Meat

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the picanha steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F / 200°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Picanha

    Remove the picanha from the marinade and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Place the steak on the grill, fat side up. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired level of doneness is reached.

  3. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked, remove the picanha from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes. This will help the juices redistribute within the meat.

  4. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the picanha against the grain into thin strips. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
