When using a knife, put the end of the handle in the palm of your hand, press your thumb on one side of the handle, press your forefinger on the handle, but be careful that your forefinger never touches the back of the knife, and the other three fingers bend to hold the handle. If the fork doesn't use a knife, the fork teeth should face up. Hold the fork as far as possible at the end of the fork handle, with the fork handle resting on the middle finger and supported by the ring finger and the little finger in the middle. Forks can be used to fork or eat alone, or to eat some starters and pies, or to eat main courses that don't need to be cut.
The use of knives and forks. Knife in right hand, fork in left hand. First hold the food with a fork, then cut it into small pieces with a knife, and then send it into your mouth with a fork. Europeans don't change hands when they use it, that is, they hold a fork in their left hand from cutting vegetables to delivering food. After cutting, the Americans put down the knife and changed their right hand to hold the fork to send the food into their mouth.

Usually, the knife and fork are used together when eating the main course, but if it is not necessary to cut with a knife, you can cut with a fork. Both methods are correct.

Where do I start cutting the steak?
I. History of Steak According to records, the habit of eating beef originated in medieval Europe. Pork and mutton are common people's edible meat, while beef is the high-grade meat of princes and nobles. Noble beef was cooked with pepper and spices, which was also noble at that time. It was eaten on special occasions to show the distinguished status of the owner.
By the18th century, Britain had become a famous beef consumer. Today, the United States is the largest consumer of beef, and steak became the favorite way for Americans to eat as early as the middle of the19th century.
But in Asia, people have two levels of reaction to beef, such as Japan, which can be said to have brought beef to the extreme. Different countries have different attitudes and habits towards beef, so beef is eaten in different ways: the way of eating steak in the United States is rough and unrestrained, and the whole filet mignon is sliced after barbecue; The most talked about is the Roman Buddha jumping wall. After cooking, fry in oil until the surface is golden, and pour in white wine. It is said that such cooking can prevent allergies in summer. For the British, it is still customary to fork a large steak and roast it; French steak pays special attention to the deployment of sauces, and highlights the noble status of steak with various sauces; As for Germans, the way to eat steak is very strange. "Sour beef" is incredible enough to listen to its name, while fresh beef needs courage to try. In Japan, barbecue sauce, a Japanese-style photo commonly used in general barbecue shops, is used on western-style steaks, which makes the breezy sirloin steak have a different flavor ... At present, most steaks popular in ordinary western restaurants in China belong to American flavor II. Classification of steaks: filet mignon, tenderloin, New Yorker steak, T-bone steak, red house steak, rib steak ... These common words on the menu of western restaurants all refer to the location of steak meat and the classification of steak.
The following is a detailed introduction of several common steak varieties: 1, filet mignon: filet mignon is taken from the inner muscle of cattle (that is, tenderloin), with less exercise, the most tender meat and less oily flowers, so it seems that "rare things are more expensive" because each cow has only one piece. Special flavor: Philip steak is tender and lean, but it also lacks gravy and bite, which means it tastes good even if it is not chewed. It looks old and astringent if it is cooked too much. It is recommended for the elderly or children with poor oral cavity and weak digestive ability.
Recommended temperature: medium rare to medium rare. 2. Selection of sirloin steak: sirloin steak generally refers to beef with tender meat and tender oil, which is basically taken from the tender beef on the back of cattle, with different settings and different flavors. The more authentic beef tenderloin is taken from the "tenderloin", but special varieties, such as the New Yorker, are taken from the filet mignon-like tenderloin.
Characteristic flavor: Sirloin steak is tender, sweet and juicy, and full of taste, which is favored by entry-level steak experts. For example, the authentic sirloin is the part where cows seldom exercise. The meat is tender and oily, as beautiful as marble. Compared with Philip's lean meat, a good beef brisket is super tender and fresh, so that diners will marvel at the extreme sweetness of beef at first sight.
The New Yorker, on the other hand, has thick meat fiber, slightly tender and smooth, and the distribution of oil flowers is not so uniform and beautiful, but it is a standard "tender with fragrance" and "sweet with juice", which is quite enjoyable to chew, and its heroic and unique flavor is memorable. Suggested temperature: medium to well done. 3. Rib-eye steak: As the name implies, it is taken from the rib ridge of the cow, that is, the meat on the side of the cow bone.
Special flavor: Rib-eye steak may not be as tender as tenderloin, but "bone-side meat" has always been delicious, and rib-eye steak has this taste. Tender and oily shredded pork is more chewy than brisket, more delicious than filet mignon and rich in oil, which is highly praised by young male diners and affirmed by experts. Suggested temperature: medium to well done. 4.T-bone steak: Special flavor: T-bone or Porthouse steak, with a T-bone in the middle of a big steak, filet mignon on one side and New Yorker steak on the other. The meat is tender, smooth and rough, or oily and refreshing, and you can eat it all by ordering.
Recommended calories: medium to medium. 5. Beef chops are taken from the left and right sides of the cow's chest, including ribs. Characteristic flavor: The steak with bones and tendons is delicious and juicy, chewy and marbles, especially the "Formosa Plastic Steak" cooked with the sixth and seventh ribs of cattle, which is tender but not astringent, cooked but not greasy, and full of meat, which can be enjoyed by even shy diners, creating a unique charm of steak.
Recommended temperature: Fully cooked In addition to the above varieties, there are some common dishes on the table, such as beef tendon at the shoulder blade, rib eye center at the upper shoulder blade, belly meat at the beef abdomen, and upper hind leg meat. Although these parts are coarse in fiber and can't compare with the above varieties, they are cheap, so they are often used as raw materials for entry-level steaks, such as black pepper steaks, which are common in China. Third, the steak is raw, and it is associated with the bloody steak, which shows that there is still misunderstanding about the steak.
Authentic medium-rare steak, no blood juice, only beautiful brown, covered with sweet gravy, absolutely attractive. After the knife is cut, you won't see the trembling bright red, but the dark red like ham sausage. When tasting, just chew it gently, and it will be moist and melt, leaving a sweet aftertaste. In this way, it is "half-cooked"! Note: Identification of beef maturity: medium-rare: it means deep red blood, medium-rare, light red blood, medium-rare, pink blood, well-done and transparent juice. The Chinese term for ordering steak is how less, but the following terms are used in English: Raw is almost raw (but never raw, but it is the internal temperature. ) Rare, rare, rare, rare, rare, rare, rare, rare, rare, rare, rare, rare, rare, rare, rare, rare, rare, rare, rare, rare, rare, rare, rare, rare.
