Tomahawk
Funny name, great steak. I think that pretty much summarizes this bovine cut of meat. The tomahawk is a thick cut ribeye steak with the rib attached. It is frenched, meaning the meat is cut off the rib bone, giving it an axe like shape.
Secreto Iberico
Secreto Iberico, or the pig’s secret, is a marvelous cut. It is located by the shoulder blade, almost hidden, as the name implies (Secreto => secret). It is well marbled and very juicy and tender.
Russian Dressing
Russian Dressing is probably most known as one of the ingredients in a Reuben sandwich. Here’s how to make it. It has a tangy flavor, with a bit of sting, which complements brisket perfectly. I use greek yoghurt here instead of mayo, as brisket is rather fatty and I think the slightly leaner yoghurt is a better match.
Hollandaise sauce
Hollandaise is another sauce classic. It has a twang, is fresh and with great flavor. It goes really well with both asparagus and on eggs Benedict.
