Preparation Steps
1
Pat the Iberico Secreto pork dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
2
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
3
Rub the marinade mixture all over the pork slices, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
4
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, place the pork slices in the pan.
5
Cook the secreto for 2-3 minutes per side, until a beautiful golden-brown crust forms. Be careful not to overcook the pork, as it should remain juicy.
6
Remove the pork from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
7
Serve the secreto with fresh lemon wedges, which can be squeezed over the meat just before serving. Steamed vegetables or roasted potatoes make an excellent accompaniment.
