Secreto with Romesco Sauce
Recipe Notes
- Yield: Serves 4
- Method: Direct grilling
Ingredients
- 2 ½ pounds pork secreto steaks (4 steaks, each 10 to 12 ounces)
- Coarse salt (kosher or sea)
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Spanish smoked paprika (optional)
- Extra virgin olive oil, preferably Spanish
- Lemon quarters, for serving
- Romesco Sauce (optional)
- Grilled calcots, large scallions, or baby leeks
Recipe Steps
1: Make the Romesco Sauce. Set aside.
2: Grill the calcots, scallions, or baby leeks. Set aside.
3: Generously season the secreto with salt and ground pepper and dust with paprika, if using.
4: Lay the secreto directly on the grill grate. Sear for about 2 minutes per side. Do not overcook. Transfer the meat to a cutting board and let rest for 1 to 2 minutes. Slice thinly on a diagonal against the grain. Transfer the meat and its juices to a platter or plates, then drizzle lightly with olive oil. Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top.
5: Serve with Romesco Sauce and grilled calcots. (For an authentic presentation, wrap the latter in a newspaper cone.)
