Instructions

1

Prepare the Marinade

In a small bowl, mix together minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. This will create a flavorful marinade for the picanha.

2

Marinate the Picanha

Rub the marinade all over the picanha, ensuring it is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

3

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to high heat. If you are using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are hot and glowing.

4

Grill the Picanha

Place the marinated picanha on the grill, fat side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes per side, depending on your preferred doneness. Aim for medium-rare to medium.

5

Rest and Slice

Once cooked, remove the picanha from the grill and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Slice against the grain into thin pieces.

6

Garnish and Serve

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy your garlic beef!
