Ingredients

Method

Directions

1

Prepare the Meat

Trim excess fat from the picanha and cut it into thick slices about 2 inches thick. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

2

Prepare the Sausage

Slice the Portuguese sausage into thick rounds.

3

Heat the Griddle

Heat a large griddle or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to the pan.

4

Cook the Picanha

Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned picanha slices to the griddle. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

5

Cook the Sausage

In the same griddle, add the sliced Portuguese sausage and cook until browned and slightly crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

6

Add Garlic

In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add minced garlic to the pan, stirring to combine with the meat and sausage.

7

Finish and Serve

Remove the picanha and sausage from the griddle. Let the meat rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
