Generally, the fork is held in the left hand and the knife is held in the right hand. The knife and fork are held from above, and the index fingers of both hands are pressed on the knife and fork for use.
Simply put, it is to cut the food with a knife in your right hand, and then fork it with your left hand.
Press the left end of the food with a fork and fix it. After cutting the food about the size of a bite with a knife along the side of the fork, the fork can directly tie up the food and send it to the mouth.
2. How to eat and cut western-style steak correctly:
(1) Cut from the left.
When eating, fork the steak from the left side, and then cut it with a knife along the right side of the fork. If the cut meat can't be eaten in one bite, you can directly cut it into smaller pieces with a knife, cut the meat just the size of a bite, and then send it directly to the population with a fork.
(2) The emphasis is on the strength of pressing the meat with a knife.
In order to cut the steak easily, you should first loosen your shoulders and fork it with a fork. Then move back and forth gently and slowly with the knife. Push hard when you extend the knife, not when you pull it back.
(3) Put the sauce on the inside of the plate.
When you order steak, a cup of sauce comes with it. In formal occasions, the sauce should be served by yourself, not by the waiter.
First of all, take the sauce bowl to the side of the plate, and be careful not to drip on the tablecloth when taking the sauce with a spoon. The sauce can't be poured directly on the steak, but an appropriate amount should be put on the inside of the plate, and then the meat should be cut into bites and dipped in the sauce.
The best amount of sauce is about two tablespoons. After taking the sauce, put the spoon on the side of the sauce bowl and pass it on to the next person.
(4) Don't cut all the steaks into pieces at the beginning, or all the delicious gravy will flow out. If you fork the left side of the meat but start cutting from the right side of the meat; It will be difficult to cut the meat. Because you have a fork in your left hand, it is basic to start cutting from the left.
Never start cutting from the right. If you cut too hard, you will make a loud noise when you cut it. It's hard to use a knife in a leaning posture.
(5) All the decorated vegetables should also be eaten. The vegetables placed next to the steak are not only for decoration, but also added for balanced nutrition. Most Chinese people leave water cress. If they don't really like it, it's best not to leave it. Take the sauce from the soup and put it on the inside of the plate. The vegetables and meat placed next to it are eaten alternately.
