Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Garlic Coating

Mince the garlic cloves and combine them in a bowl with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary (if using). Mix well to form a paste.

2

Prepare the Picanha

Trim any excess fat from the picanha, leaving a thin layer for flavor. Score the fat in a crosshatch pattern to help the seasoning penetrate.

3

Coat the Picanha

Rub the garlic mixture all over the picanha, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.

4

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to high heat. If using a charcoal grill, allow the coals to burn until they are covered with ash.

5

Grill the Picanha

Place the picanha fat-side down on the grill. Cook for about 15-20 minutes for medium-rare, flipping halfway through. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (130°F for medium-rare).

6

Rest and Serve

Remove the picanha from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve it sliced against the grain.
