang expectantly.

"Ah, haha, the soup is ready, time to add the beef!"

boss:"……"

chef::"………………"

Zheng Junhe: “…………………………”

……

At this time, Shen Lang opened the lid, took the seasoning bag out of the pot, wrapped it with kitchen paper and put it in his pocket. Boss: "..."

chef:"……"

Zheng Junhe: “………………”

"Haha, this is our family's ancestral craft. Sorry, it's passed down to daughters but not sons!"

As soon as the lid of the pot was opened, a faint herbal fragrance instantly made people around pick up their noses.

“What a refreshing smell.”

"very special!"

“I wonder what it will taste like after adding beef!”

"look forward to!"

Shen Lang did not keep everyone waiting for long. He took out a piece of beef and unfolded it under the light. The bright red beef looked like Chef Xiao's fried rice under the light and was almost shining.

Moreover, the beef slices were thin and large, making the diners outside the window drool instantly.

"Such a large piece, if you blanch it in the pan, it will definitely be tender and fragrant. The key is that it is really delicious!"

"I really want to eat it. I wonder if Oppa will let us taste it after he makes it!"

"His knife skills are so impressive. Was this handsome oppa a Michelin chef in the past?"

……

Shen Lang seemed very satisfied with his knife skills. He nodded, grabbed the meat slices and put them into the pot and turned the heat to low. Then he poured in the thinly sliced ​​radish and cabbage that had been blanched in advance.

Sprinkle a handful of coriander before serving... done.

At this point, everyone at the scene couldn't wait any longer.

A rich fragrance assaulted everyone's sense of smell.

The aroma of meat and herbs unreasonably suppressed the taste of the thick snow soup in the kitchen.

When Shen Lang served the beef in small bowls, the beef was still white with a hint of red, almost making everyone drool.

The camera had already given a close-up, and a bowl of delicious and fragrant beef with red and black legs came out of the pot under the steam.

"Come on, Suruga, try it first!" Shen Lang invited.

Zheng Junhe almost shed tears for a moment: "It's such an honor, Teacher Shen, I won't be polite then."

He picked up the bowl and, amid everyone's envious and expectant gazes, carefully sipped the soup as if it were a work of art.

Instantly, the taste of pepper and various herbal ingredients fills the mouth.

But the next second, the delicious taste of the beef caught up and immediately covered up all the flavors of the seasonings.

It was so delicious. Zheng Junhe's eyes narrowed slightly, and the whole person seemed to be sublimated by the delicious food in an instant.

"Teacher Zheng, eat some meat! Eat some meat quickly!"

"Oh, yes, yes!" Zheng Junhe was instantly brought back to reality and picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

The thin but large piece of beef filled his mouth in an instant.

Chew lightly.

"Oh my God! How did he do it? The meat is tender, but you can still taste the texture of beef! With the help of the marinade and the soup, this bite of beef is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in the world! This must be something that only the emperors of ancient China can enjoy, right?"

Shen Lang: "Oh, a long time ago, the boatmen and trackers in Sichuan Province of our country ate this. It was very common and everyone ate it!"

Zheng Junhe and everyone: "………………"

After a while, he finished the whole bowl, but Zheng Junhe's eyes were still on the remaining dozen or so portions.

"Is it delicious, Teacher Zheng?" the diners leaning against the window asked impatiently.

Zheng Junhe turned his head blankly, until he saw the expectant eyes of the diners, he realized that he was not in a Michelin restaurant, but was filming a TV program. He exclaimed: "Believe me, this is one of the best beef dishes I have ever eaten! Top-notch delicacy, Mr. Shen, if you open a restaurant in our country, your business will definitely be booming!"

"Quick, give us a taste too!"

"I'll pay, give me a bowl!"

"Boss, put down the bowl in your hand, it's shameful, Oppa made that for me, the little princess!"

"Don't push, don't push! Oh, haha, I got a bowl!"
