Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Meat
Start by trimming any excess fat from the picanha, leaving a layer about 1 cm thick for flavor and moisture during cooking.

Season the Picanha
In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Rub the mixture evenly over the entire surface of the picanha. Allow the meat to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Flip and Cook
Carefully flip the picanha to the other side and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should reach 55-60°C (130-140°F).

Rest the Meat
Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the picanha from the grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Slice and Serve
Using a sharp knife, slice the picanha against the grain into thin strips. Serve with lime wedges and chimichurri sauce on the side for dipping.
