The Iberico Pork Secreto isn't much of a looker, but that's not the point. It is a long, flat sheet of meat that looks a lot like a skirt steak. The ham does not have the drama of a beautiful ham or bone-in pork chop, but it totally makes up for it in flavor, tenderness, and ease of cooking. It has become one of the most favorite pork cuts that I have ever cooked, even though it does not have a beautiful appearance.

‍

Iberico ham is a famed Spanish delicacy that is prepared from the outside of the shoulder muscles of richly marbled, richly marbled Iberico pigs that are fed acorns so that they can become fattened up and eventually be turned into a delicious Spanish delicacy called Iberico ham. Due to this, the meat has a high amount of intramuscular fat present in it, which is what gives it its richness.

In addition to reminiscence of the ribeye cap steak, it reminds me of one of my favorite pieces of pork that are darker than the rest of the roast under the fat cap. It's almost as if you have an entire piece of the loin that is entirely rich, tender, deeply flavored and is an entire portion of that cut of meat.

‍

As it is a thin strip of meat, the secreto is perfect to grill or cook on the stovetop as well because it has a great char at the end. As a first attempt to prepare Meat N' Bone's secret, I seasoned it with salt and pepper and then seared it in a frying pan with butter and garlic in it. I then dusted it lightly with fennel pollen after it had been removed from the heat.

‍

After I had sliced it thin and served it with a quick pan sauce, I then dusted it with fennel pollen while it rested. A couple days ago, I deployed Momofuku's Savory Salt, seared it hard again, and topped it with Bibimbap. Both times it was just as easy to make and both times it came out incredible. It pulls off that rare feat of being an outstanding, but low maintenance dish suitable for a weeknight dinner.

If you're tired of the same old chicken or beef dinners on busy weeknights, it's time to switch things up with the 'Secret' Pork Cut recommended by the Rich Report. This lesser-known cut of pork is not only affordable, but it's also incredibly versatile and easy to cook. Plus, it's packed with flavor and tends to cook much faster than other cuts of pork, making it the perfect option for those nights when you need dinner on the table fast.

‍

To get started, you'll need to head to your local butcher or grocery store and ask for the 'secret' pork cut. This cut can go by different names depending on where you live, so it's important to ask for clarification if you're not sure what to look for. Once you have your pork, the possibilities are endless. You can season it with your favorite spices, marinate it in a flavorful sauce, or even cook it on the grill for a smoky flavor.

‍

One of our favorite ways to prepare the 'Secret' Pork Cut is to pan-fry it in a hot skillet. Simply season your pork with salt, pepper, and any other spices you prefer, and heat up a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add your pork to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Let the pork rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly and serving with your favorite sides.
