1
Prepare the Picanha
Trim any excess fat from the picanha, leaving about a 1/4 inch layer. Cut the meat into thick slices, about 1.5 inches wide, while keeping the fat cap intact.
2
Season the Meat
Rub the picanha slices with olive oil, then season generously with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring that the grates are clean and lightly oiled.
4
Grill the Picanha
Place the picanha slices on the grill, fat side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.
5
Rest and Serve
Remove the picanha from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve with fries and white rice.
