Chapter 1054 - 434: A Foodie Can Suffer, but You Can’t Take My Pot Roasted Elbow!
Lin Xu originally wasn’t interested in this kind of raw meat.
But seeing Lao Huang eat like that, he ended up craving it too.
He went back to the kitchen and made himself a portion, added egg yolk, and stirred it evenly with a fork, coating the meat pieces with egg yolk liquid. Then he scooped up a spoonful and put it in his mouth.
The beef had been chilled before, so there was a slight coolness on entry.
Next came the sticky texture of the egg yolk liquid and the unique sour taste of pickled cucumbers.
This flavor was appetizing and satisfying. Besides the taste of pickled cucumbers, you could also taste the slightly pungent aroma of parsley and the crunchy texture of onions.
After chewing a bit, the tender and fresh flavor of the beef blossomed in his mouth.
As expected of A5 Wagyu beef, it was fresh and tender to chew without any fiber noticeable, and while chewing, you could taste the rich feeling of the fat in the Wagyu.
This sensation not only made the beef texture more charming but also subdued the flavors of pickled cucumber and other ingredients, letting the fresh aroma and taste of the beef linger in the mouth.
No wonder Lao Huang said the texture was like ice cream; this Beef Tartare indeed bore some resemblance.
"Boss, does this raw beef taste good? It looks kinda scary..."
While he was eating, Zhu Yong leaned over to take a look, wanting to try it but hesitating to overcome the psychological barrier.
Lin Xu’s portion wasn’t large, and he finished the beef on the plate in a few bites, laughing:
"The taste is nice, but if you can’t get over this psychological barrier, then forget it... I found this Western dining mold quite useful; a small meat patty like this is just right when finished."
The iron ring is about seven or eight centimeters in diameter, three centimeters in height. An egg yolk placed on top can basically cover the meat patty. Stir evenly, and you can finish it in a few bites.
The first bite tastes pretty good, and he thinks he has to have another later.
But after finishing it, he feels having more might be a bit cloying.
Beef Tartare is an important appetizer in Western cuisine, meant to whet the appetite and prepare for the main course.
No wonder Lao Huang ate so extravagantly without wanting a second serving; possibly like himself, finding one portion was just right.
Lin Xu placed the plate in the sink, preparing to make a portion for Shu Yun to let this beautiful store manager experience some French dining indulgence.
Zhu Yong, seeing this, gathered courage and said:
"Boss, could you make one for me too?"
"Are you sure? You won’t eat and puke, right? This Wagyu costs four digits per pound; puking one mouthful is worth dozens or hundreds."
Upon hearing how expensive it is, Zhu Yong promptly said:
"Then not trying would be a shame, make me a portion; if it tastes good, I’ll lick the plate clean."
Lin Xu laughed and said:
"You’re good with seafood, have you had sashimi? It’s about the same, highlighting that sour, fragrant, refreshing, slightly spicy feeling."
The Yellow Lantern hot sauce inside is quite distinctive, offering a slight spiciness but not overly spicy, removing much of the Wagyu’s greasy feeling.
He made two portions, one handed to Zhu Yong and another prepared for Shu Yun.
Leaving the kitchen, Lin Xu looked at Lao Huang, who was satisfied, taking photos of the empty plate, and asked:
"How was it? Tasty enough?"
"Superb! I’ve decided; I’ll come every day to eat a portion of Beef Tartare to sate this meat craving."
Lin Xu said:
"Next time you can switch to average quality beef; eating this A5 Wagyu too much will get tiring since Wagyu has relatively high fat content... besides beef, you could try tuna and such."
"Yes, yes, Lin Brother reminded me well; we shouldn’t be limited to just beef. High-end venison is also good; plus, the Germans are crazy about it."
Lin Xu didn’t expect Lao Huang to be so obsessed with eating raw meat, and he warned:
"Eating is fine, but make sure to buy sterile meat, or you’ll end up with some parasites, which would be bad."
"Don’t worry; regarding food safety, I’ve got it under control."
Going downstairs, Lin Xu placed the plate in front of Shu Yun:
"The taste is nice; I just ate a portion and even feel a bit unsatisfied."
Upon hearing this, Shu Yun immediately used her phone to take a photo, sending it to the group ’Good Sisters Bra Cup Won’t Shrink’:
"Today’s self-challenge: Beef Tartare made with A5 Wagyu, starting my fat reduction journey!"
Right after posting, Xiao Qing, who was on a business trip with Yan Lin in Yangcheng, sent a drooling emoji:
"Wow, this beef looks amazing; was it made in your shop?"
Shu Yun was surprised as this is raw meat; shouldn’t you guys be shocked?
Why do you look like you’ve seen a delicacy?
She replied:
"Our boss made it; he just ate a portion and said it tastes amazing, so I also want to try it but can’t get past the psychological barrier."
Xiao Qing sent a jealous emoji:
"If you don’t want to eat it, let me do it; I love this kind of deliciousness, it can make you drool... I have to save the photo and hint to my boss later."
Chen Yan also commented in the group: 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Making Beef Tartare with A5 is somewhat extravagant, though the taste should be excellent. If not for the fact I just had a nutritious shrimp salad for fat reduction this morning, I’d definitely go to the shop for a portion."
Hmm, finally eating a low-fat salad, definitely need to let everyone in the group know.
To stop people from calling her Fat Yan all the time.
Shu Yun: ?????
Another one who’s unfazed.
Since everyone says it’s good, she gathered courage, mixed the egg yolk evenly with a fork, and scooped up a bite to put in her mouth.
