无论是出国旅游还是海外学习,享受西方美食一定少不了牛排。牛排有不同的种类,而根据火候的不同其生熟度又有好几个说法。
那么,如何才能在澳洲用英语点到一份称心如意的牛排呢?希望下面的文章能帮到你。
下面先来看一下烹调方式
牛排的烹调方式有煎(Grill)与烤(Roast)。Grill是烤架的意思,将牛排放在炭火上直接加热叫做煎,把牛排放到烤箱里加热叫做烤(Roast)。
牛排烹调的生熟度(Degree of Cooking)
Very Rare:极生,常说的三分熟,煎的(Grill)时间不超过3分钟。外表有烧烤过的痕迹,但里面还是很生,简单地说就是,凉的。切开时还有血水渗出,但是肉质极嫩,口感多汁。
Rare:生,常说的四分熟,煎的时间不超过4分钟。外表有烤焦痕迹,里面肉质呈现原来红色,但入口有热度。切开时还有血水渗出,肉质极嫩,口感多汁。
Medium Rare:中生,常说的五分熟,煎的时间6~8分钟。外表有烧烤过的痕迹,里面已经全面加热,可以感受到相当的热度,不过肉质还是呈现红色。切开时还有稍许血水渗出,但是肉质嫩,口感多汁。
Medium:稍熟,常说的六分熟,煎的时间8~10分钟。外表烧烤呈深褐色,但是里面除了中间部分呈现粉红色外,外围部分都呈现烧烤过的淡褐色。切开时流出褐色肉汁,需要咬上数口才能咽下。
Medium Well:稍熟,常说的七分熟,煎的时间8~10分钟。外表烧烤呈深褐色,里面除了中间部分呈现粉红色外,外围部分呈现烧烤过的淡褐色。切开时流出褐色肉汁,需要咬上数口才能咽下。
Well Done:甚熟,常说的全熟,煎的时间12~15分钟。外表已有明显烤焦痕迹,热度已经渗入整片肉,里面肉色因为高度加热呈现深褐色。咬劲很够才能下咽。
牛排佐料(Accompaniments)
马铃薯:Mashed Potato(马铃薯泥)或Baked Potato(烤马铃薯)、French Fries(马铃薯条),三者择一:马铃薯泥可加肉汁调味;薯条和薯角可涂上少许牛油(Butter )或食盐调味。
蔬菜:一小节煮过的玉米(Corn)、数颗绿色花椰菜(Broccoli)、洋葱(Onion)。
蘑菇:数片小蘑菇(Mushroom)
比较高级的牛排餐佐料会提供海鲜,例如一只龙虾尾、或两只炸明虾,这就是台湾所称的「海陆大餐」(Surf and Turf)或者(Reef and Beef)。
牛排调味料(Condiment)
有许多人吃牛排时喜欢原味,不加任何调味料。但也有人喜欢加一些调味料,冲淡牛排的血腥味。
在一般大众化的牛排馆,都有瓶装牛排酱(Steak Sauce),最有名的两个牌子是A1 Steak Sauce 与Heinz 57 两种。
非大众化的牛排馆供应由厨师自制的牛排酱汁,如蘑菇酱汁(Wild Mushroom Source)或者黑胡椒酱汁(Black Pepper Sauce)。

Guest:I see, so I take you're advice, let's try your Filet Mignon.
Waiter:Thanks, how do you want to your steak cooked? Most guests choose Medium Rare.
Guest:Will it be too rare? I am not used to rare food.
Waiter:Not at all, you will find that is the meat is so tender and juicy.
Guest:I'll try, don't let me down.
