说明
牛排的熟度:
| 中文熟度 | 英文表达 | 特点说明 |
|---|---|---|
| 一分熟 | rare | 外熟内生,中心几乎全红、温度低 |
| 三分熟 | medium rare | 外熟内红,中心红而温 |
| 五分熟 | medium | 中心粉红略带红,汁多、稍有弹性 |
| 七分熟 | medium well | 微微粉红,较少肉汁,稍干 |
| 全熟 / 十分熟 | well done | 全熟无红色,口感较干,几乎无肉汁 |
如果你要点餐,也可以加上“牛排种类”与“熟度”,例如:
- I’ll have the ribeye, medium.
- Can I get the sirloin steak, cooked medium?
在一般的牛排餐厅(尤其是连锁美式或西式牛排馆),菜单上最常见、最受欢迎的牛排种类通常包括以下几种:
一般牛排餐厅常见牛排种类(中英文对照)
| 牛排种类 | 英文名称 | 常见原因 / 适合人群 |
|---|---|---|
| 西冷牛排 | Sirloin steak | 价格适中,肉质结实,牛味浓,是菜单常客 |
| 肋眼牛排 | Ribeye steak | 油花丰富,口感嫩,多汁,最受欢迎之一 |
| 菲力牛排 | Filet mignon / Tenderloin steak | 极嫩无筋,适合不喜欢油脂的人,价格略高 |
| T骨牛排 | T-bone steak | 视觉震撼,大份,有两种肉,适合“吃肉大户” |
| 板腱牛排 | Flat iron steak | 嫩度高、价格亲民,越来越常见 |
| 牛小排 | Short ribs(烤牛小排) | 有时会做成烧烤式或韩式,适合重口味 |
选择建议:
- 想吃嫩又多汁的:推荐 Ribeye 或 Filet mignon
- 想要丰富口感和牛肉香味:试试 Sirloin、T-bone 或 Porterhouse
- 喜欢硬朗嚼劲:选择 Rump 或 Chuck
- 想一块吃两种口感:选 T-bone 或 Porterhouse
除牛排外,常见搭配或菜单项还包括:
- 配菜:烤马铃薯(baked potato)、奶油菠菜(creamed spinach)、玉米(corn)、蔬菜(steamed veggies)
- 酱料:黑椒酱(black pepper sauce)、蘑菇酱(mushroom sauce)、红酒酱(red wine sauce)
- 选择:熟度(doneness)、是否加黄油(herb butter)、是否加大份量(double cut)
