Pork secreto is a hidden cut from the Iberian pig, nestled between the shoulder blade and the loin. It is one of the most marbled cuts on the pig, resembling a thin skirt steak in appearance. When cooked quickly over high heat the fat renders to produce a uniquely rich, nutty flavor. It is particularly prized when sourced from free-range Iberian pigs fed on acorns.
