Bife De Chancho (Pork steak) Wrapped in Prosciutto W
- 4 boneless pork loin chops, one inch thick, 4 to 5 ounces each
- coarse salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 12 large fresh sage leaves
- 8 paper-thin slices high-quality prosciutto
- 14 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Trim off all fat and membrane from the meat.
- Place each chop between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound it to about 1/2 inch thick.
- Season carefully with pepper and salt, depending upon the saltiness of your prosciutto.
- Spread each chop generously with mustard.
- Arrange 3 sage leaves on top of each chop.
- Place 2 slices of prosciutto on top of each chop and drizzle a tablespoon of oil over the top of each one.
- Heat one or two cast iron skillets over high heat until a drop of water sizzles.
- Lift each chop with a wide spatula and, in one quick motion, invert onto the hot surface.
- Cook without moving (sic; I think it's okay for the cook to move!)
- for 20 seconds, or until the prosciutto crisps.
- When the prosciutto is very crisp, turn the chops and continue cooking, adding a little more oil if necessary and lowering the heat if the meat starts to burn, until the other side is browned and the meat is done to taste, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
