"Presa de Ibérico al Oloroso con salsa de hongos"

I think it's a particular part of the pork. I would like the English version to be appetising, while still giving the readers an Idea of what they´re about to be fed...

Thanks.

presa de ibérico
Iberian pork sirloin steak (or cutlet)


Explanation:
that may not be anatomically exact, but it sounds reasonably appetising. There's a description of pork loin cuts here http://www.foodsubs.com/MeatPorkLoin.html, and a description of "presa de ibérico" here http://www.afuegolento.com/noticias/103/firmas/agazquez/3905... and an example of the proposed translation here http://www.ribs-sa.es/html/RIBSpress4.pdf

disagree  Alexandra Stirling: loin is lomo, presa ibérica is a special cut from the shoulder or butt part of Iberico breed pork (https://www.lakasa.es/es-presa-de-iberico-puro-127)

presa de ibérico
Iberian (wild) boar


Explanation:
I sort of agree with everyone else, but if you don't know the exact cut of meat, it's a bit of a problem. In supermarkets "presa iberica" is just the kind of meat. Solomillo could be loin or tenderloin (for pork)

How about \"tenderloin of Iberian boar\" - if that\'s what it is.

presa de ibérico
wild boar


Explanation:
Presa indicates game, something that is hunted. One recipe had it with "bellotas", acorns, which is what the pigs feed on in Extremadura. There are also sweet sauces in some recipes. In Argentina, dogs are trained to hunt "presa".

Curiously, I ran across a Spanish cook book in Costco, today and it mentioned the black pigs of Extremadura as cerdo iberico. Now these are domesticated, but their cousins would be feral pigs or boar which are hunted (presas).

disagree  Alexandra Stirling: here, "presa" doesn't refer to game. Presa de cerdo ibérico is a special cut from Iberico pork
