Reverse Seared Whole Picanha

This is my first time purchasing and cooking a whole Picanha. I’ve gotten Picanha steaks from my local grocery store butcher before, but they are usually missing the fat cap, so I have been wanting to try this.

I smoked for almost 2 hours at 250F until I had an internal temp of 115F. I then rested for about 10-15 minutes before searing on my Weber Kettle for about 6-7 minutes.

I think I prefer steaks over roasts, but this came out so incredibly juicy and seasoned well. I think next time I will slice into steaks, but it was a fun cook, and I had to try it at least once.

    The way this makes me feel makes me think this warrants a NSFW.

    Amazinggggggggg. Great choice of meat as well!! Top sirloin caps are one of my most fav cuts.

    What was the prep on this? I’m defrosting a picanha in the fridge as we speak

    I clicked the Upvote, moving this from 69 likes to 70. I am sorry, but the pictures were too good.

    My main question is how much is actually burned? Or is it only like the fat cap

    I asked for a picanha at my supermarket butcher and they had no idea what the hell I was talking about. Just pointed me to some BS sirloin strips.

    Looks incredible. Nicely done with the crosshatching.

    tbh I don’t fully consider it picanha if it’s missing the cap. It makes a huge difference when grilling, so it’s a nonono. I’ve always brought it to the butcher’s attention. It makes no sense. It’s like removing the bone of a t-bone.

    And I second what you said – for picanha at least, steak > roast.

    it looks delicious though, gj!
