1
Season the Meats
Generously season the picanha and fraldinha with salt and black pepper. For the pork chops, season similarly with salt and pepper, ensuring to rub the seasoning into the meat thoroughly.
2
Grill the Meats
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the picanha for about 4-5 minutes per side, until a nice crust forms and it reaches desired doneness. Grill the fraldinha for about 3-4 minutes per side. For the pork chops, grill for about 5-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness.

3
Boil Potatoes
Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
4
Prepare Garlic
While potatoes are boiling, peel and chop the garlic cloves. In a small pan, melt the butter and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
5
Mash the Potatoes
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the sautéed garlic with butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
