Many Chinese people are still unfamiliar with the concept of "aging". Shouldn't meat be eaten fresh? Why should meat be left to rot before eating? In fact, rottenness and aging are two different things. Aging is a method of processing meat by continuously decomposing, expelling acid and fermenting and degrading it, which makes meat more flavorful. Most meats, such as beef, mutton, poultry and fish, will appear in a state of rigor mortis when the body just dies (note that it is not a zombie). After rigor mortis, a series of decomposition and transformation will begin. If this process is not handled properly and is invaded by harmful bacteria such as mold, it will become a hopelessly rotten meat. However, under constant temperature and humidity conditions, the aging of beef will bring a kind of Midas touch to beef. There is a saying that ancient Europeans secretly put beef in a basket and hid it in a dry well. Originally, it was to prevent people from discovering their private meat, but they accidentally discovered that the dry well had a constant temperature and humidity. In the absence of insects and harmful bacteria and the action of high concentrations of carbon dioxide, the meat became more and more delicious. It is said that this is the origin of aging. Generally speaking, aging is divided into two major schools. The simpler wet aging method is to seal the meat in a fresh-keeping bag and put it in water for continuous aging. This kind of aged beef tastes slightly sour and has a metallic aroma, and the price is relatively cheap; while dry aging is much more complicated. Not only does it require constant temperature and humidity conditions, but it also requires time marking. Over time, the meat is constantly dehydrated and air-dried. Generally speaking, dry aging takes more than one month, at which time the weight of the meat has been reduced by 30%, so the price of dry aging is very expensive. Some European Michelin restaurants will also launch top-grade beef that has been aged for more than half a year, which is very expensive. The Japanese, who are good at raising cattle and also good at learning from the Western world, have pushed the aging of wagyu to the extreme. They have made beef that has been aged for more than a few years, and it is said that the price can be described as jaw-dropping. Why do people spend so much effort to age beef? If you understand the difference between ham and pork, you can probably understand the difference between dry-aged beef and fresh beef. The dry-aged beef has a different taste. It not only has the aroma of cheese, but also some nutty flavor. The meat is softer and more delicious. Therefore, despite its high price, it is highly praised by gourmets. Because I didn't pay much attention to beef before, I didn't pay much attention to eating aged beef in European Michelin restaurants. That time at the Poly InterContinental Hotel in Guangzhou, I communicated with Master Zhong, who was in charge of steak. Master Zhong introduced that aged beef generally chooses muscle tissue with less fat, mainly to prevent the uncertainty of fat during the aging process. The aged beef in the Qia restaurant is completed by itself. Not only is the temperature and humidity constant, but also ultraviolet rays and other sterilization effects are also maintained. In order to promote the aged beef, Master Zhong also soaked the beef in whiskey before aging, so that everyone can taste this aged beef with whiskey flavor. The set meal includes several wines specially recommended by the sommelier. The attentive Master Zhong also puts a piece of fresh steak next to the aged steak. There is no harm without comparison. I found that it is difficult to compare again.
