Presa de Iberico
Iberico pork "Denver Steak" , marinated and seared, served over a creamy white romesco, topped with sherry-honey reduction, patatas paja, fresh herbs
Server Description
The "Denver steak" comes from the collar of this 100% black iberian pig. The white romesco is made with chicken stock and marcona almonds with a touch of pimenton. We top it off with a dry sherry reduction that has been emulsified with butter, honey and sherry vinegar and then finish it with some potato "sticks" for texture. It is served medium rare to ensure a tender, flavorful dish

procedure
- Season the presa with the salt and pepper and sear on the plancha on all sides until well caramelized and the presa reaches medium-rare (You can finish it in the oven if the piece is too thick but it has to be done BEFORE you slice it.)
- Remove the presa from the heat and allow to rest before slicing
- On a rectangle plate, spread the white romesco
- Slice the presa into 6-8 slices about 1/2 inch thick
- Shingle the presa over the romesco evenly and across the length of the plate
- Season the meat with maldon salt
- Spoon the sherry honey reduction down the middle of the presa, ensuring to get sauce on each slice
- Top with the patatas paja and garnish with beautiful parsley sprigs
