episode_0052

Immediately after meeting the fourth hero, Rinne.

After confirming that she was extremely shy and even stuttered, I immediately cast ‘Beef or Chicken’ on her.

Since it is written as Heilang (黑狼) in the status window, it must be a wolf-type beastman, and in fact, its preferred dish says ‘It eats all kinds of meat’.

The idea was to feed him some delicious food first, get to know him, and then gently coax him out.

Her choice was ‘Beef’. In other words, it was beef.

“Beef? Is there anything you want to eat?”

“Gu, uh… … .”

– Ssuk suk.

[It can be grilled… [Don’t pay attention to people like me]

-slap.

“Looking at you again, you write very beautifully. Anyway, steak? How much to bake?”

“… … … !!!”

Even though she stuttered, she wrote beautifully, so I gave her a quill and sat next to her to help her choose the menu.

Rinne keeps flinching when I lean my cheek against his shoulder to see what was written on the parchment.

Perhaps because she was embarrassed that I had been so kind to her when we first met, she muttered in a more hushed voice.

” is, how… Ugh.”

“You don’t have to force yourself to say it, so please write it down. Personally, I recommend medium rare with a little bit of blood. How do you feel?”

-slap.

“Well, well… … .”

I paid no heed to it and asked again if I wanted to bake it.

​

Then this time, the subtle gaze of my companions fell on me.

“… Ugh. Don’t do that to me. Another hero is possessed today.”

“Angel is so cute.”

“Still, I’m glad the savior used cotton yarn. If I hadn’t used it, that prisoner’s heart would have stopped by now.”

“Instead, I think a catastrophe will occur the day we even make eye contact.”

‘What is everyone saying?’

Arthur looks at me with a feeling of ‘well, that’s right’, and Elizabeth and Lucia take turns looking at Linne and me and muttering something.

As I blinked my eyes again and again, asking why, the sighing became louder.

“Haaa. They say the scariest thing is not having self-awareness.”

‘If you have something to say, say it, why is everyone so flustered…? Hey, don’t worry about it. ‘Not for a day or two.’

“Rinne, sorry for making the group noisy… Hmm?”

The group showed strange reactions again today.

My gaze turned away from the three and towards the parchment again.

OK,

[—~~——~~.]

‘what? Is it Morse code?’

As I was trying to write something, a trace greeted me.

Even earthworm-shaped lines are added in real time.

I looked at Rinne, wondering why he was doing this…

“… … … !!!!!!”

– Pout.

By chance, our eyes met, and the animal ears, which had been drooping all along, stood up for the first time today.

The fact that my face turned red like a tomato was an added bonus.

‘Isn’t it a case of being weak of heart, or just being extremely shy? This is how much you want to cook it, really.’

“Then I’ll make it medium rare. Is it okay?”

-Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

So I decided on baking to treat her decision-making disorder, and she nodded as if she was alive.

It was shaken so vigorously that the animal’s ears flapped like a chicken flapping its wings.

‘… I think we should put a ban on him from entering the kitchen along with Mummumi. ‘I’m going to lose my hair.’

“Then wait a moment. where… .”

Her red face and headbanging only subsided after I stood up to cook.

I heard a sigh of relief as if I had survived… Am I mistaken?

* * * * * *

It didn’t take long to prepare the dish.

Induction slab. Cast iron pan. tongs. Oil. salt. pepper. butter. All I had to do was take out a few herbs.

“A warrior. While you’re at it, do mine too. To medium rare.”

“I ask for the same, angel!!”

“Okay. What about Lucia? Do you want to eat?”

“It’s been a while since I ate meat, so I’d be grateful. roast… I don’t know much about it, so please ask the savior to figure it out for you.”

“Then I’ll give Lucia medium for now. For those who use it… Everything medium rare? Okay.”

As I was doing that, everyone in the group had to have an early lunch at Elizabeth’s request.

​

I do it by number of people. No, Arthur knew he was going to eat a lot, so he took out a little more meat.

The part I chose was the end of the strip, which has a strong meat flavor and good chewy texture.

The way the kingdom is structured is a little different, so it’s closer to the New York Strip in the U.S. than Korea’s Strip…

Regardless, there is no change in the fact that it is an excellent cut for steak, as it has appropriate marbling and thickness.

-Smurf.

‘First of all, seasoning… Even if I say that, the meat is good, so I’ll just sprinkle salt on it.’

The first thing I did was sprinkle salt on the meat and marinate it.

Since it was received cold and placed in the inventory, it was an important task to allow the salt particles to penetrate the meat while keeping the meat, which had not yet lost its coldness, at room temperature.

‘Acceleration.’

-Suuu. Drop drop.

Originally, you had to let it sit for about an hour, but thanks to the acceleration of time with the ‘Blessing of Kronos’, the cold was gone in an instant and all the salt had soaked into the meat.

After wiping off the moisture that had formed on the meat due to osmosis, I was halfway there.

-Chi profit… .

Then, I lightly drizzled olive oil over the meat and placed it in a pan that had been pre-heated over high heat.

The oil was heated to the point of smoking. As soon as five pieces of meat were added, the temperature suddenly dropped and the pan became moderately hot.

The pleasant smell of grilling meat and the sound of oil splattering like rain created harmony in the room.

It was a bonus that the sound of Rinne and the others swallowing their mouths became a harmony.

-Poof. Swish. Swish.

‘Time acceleration is really good. When I did it at home, it was annoying having to stand in front of the pan for several minutes every time I grilled a steak.’

Afterwards, I lowered the output of the induction plate to medium-low heat and quickly turned the meat over.

Accelerate time by 30 seconds. Quickly flip the meat over. Accelerate for 30 seconds. Flip.

Although it was a bit cumbersome, it was an essential process to cook both sides evenly and ultimately reduce juice loss.

However, thanks to this, the more the steak chunks were flipped, the more they turned a deep golden brown color.

It looked so delicious that Arthur made a desperate expression as if he wanted to eat it right away.

‘It’s been a few minutes since I started cooking. Hang in there, you injeolmi bean rice cake.’

-Hold on.

‘Maybe it’s a little less cooked than rare?’

Of course, it only looks like everything is done on the outside.

When I poked it with my finger, the inside was still between blue rare and rare. In other words, it was far undercooked.

But even this was expected, so I calmly started adding ingredients to the pan.

Fresh thyme (Thyme), which is responsible for the main aroma of the steak.

Butter to add the flavor of milk fat.

Lightly crushed garlic to give a different texture and flavor.

As the thyme and garlic began to fry in the high-quality butter that melted in an instant, a storm of aroma filled the room that was filled with the smell of oil.

… I’ll have to open all the windows later and go out. The smell will all permeate.

– Rattling. Swish swish.

‘Finishing with Arroje.’

anyway. I spooned butter rich in the scent of herbs and garlic and sprinkled it on top of the steak.

​

The baking is completed with ‘Arroser’, also called ‘Basting’.

Then, five steaks were completed, soon to be cooked to perfection.

Arthur, with an impatient expression on his face, took a step towards the meat.

“Cheer, angel. Now it’s done… .”

‘It’s Injeolmi bean rice cake with little patience.’

“Please wait a moment. I have to do the resting and make the sauce and garnish.”

“Ugh, uh… I want to eat it quickly… .”

But I put the wooden chopsticks on the plate and put the meat on the chopsticks and shook my head.

Even though it appears to be finished, the internal temperature of the steak continues to rise due to latent heat. In other words, cooking is still continuing.

If you cut the meat here, all the precious juice will be lost, so the ‘resting’ process of waiting until all the latent heat disappears and the internal temperature stops rising further is necessary.

The reason why I left the steak floating on wooden chopsticks was because if I just put it down on the plate, the bottom wouldn’t be able to get wind and resting wouldn’t work well.

And more than anything, why would I let them eat only meat?

Make the sauce while resting. I need to add some sides, or garnishes, to go with it.

-Chiek. Crackling.

However, because my companions were so eager to see me, I finished the remaining dishes as quickly as possible.

After pouring out some of the remaining butter in the pan, add garlic, onion, and crushed peppercorns and stir-fry. Add fresh cream, bulgogi seasoning, and the juices from resting the steak.

Deglaze is used to melt the residue stuck to the bottom of the cast iron pan, also known as fond, as if scraping it off. The sauce is finished by boiling it down to the appropriate consistency.

It was a delicious sauce that was a Korean reinterpretation of Sauce au poivre, a French cream pepper sauce.

Garnishes to go with the steak include mashed potatoes and mashed potatoes that will help you satisfy your carbohydrate quota.

Grilled vegetables made with various vegetables and mushrooms grilled well with just salt and pepper.

Sauerkraut, a royal-style pickled cabbage that will take care of the sour taste.

-Stare… .

‘Arthur, you don’t focus that much even when fighting… ?’

… Actually, I wanted to make something like creamed spinach or butter garlic rice, but I was a bit scared of the staring looks from my companions as if they were going to eat me.

​

So I decided to be satisfied with this, so I filled a plate with naan and served it to my companions.

As for who has the honor of being the first to receive the plate…

Needless to say.

– Rattling.

When I put the dish down in front of Rinne, her eyes immediately turned downward.

Sauerkraut underneath a well-grilled steak. Mashed Potatoes.

Green beans, onions, red onions. tomato. Grilled Badge Table with well-cooked mini carrots.

I even plated it in a ‘platter’ style, putting a lot of it on one plate without distinction.

My steak was not like an elegant gourmet dish, but it was a warm dish full of affection that greeted her.

And, as she looks down in fascination.

I smiled and handed her the silverware.

“Linne. Now that I think about it, I’m late in introducing myself. Shi, who is in charge of being the cook and porter for the former warrior’s party… Hmm. It’s called a leaf.”

“Uh, uh… eww… .”

“Puh. Let’s talk again after dinner. Because I’m not so mean as to say something to a precious colleague in front of food.”

“… … … .”

“Enjoy your meal. Rinne.”

-Grin.

Rinne hesitated, but happily accepted the fork and knife I offered him.

After giving a slight smile, I slowly turned my back so that our fourth warrior could eat in peace.

I hope that we, and I, can be a little more comfortable with her.

Afterwards, I served lunch to my companions.

“Savior. Was that your name in the secular world? ? Something seems awkward… .”

‘… Now that I think about it, Lucia hasn’t even had a clear name yet!? They kept calling me a hero so casually that I forgot to tell them… !!!’

“Lucia, ignore that for now. I guess I’ll keep calling you a savior anyway.”

“That’s right. How can I take the Savior’s name privately…? .”

Although there was an incident in which my expression flashed with belated realization and Lucia and Elizabeth’s expressions became more subtle. anyway.

The warrior’s party, which was almost complete, continued to have a happy meal with a generous and delicious steak.

“———Caeng!!!!!”

– Jump up. Parrrr.

“Lee, Linne!!!!!?”

‘You said you were weak-hearted!! They said I was weak-hearted!!!!!’

… It was peaceful until Rinne showed a reaction that had never been seen before.
