The woman found a small wooden stool in the corner of the kitchen, seemingly simple but sturdy, and placed it in front of Chen Yi. Her movements were somewhat stiff, but from her eyes, Chen Yi could sense a subtle concern. Gratefully, he obediently sat down, feeling a hint of comfort in his weary and painful body.
The woman then turned around and began to busy herself in the kitchen. She first took garlic, carrots, onions, and mushrooms from a shelf on the wall. Her movements were quick and precise, as if she could complete these tasks in the dark with skill. The blade swiftly slid over the vegetables, making crisp cutting sounds, and each action appeared highly professional.
Next, she turned to the refrigerator, gently pulling open the door and taking out a fresh piece of steak. The meat looked delicate and plump, with a bright color and an enticing natural redness.
The woman then picked up a heavy cast iron pot and placed it on the gas stove, turning the knob and causing the stove to emit a slight hissing sound. The pot quickly heated up, ready to receive the upcoming dish. She took a piece of yellow-orange butter from the nearby shelf, delicately shaving off a piece with the tip of a knife, and skillfully slid it into the hot pot.
When the butter touched the hot pan, it immediately began to sizzle, filling the air with a delightful aroma. She gently stirred the butter with a spatula, ensuring it melted evenly without burning. The fragrance quickly spread through the kitchen, invigorating Chen Yi and increasing his appetite.
He watched the woman skillfully operate the gas stove, her technique professional and clearly not her first time cooking this dish. Every movement she made revealed a love and respect for food. Chen Yi felt a warmth and comfort he had never experienced before, his stomach rumbling in anticipation of the delicious meal soon to be ready.
In the back kitchen, the woman's cooking skills are showcased to perfection. Every movement she makes is precise and rhythmic, as if each flip of the spatula is creating a work of art. As the garlic sizzles in the hot oil, releasing its rich aroma, the entire space seems to be filled with its unique fragrance. Then, she adds the thinly sliced onions into the pot, and they quickly become soft and translucent in the high heat, their aroma combining with the garlic to form a captivating blend of scents.
Next, the woman places a perfect piece of steak into the pot, carefully controlling each side to achieve the ideal sear. As the butter meets the steak, it sizzles and releases a mouthwatering aroma. She skillfully flips the steak with the spatula, ensuring each side evenly absorbs the heat. The golden-brown surface glistens with an enticing sheen, while the meat locks in its essence at high temperatures, remaining tender and juicy.
When the steak is approaching perfection, the woman quickly adds sliced mushrooms to the pot. These mushrooms rapidly absorb the essence of the beef and the aroma of the butter, dancing in the pot with the onions and garlic, creating a rich sensory experience. The woman skillfully adjusts the heat, ensuring that each ingredient reaches its optimal cooking state, allowing the entire dish to achieve a perfect balance of flavors.
Throughout the cooking process, the air in the kitchen is filled with the aromas of various ingredients, intertwining to create an irresistible temptation. Chen Yi sits on the side, his eyes closely following every move of the woman. His nose is fully stimulated by these aromas, and his stomach growls with hunger.
The woman showed a nearly artistic level of focus and precision as she faced the steak in the pan. Her gaze was fixed on the steak sizzling in the hot pan, judging every second of cooking time to ensure the beef reached the perfect level of doneness. As the cooking of the steak neared its end, she skillfully lifted the steak from the pan with tongs and placed it on a nearby plate. Gently poking the steak with her index finger, she seemed quite satisfied with her creation, feeling its elasticity and texture.
Next, the woman cut a small piece of butter and gently placed it into the still-steaming pan, which still held the aroma of the beef. The butter quickly melted at high heat, mixing with the meat juices in the pan, releasing an even richer aroma. Then, she carefully sprinkled a small jar of flour from the shelf into the pan, causing the sauce to quickly thicken, while adding layers of flavor and texture.
The woman then proceeded to ignite a large fire, causing the sauce to rapidly reduce in the pot, resulting in a richer and smoother texture. Once the sauce reached the desired thickness, she promptly turned off the fire and carefully drizzled the sauce evenly over the steak, ensuring that every inch of the meat was covered in this rich sauce.
Finally, she meticulously arranged the sautéed onions, garlic, and mushrooms on the side of the plate as accompaniments. These vegetables not only added color and nutrition to the dish but also enriched the overall texture and flavor. This exquisitely prepared steak, complete with color, aroma, and taste, showcased the woman's professionalism and dedication in every detail.
Chen Yi looked at the exquisite steak in front of him, not only smelling its tempting aroma, but also feeling the passion and care of the mysterious woman. His appetite was thoroughly aroused, and he was full of anticipation for this dish. In this situation, all the fatigue and pain seemed to be temporarily forgotten.
The woman carefully placed the carefully prepared steak in front of Chen Yi, her expression revealing a hint of helplessness and slight impatience, but at the same time she was also concerned about Chen Yi's reaction to her cooking. She handed him a set of knife and fork, indicating that he should start enjoying it.
Chen Yi took the knife and fork, feeling grateful to the woman. He said "thank you" to her with a sincere sense of gratitude and respect in his voice. Carefully, he began to cut the steak with the knife. Although each exertion caused pain in his hand, his desire for the delicious food temporarily made him ignore the discomfort in his body.
The steak, cooked precisely, was tender and juicy. As the knife gently slid through, the juices flowed out, emitting an enticing aroma. Chen Yi carefully placed a piece of the cut steak into his mouth. The tender meat perfectly blended with the rich sauce, filling every bite with satisfaction and happiness.
