Iberico Secreto

Options
Been wanting to try what’s referred to as the “Wagyu” of pork, Iberico Secreto and it didn’t disappoint. Just like Wagyu, all this cut really needs is salt, but I gave a little dusting of PS Seasonings Buried Treasure truffle seasoning. Fired up the MiniMax to about 500° and cooked direct for about 90 seconds per side. 

Wow…it was maybe the best pork I’ve ever had! After trying some plain, I hit the rest with chimichurri and I was in heaven! If you haven’t tried it, get yourself some and see for yourself!

    The pata negra is the greatest pork you'll ever have.  Spanish pig > any other pork you can find.

    cooking meat is overrated 

    grind it up and add an egg yolk. this is pretty good with lamb

    by any chance did you take an internal temp
