Main Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Chimichurri Sauce

    In a medium bowl, combine the parsley, cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Picanha

    Trim any excess fat from the picanha, if necessary. Score the fat cap in a crosshatch pattern to help it render while cooking.

  3. 3

    Cook the Picanha

    Heat a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Season the picanha generously with salt and black pepper. Place the picanha fat-side down on the grill or skillet and sear for about 5-7 minutes until the fat is crispy. Flip and cook for another 10-15 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Prepare Jalapenos

    While the picanha is cooking, slice the jalapenos and remove seeds if desired for less heat.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once cooked to your liking, remove the picanha from the grill/skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice against the grain, serve with sliced jalapenos and chimichurri sauce on the side.
