Iberico Pork Cheeks (Carrilladas)
The Pata Negra feast on sweet acorns which lends the pork a deep red colour. While the Iberico Pork Cheeks carry an exceptionally rich and nutty flavour, the Carrillada cheeks are surprisingly lean due to the stunning fat marbled through the meat.
The fork-tender “Carrilladas” or cheeks are perfect for a slow roast pulled pork dish. Slow cooking in a rich red wine sauce transforms this prized cut into a heartwarming dish. When you braise these Iberico Pork Cheeks, the nut flavoured fat slowly melts into the pork to create an incredible taste bud tantalising and pleasing dish.
Cooking Tips For Steaks
- For frozen steaks, thaw overnight in the fridge.
- Bring the steak to room temperature 20 minutes before cooking (time will vary depending on thickness).
- Pat dry
- We don't recommend any seasonning for Japanese Wagyu as well as other Wagyu Beef as all the flavours are in the fat.
- Don't cook Wagyu on a grill as you will loose all the fat.
- Get your skillet smoking hot before putting the steak in.
- Cook the steak on either side for about 2 minutes depending on thickness or until the meat is forming a stunning golden crust to it.
- Except for Japanese Wagyu, half way through cooking, we like basting it with unsalted butter and a few branches of fresh thym.
- Remove from the heat and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes under aluminum foil as it will allow juices to reabsorb into the meat and the fibres to relax. This is where the magic operates.
- Once cooked, you can then season your meat with some Blackthorn Scottish Salt or freshly grinded pepper.
