Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Picanha

    Rub the picanha steak with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Fries

    Peel and cut the potatoes into fries. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the potatoes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, season with salt.

  3. 3

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, combine rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

  4. 4

    Grill the Picanha

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the picanha for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the picanha and serve with fries and rice on the side.
