One of the finest portions of Iberico pork available, it’s almost a crime to think this portion might be a secret to many. As the name implies, Secreto means secret. A hidden cut sourced from the shoulder; this relatively small portion typically weighs around 10-15 ounces. Unbelievably juicy and well-marbled, it’s best served lightly seasoned and quickly grilled.

Grilled Iberico Pork Secreto Recipe

Ingredients:

Directions:
  1. Bring the meat to room temperature and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Preheat the grill to 450F.
  3. Season the meat on both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika. Place directly onto the grill and cook on each side for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Immediately remove from the grill and place on a cutting board. Cover the meat tightly and allow it to rest for ten minutes.
  5. Slice thinly against the grain and start your chimichurri sauce.
  6. Combine the hot water, oregano, and salt in a bowl and allow it to rest for five minutes.
  7. In a food processor, blitz the parsley, cilantro, garlic, and red pepper flakes until coarsely chopped. Add the water/oregano mixture and the vinegar and pulse to combine.
  8. Transfer to a bowl and whisking all the time, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Serve on top of the Iberico pork secreto.
