Long time lurker, first time poster. I've seen a lot of posts about Picahna but I've never had it let alone cooked it. I've never even done Ribeye or New York Strips, I am stingy and just do my Flat Iron or Chuck Eye. After seeing so many posts about Picahna, however, I decided to give it a shot. You guys are truly inspiring.

It might be my new favorite cut. I don't even feel like I did anything that crazy with it. I did a one day dry brine (like I do for most of my steaks), coated it in oil and a rub, threw it into an oven at 250 until it hit 105, pulled it out and threw it into a ripping hot cast iron to singe the fat and sear the edges, and BAM! Done.

It also wasn't expensive from my local butcher. He only charged me $8.99/lb. Is that normal? I feel like I am going to be going back there a lot. He said that only two other people in my town (small town of about 18,000) order it so maybe it just isn't as well known?

    I’m convinced always wanted to cook this but do you have a thermometer? I really have to invest in one

    Love this cut. Costco sells them.
    Started cooking them after watching the Guga guy on YouTube. He makes all type of steak and swears the picanha is the best.
