新正頭親朋戚友拜年到訪,不妨親自下廚,以拿手小菜款待客人。九龍酒店龍逸軒大廚蔡劍坤師傅今次教大家製作牛尾煲,特別以粵菜常用調味料柱侯醬燜製,色澤啡紅,賣相富新春氣息,加上肉味香濃、醬汁惹味,佐飯一流!
食材走油 不易煮爛
很多人怕牛尾的羶味,因此蔡師傅特別選用美國入口的急凍牛尾,取其件頭較大,肉質軟腍,羶味也較中國牛尾淡,不用汆水,直接「走油」略炸,炒香燜煮即可。蔡師傅建議,牛尾及配菜可先略炸,食材會較「實淨」挺身,經長時間烹調也不易煮爛,賣相更佳。很多家庭主婦認為「走油」不健康,其實秘訣在於油溫要夠高,炸出來的食物才會乾爽,如果油不夠熱,炸物就會「油淰淰」,只要謹記這個小秘訣,製作美味可口的廣東菜,絕非難事。
廣東菜一向重視食材的原味,也講究醬料的運用,以帶出富層次感的食味。在眾多粵菜醬汁中,蔡師傅很喜歡柱侯醬。這種濃味的醬料源於佛山,有着悠久歷史,原本是一種煮牛腩、牛雜的汁料,後來普及至全廣東,製作其他菜式。柱侯醬以大豆、麵粉、蒜蓉、生抽、八角等製成,跟濃味的肉類如牛、豬、鴨及鵝等,非常匹配。柱侯醬要用蒜頭爆香,才能突出其香氣,之後放牛尾炒勻,加上湯燜煮,醬汁濃味滲入牛尾肌理,分外惹味可口。
