The charcoal-grilled entrecôte from Yuca’s daily menu

Bep Al·lès/Los Delfines - Some dishes explain the essence of a restaurant better than any speech. This charcoal-grilled entrecôte from Yuca’s daily menu is a perfect example. Served with a generous portion of potatoes and a pepper sauce on the side, allowing diners to decide how much they wish to use, it stands out above all for its precise cooking and for the unmistakable aroma that only wild olive wood embers can provide.

The cut arrives beautifully marked by the grill, with a lightly caramelised surface and a juicy interior that preserves the full intensity of the meat. Flakes of coarse sea salt provide the finishing touch to a preparation that relies on simplicity executed with skill. The potatoes, golden and crisp, complete an honest and generous dish, true to the philosophy of a restaurant that has made charcoal-grilled meats and fish its defining hallmark. A proposal free from unnecessary embellishment, yet delivering all the flavour one expects from a fine Menorcan grill.
