Chapter 264 Tomahawk Steak, Completed

This dish is still quite expensive on Earth. As for the reason why it's expensive, there's no need to go into any other complicated reasons; the fundamental reason is simply that the production volume is low.

No matter what kind of cow it is, a cow can only produce a maximum of 9 to 10 tomahawk steaks.

Each piece weighs only about 1.5 to 2 kilograms. Compared to the weight of a cow, which is 700 to 1000 kilograms, it would be strange if it weren't expensive.

Scarcity increases value; this is an age-old truth!

Making tomahawk steak really requires patience.

Because of its characteristics, beef is not as easy to tenderize as pork or lamb.

If it's both hard and tough, wouldn't that ruin your own reputation?

Ye Feng would never do such a thing.

He's not going to grill this tomahawk steak today; he'll pan-fry it instead.

Take out the steak that was prepared beforehand; the long ribs look like an axe handle.

The cut of beef at the end of the cut is a full six centimeters thick.

Ye Feng lined up the tomahawk steaks and, with a wave of his hand, enveloped all of them with his spiritual power.

A pot of water had already been boiling on the kitchen stove.

Wrapping it in spiritual energy serves two purposes: firstly, it prevents the beef from absorbing other flavors, and secondly, by avoiding contact with water during boiling, it achieves the same effect as steaming.

The Creation Mirror, 100x acceleration!

After two hours of sous-vide cooking, Ye Feng removed all the steaks from the water.

More than 700 tomahawk steaks were lined up in a row, making for a very spectacular sight.

I picked up the most recent one and took a look.

Two hours of steaming has made the steak tender and bouncy, and the light pink color of the meat makes it look rather cute.

Ye Feng reached out and gently pushed the edge of the flesh, and the entire flesh instantly swayed and rippled.

The kitchen helpers were extremely envious.

However, this is only a semi-finished product, so Ye Feng naturally wouldn't share it with them.

With a gentle tap on the table, all the tomahawk steaks floated into the air. If you looked closely, you could see a frying pan-like shape formed by spiritual energy beneath the steaks.

"All disciples, use the lowest possible firepower for the Fire Control Technique."

After a period of training, these kitchen helpers have made a qualitative leap in their control abilities and are now capable of handling some tasks.

Ye Feng also planned to test whether these disciples, who were being taught from scratch, could actually replicate the effects of his dishes.

So now he basically gives them a lot of opportunities to practice.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yun Ning Shuang and the others simultaneously activated their Fire Control Techniques in perfect unison.

Their synchronized movements were like the burners of a stove.

As the temperature rose, the butter in the spiritual energy frying pan began to melt. Seeing that the time was right, Ye Feng removed a layer of spiritual energy.

The steak, which was suspended above the butter, fell directly onto the magical frying pan.

"Sizzle..."

The moment they made contact, a pleasant sound rang out, and a rich aroma of milk filled the kitchen instantly.

While listening to the sizzling sound of oil, Ye Feng put garlic and rosemary into all the spirit-powered frying pans.

Both rosemary and garlic have a spicy kick, and combining them can create a wider range of flavors.

He used his spiritual power to pinch a piece of steak.

After being pan-fried, the steak's original pink color turned slightly charred.

Tiny oil bubbles still flowed on the steak, making it look incredibly appetizing.

With a wave of his hand, all the steaks, like soldiers receiving orders, instantly did a 180-degree spin.

The buttocks, which were originally charred black, now point upwards, while the front side, which had not yet been fried, begins to be fried.

One thing that must be mentioned when making this kind of thing is the Maillard reaction.

This reaction is between carbonyl compounds (reducing sugars) and amino compounds (amino acids and proteins). Through a complex process, it eventually produces brown or even black macromolecular substances called melanoidins or pseudomelanins, hence it is also known as the carbonyl-amine reaction.

It sounds complicated, but to put it simply, it's about making food burnt and black.

By triggering this reaction through certain operations, the food color can be made more appealing, and hundreds or thousands of intermediate molecules with different aromas will be produced, which greatly enhance the flavor of the ingredients.

Ye Feng wasn't sure what caused the change, but it was all part of quantum mechanics, which he was too lazy to learn.

But he knew how to trigger this change.

That means keeping the temperature in the frying pan between 140 and 160 degrees Celsius.

This is no big deal for him; he can do it with a splash of water.

However, this is somewhat difficult for the disciples of Mount Shu.

They can unleash flames of thousands or even tens of thousands of degrees in no time, but controlling a fire control technique that starts at nearly a thousand degrees to just over 100 degrees is a real test for them.

However, after being exposed to the teachings for so long, these disciples are still capable of doing it, it's just not as easy as it was for Ye Feng.

Watching the changes in the beef inside the spiritual energy frying pan, Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction.

Because the steak is so thick, searing only two sides is far from enough.

Ye Feng would occasionally use his spiritual power to lift up all the steaks and fry them from every angle.

Sensing every subtle change in the steak, Ye Feng swiftly waved his hand when it reached a critical point.

All the steaks were then placed back on the table.

The kitchen helpers were panting heavily, looking exhausted.

Liu Yun, in a very gentlemanly manner, took out a silk handkerchief to wipe Ning Shuang's sweat. Ning Shuang blushed but did not refuse.

The two were so oblivious to everyone else that they were showing off their affection, making the disciples, who were still panting heavily, scream with delight.

Ye Feng grinned and ignored them.

After covering the steak with a spiritual energy shield, they immediately started releasing poison...and smoke.

Since these steaks haven't been exposed to open flame, this step gives them a slightly smoky aroma.

Ye Feng never compromises on color, aroma, and taste.

After being smoked, these super tomahawk steaks are 98% done.

Only the final step remains—slicing and salting.

The Salt Bae on Earth became an internet sensation using this very step.

Ye Feng doesn't need to be famous; he is already one of the top figures in the cultivation world.

Therefore, he won't try anything funny at this stage.

Although his arm was clean, spilling food on it still gave him a sense of desecration.

The tender beef is so easy to cut that even a five-year-old child could do it easily.

You must never cut this kind of steak too thin, otherwise you won't get the satisfying feeling of eating big bites of meat. A thickness of 1 centimeter is just right.

With a slightly charred exterior, the steak encases tender, juicy, pale pink beef. Topped with black pepper and snowflake sea salt, this tomahawk steak is now officially complete.
