Iberico Pork Loin Steaks
The loin is found within the midsection of the back of Iberico Pata Negra pigs. One of the leanest and tender cuts. Known as the “Wagyu of Pork” the meat has a beautiful marble of fat running through it providing a delectable taste with each morsel.
Containing two ±120g steaks per pack, it has a stunning layer of fat covering the top of the muscle. When roasted it turns a beautiful nutty golden brown. The loin has a creamier and smoother flavour with more texture than that of other cuts of the Iberian pork.
How to prepare your loin steaks
Step-by-Step Cooking:
1. Thaw the Steaks:
• Option 1:
Quick Thaw (Cold Water):
Place the steaks in a sealed plastic bag, submerge in cold water, and change the water every 30 minutes. It should take about 30-60 minutes to thaw fully.
• Option 2: Slow Thaw (Refrigerator):
Place the steaks in the fridge overnight to thaw slowly. This ensures even thawing and a tender texture.
2. Pat Dry:
Once thawed, pat the steaks dry with paper towels. This helps them sear nicely and develop a crust.
3. Season:
Generously season both sides with salt and pepper. Iberico pork has a rich flavour, so keep it simple, or you can add your favourite herbs like thyme or rosemary.
4. Heat Sources (Choose One):
• Stovetop (Cast Iron Skillet):
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil or butter. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side, flipping once. Let the pork rest for a few minutes after cooking.
• Grill:
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the steaks for about 3-4 minutes on each side until nicely browned, with an internal temperature of 65°C. Let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
• Oven (Broiler):
Preheat the broiler on high. Place the steaks on a broiler pan or oven-safe skillet and broil for about 3 minutes per side, flipping halfway through. Rest for 3-5 minutes after cooking.
• Air Fryer:
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C. Cook the steaks for 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown. Let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

The Iberian Peninsula of Spain, is a land of rich history and stunning natural beauty. Here, amidst rolling hills, ancient forests, and sun-drenched plains, lies the home of the renowned Iberico Pork. In the extensive oak forests, known as “dehesas”, the Pata Negra pigs are allowed to roam freely, feasting on acorns and other natural vegetation, which contributes to the unique flavour and marbling of the meat.
