As Lucian was reading the information in his mind, the System added the same information to the restaurant's menu.
After Lucian finished reading the information, he licked his lips and heard his stomach rumble.
Even without the information that was implanted into his memories, he already knew how to cook a Sous Vide Filet Mignon.
As a chef and a fan of filet mignon, he had cooked it many times.
However, compared to the rare and almost impossible-to-obtain ingredients for this dish, Chef Lucian had used Mortal, Grade Zero ingredients.
At the end of the day, even Kobe A5 Wagyu, which cost hundreds of dollars, was still a Grade Zero ingredient.
The difference between a Grade Zero ingredient and a Grade One ingredient was like the difference between eating an Eye of Round stake and a Kobe A5 Wagyu Beef.
One was tough and lacked flavor, while the other was rich, buttery, and packed with umami flavor.
They were not comparable in flavor or texture at all!
Although the dish was simple to cook, it relied on two major factors — the type of filet mignon used and the cooking technique — sous vide.
Obviously, the best ingredients would make the best dishes… as long as the chef was competent.
As for sous vide it was a French cooking technique that involved vacuum sealing food in a bag. In Lucian's case, vacuum sealing a filet mignon in a bag and then cooking it in a water bath for a long period of time at a low temperature.
In Lucian's opinion, this method was one of the best because it ensured the food would cook evenly and perfectly. As long as the temperature and the time the food was cooked were correct, the food would never be undercooked or overcooked.
The results that you get from sous vide could not be achieved with other methods.
