Iberico secreto, or the pig’s secret, is a marvelous cut. It is hidden between the neck and the shoulder blade. It is well marbled and very juicy and tender. The name refers to the Spanish breed of pigs (the Iberian peninsula is Spain and Portugal), and ‘secreto’ means secret.
It is a small cut of meat, it typically weighs 10-15 oz and is 1/2 inch thick, so it cooks quickly. I made sandwiches with these, stuffed with coriander and sliced peaches, such a fresh combo.
I grilled them on furious heat, 1 minute per side, then sliced. That's it!
The raw meat, check out that marbling
Get that grill searing hot
The meat, seared and ready to bring in
Here I have sliced it, roughly 140° F inner temp
And the sandwich, with sliced peaches and coriander.
If you haven't tried Iberico Secreto, you must. It really melts in your mouth.
