    LEON, SPAIN - Totally off the beaten path in the countryside of Spain is where you’ll fine
    Bodega El Capricho, one of the greatest single steak restaurants on earth. Jose Gordon's family raises their own oxen, much longer than typical commercial beef, and ages the meat to perfection. Sitting in an ancient cave wine cellars you will taste the best steak in the world!
    Friends in the video:
    Jeffrey Merrihue ( / xtremefoodies_ Thank you to Jeffrey for setting up this once in a lifetime experience)
    Kevin Chan ( / finediningexp )
    We arrived in León about mid morning ready to spend an entire day at Bodega El Capricho, learning about the world’s best beef. Jose Gordon first brought us around the farm, taking us to a variety of places where he raises a number of different breeds of oxen. They were no doubt the biggest cattle I’ve ever seen, giant and healthy, so beautiful - so gentle and yet so powerful. One ox he showed us was over 1600 kilos, literally the size of a rhinoceros.
    Next it was the tour of the processing facility where the meat is packaged and shipped. Seeing the best quality beef in the world all in one facility was amazing. What was also a highlight was tasting cecina, Jose’s signature beef which is salted and preserved in a cave for 4 years. The flavor was so intense and so delicious I almost couldn’t believe it.
    Finally we headed back to the restaurant for the full beef meal which was the full tasting menu. We started off slow and steady and progressed our way to the main event, the giant t-bone ox steak, aged for 180 days and grilled to absolute perfection. The meat was unlike any other steak I’ve ever had, the most intense beefy cheesy flavor I’ve ever had. Truly as Keven mentioned, every other steak will be flavorless after this one. Eating steak in a cave is one of the most memorable food experiences and Spanish food experiences I’ve ever had.
    What I loved about Jose Gordon is that throughout the process he truly treats his cows and oxen with respect. There’s no doubt you will find some of the best meat on earth at Bodega El Capricho.

    I thought we knew steak in Texas.. I thought the New Yorkers made it exquisite.. I thought the Japanese with their Kobe was the state of the art... But Jose, sir, what you have created here is the Holy of Holies. May your family and tradition live forever. If I ever go to Europe I would be honored to dine here.

      @@omroru3089 It's just a matter of marketing. E.g. Italian food bc of italians-americans, has reached the whole US with cheap and easy-to-do products (pizza and pasta) + promoted Italy image as the main mediterranean cuisine through movies etc. during decades. Spain didn't have such a marketing and international presence. It's now that people starts to now about it bc of top chef awards and tourism. It's just 'country brand' is so unfair. E.g. Most of olive oil in the world is spanish, main and top producer. However italian brands have the power in the market, so they absorb spanish companies, and sell spanish oil as italian. Let alone the wine...

      @@Raessok lie? As I said I lived in Alicante and I know Spain from top bottom. But if you doubt me ask any Spanish people who live close to the Portuguese border then come back to me. The only region in Spain I’m not familiar about is Asturias and País Vasco which I plan to visit soon. I even remember in Alicante there was barely any Spanish restaurant. Most were fast food or Italian which is not a good sign of good gastronomy. In Portugal most restaurants are Portuguese.

    A restaurant carved into a mountain, beef from birth to giving nutrition in a fabulous restaurant. Chef Jose petting a 1600 kg ox with giant horns, he takes good care of them, and Mark there too, bravely touching the giant ox. Aged salted beef nicely marbled, jewel toned, when sliced and looks very delicious. A very impressive chef, farm and restaurant, awesome!

      @@chihhou It's like putting down a lame race horse. You can love it but ending it's life is what's best for the animal.

    I love Spaniard beef. I’m not saying it’s the best steak in the world, I’m just saying when I lived there, I learn minimal pepper and salt is the only seasoning you need and the portion to the cost is fantastic. And If given the choice of what kind of steak I want for my last meal, I would choose Spanish beef. And WOW, Iberia Jamón is the best and I would love to sample that beef Jamón. Im sure it will also be the best too.

    My stars above. I have not eaten beef in over 15 years. But to have this experience and enjoy such freshness, I would quickly revert. LOL. Wow. Thank you Mark, Jeremy and Kevin. Jose, Continue to be great and grant others this once in a lifetime experience. This is definitely in the top 5 videos from you Mark. Probably number 1. I am blown away. Mouth is watering. I wish Ying could have experienced this one with you. MAD LOVE!❤

    The way Jose interacts with his animals reminds me of something responsible farmers say: "I want my animals to be happy all their lives and have just one really bad day."
