The primary flavor is the rich, beefy taste of the chuletón itself, enhanced by simple seasonings. The interactive cooking aspect allows diners to control the level of char and doneness, influencing the final flavor profile.
The 'chuletón' is a thick-cut ribeye steak, typically from Galician Blond (Rubia Gallega) cattle or other high-quality breeds. It's usually seasoned simply with coarse sea salt, sometimes with a drizzle of olive oil. The hot stone sears the exterior, creating a Maillard reaction that intensifies the meaty flavors. The absence of heavy sauces allows the natural taste of the beef to shine. Cooking on the stone imparts a subtle smoky flavour.
Funzionalità Premium
Stone Temperature
Ensure the stone is sufficiently hot but not smoking excessively before placing the meat. A moderately hot stone provides the best sear without burning the exterior.
Meat Thickness
Cut the chuletón into thin slices before cooking on the stone. This allows for quicker and more even cooking.
Seasoning
Use high-quality sea salt and a touch of olive oil. Avoid overpowering seasonings that mask the flavor of the beef.
Resting the Meat
While each slice is cooked individually, you can allow the already cooked slices to rest for a few minutes before eating, which will redistribute the juices.
Ventilation
Make sure the restaurant is adequately ventilated since the hot stone cooking will cause some smoke.
