  • Pan-Seared Iberico Secreto with Garlic, Herbs & Flaky Salt

    Simple. Fast. Show-Stopping.

    This is a 10–12 minute recipe that feels restaurant-level but is completely unfussy.

    Serves

    2–3 people

    Ingredients

    • Iberico Secreto straight from 179 FarmS

    • Kosher salt

    • Fresh cracked black pepper

    • 1 tbsp high-smoke oil (avocado or grapeseed)

    • 2 tbsp butter

    • 2–3 cloves garlic, smashed

    • 1 sprig fresh rosemary or thyme

    • Flaky finishing salt (Maldon-style)

    • Optional: squeeze of lemon

    Prep (Do Not Skip)

    • Remove Secreto from fridge 30–45 minutes before cooking.

    • Pat completely dry.

    • Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

    No marinades. No sugar. Trust the meat.

    Cooking Instructions

    Pan-Sear Method (Best Overall)

    • Heat a heavy skillet (cast iron preferred) over medium-high heat.

    • Add oil — pan should be hot but not smoking aggressively.

    • Lay Secreto flat in the pan (it will look irregular — that’s normal).

    • Sear 2½–3 minutes per side until deep golden and crisp.

    • Lower heat slightly, add butter, garlic, and herbs.

    • Baste continuously for 30–60 seconds.

    Internal Temp Target

    • Pull at 135–140°F

    • Rest 5 minutes (carryover will finish it)

    Secreto should be juicy and just blushing inside — not well done.

    Slice & Finish

    • Slice against the grain

    • Sprinkle with flaky salt

    • Optional light lemon squeeze

    Why This Works

    • High heat renders the fat fast

    • Butter + herbs enhance, not mask

    • Short cook preserves tenderness

    Serving Ideas

    • With roasted potatoes

    • Over arugula with shaved Parmesan

    • Alongside grilled vegetables

    • As tapas with crusty bread
