Dominic caught a whiff of the aroma and immediately turned his head to look at the approaching tray. Although he couldn't see the whole picture, the omnipresent aroma reminded him of its existence.
"Please enjoy." Su Ruoyan placed the tray in front of Dominic.
"Ka."
A crisp sound rang out when the tray touched the table. However, the next moment, he saw the steak on the large azure plate.
The plate was already dark to begin with, so the cold hue shouldn't be a good match for the steaming steak. However, in Dominic's eyes, there was no better color scheme than this.
The steaming steak was sprinkled with black sauce. It wasn't thick, but rather granular and scattered all over the steak.
The steak was medium rare, so although it looked a little charred on the surface, the meat didn't look tough. It looked tender, as if one could poke it in with a single poke.
It looked even more tender under the contrast of the dark plate. Coupled with the green broccoli at the side and the fried egg, it was simply a perfect combination.
"The aroma is refreshing. The black pepper fragrance is rich and intoxicating, and it also has a hint of freshness. It seems to be the smell of lemon. This is my favorite smell. It whips up my appetite." Dominic couldn't help but close his eyes and take a whiff.
He had a natural fondness for the smell of lemon. When he ate many dishes, he liked to add a bit of the sour taste of lemon. As a result, he really liked eating sour food. Compared to sweet food, sour food was his favorite.
Now that he could smell a familiar smell on a piece of steak, Dominic felt as if his mood had soared.
The restaurant was well-prepared to eat steak. Shiny knives, forks, and spoons were placed on both sides of the plate, waiting for anyone to use them. The sharp gleam of the knives and forks indicated that they were definitely not ordinary.
Dominic didn't have the time to observe the knives and forks. He didn't even have the time to pay attention to his nephew. All his attention was focused on the fragrant steak in front of him.
He subconsciously picked up the knife and fork, pressed down on the steak with one hand, and lightly cut it with the knife with the other. Then, the steak parted as if it had a mind of its own, revealing a beautiful cherry red cut surface. The veins were distinct, and there was a hint of blood between the meat. However, it wasn't a very fishy blood color, but a little scorching aroma.
"Medium rare texture, perfect heat control. It's even better than the Toroma and Marisello steaks I've eaten before." Dominic gave this evaluation subconsciously.
Even though he hadn't eaten it yet, the color, aroma, presentation, and color scheme were definitely top-notch.
"Crunch, crunch."
The sound of the knife and fork colliding with the plate rang out. In an instant, the steak was cut into a suitable size by Dominic. Every piece of steak was stained by the sauce evenly. Due to Yuan Zhou's precise control of the heat, even where the beautiful T-bone was stained, the meat was easily cut off, leaving only the bare bones. Not even the fascia was left. From this, one could see how good his control of the heat was.
Dominic took a deep breath and drank a mouthful of water. He planned to rinse his mouth and get rid of the strange smell in his mouth so that he could savor the steak carefully. However, he was immediately amazed by the water.
As the director of the Michelin headquarters in Asia, he was naturally experienced and knowledgeable. He knew the origin of the water as soon as it entered his mouth. "I didn't expect to be able to drink this water here. The quality seems to be much better than in the previous three-star restaurant. How incredible."
"Gulp, gulp."
He couldn't help but drink a few more mouthfuls. When the water was almost empty, Dominic reluctantly put down the cup and focused his gaze on the steak.
Even though some time had passed, the steak still didn't seem to have changed, and the heat was still the same.
He picked up a piece of beef with a fork and put it in his mouth. The first thing he came into contact with was the rich black pepper sauce. The pure taste of black pepper mixed with some spiciness and lemon sourness spread in his mouth. When he bit down, the charred surface of the steak had a rough texture. The rich gravy immediately gushed out with a hint of fishy sweetness unique to beef. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The sauce seeped through the gaps between his teeth, and the slightly milky flavor of the beef immediately became lively and fragrant.
"Crunch, crunch."
Dominic felt that his teeth must have gotten better. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to eat a piece of steak so easily without the sluggishness of eating other steaks.
He wanted the medium-rare steak not because he particularly liked this degree of doneness, but because his teeth weren't very good in the past two years. He could only eat things that were tender, and food that was too hard or dry had basically disappeared from his menu.
However, today's steak made him feel that his teeth were still as young as ever, and he had no problem gnawing on a big bone.
After sweeping the fried egg and the side dishes into his mouth, Dominic only stopped reluctantly. He looked at the bone on the plate and calculated the possibility of this bone being edible.
In the end, for the sake of the supervisor's face, he restrained the wild energy in his body and decided to give up on the tempting idea of biting this bone.
Just as Dominic finished his steak, Sylphy's steamed fish fillet arrived. If it wasn't for the special aroma that stimulated his nose, he would still be immersed in the scene of his uncle eating his steak at lightning speed.
It actually only took three to four minutes for the steak to be served. In these few short minutes, Sylphy felt that his three views, the world, and the world had been reconstructed. For the first time, he realized that his uncle was such an unrestrained person when it came to eating.
"Uncle, is it delicious?" Sylphy blurted out his thoughts as soon as he came back to his senses.
"Of course it's delicious. The perfect heat control, the quality of the steak, and the superb cooking method. It can definitely be said to be the best steak in the world. I think Mr. Touroma and Mr. Maricello have no objections." Dominic said what Touroma and the others were thinking.
"Is it really that delicious?" All of Sylphy's curiosity was piqued.
He shifted his gaze to his own dish and was immediately attracted by its beauty. The fish fillet that was as white as jade seemed to be wrapped in a layer of gauze. Although it could be seen, it was hazy and had a kind of graceful beauty.
The fungus underneath was pure black in color and exquisite in shape. It was as if every flower was a copy of the same size and shape. It was beautiful no matter how he looked at it. Moreover, the fish that was the same size as white jade laid on top of it, adding a touch of color to the dish.
"Hiss … This is too beautiful." Sylphy sucked in a breath of cold air.
At first, he thought that he had seen the world. After all, the height he was at determined the breadth of his vision. But now, Sylphy realized that there really was always someone better than him.
