Recipe for Ibérico Denver “Presa” Steak with Mushrooms and Brandy
Ingredients:
- 1 pack CG Ibérico Denver "Presa" Steak (approximately 1 pound)
- 2 cups assorted mushrooms (approximately 300g), chopped
- 3 shallots or chives, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 7 tablespoons butter (about 100g)
- 7 tablespoons brandy (about 100 ml)
- 4 teaspoons chopped chives (about 20g)
- ¼ cup cream (about 60 ml)
- Salt
- Pepper
Preparation:
- In a frying pan, sauté the finely chopped shallots and minced garlic in butter over medium heat for approximately 10 minutes, until they become translucent and fragrant.
- Add the chopped mushrooms to the pan, increase the heat, and cook, stirring continuously, until the water released by the mushrooms has evaporated and they have developed a golden brown color.
- Pour the brandy over the mushrooms and carefully flambé to infuse them with rich, aromatic flavor. Allow the flames to subside.
- Stir in the cream and let the mixture simmer until it thickens slightly, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Add the chopped chives to the mushroom mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm while preparing the steak.
- Season the Iberian Denver "Presa" Steak with salt and pepper on both sides. Cut the steak into butterfly cuts, then grill or pan-sear over high heat for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until desired level of doneness is achieved. For medium-rare, aim for about 1.5 minutes per side per centimeter of meat thickness.
- Allow the steak to rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- Serve the sliced steak alongside the brandy-infused mushrooms, and savor the exquisite flavors of this Spanish-inspired dish. Enjoy!
