First time picanha

First time picanha

3.5lb Picanha $42 cut into steaks, then dry brined the ones pictured for a little over 24hrs. Remaining steaks were vacuum sealed/frozen.

These were reverse seared at 250f for maybe 30 minutes give or take. Pulled and seared on stainless steel.

Extremely rich and very beefy. Not my favorite cut but I would happily eat it again and at that price it is hard to complain.

    great cook job! curious, how’d you season them?

    i’ve found that the best way to season picanhas is, interestingly, salt only! it’s how it’s traditionally done in Brazil, and for good reason IMO. i’ve noticed other seasonings, even pepper, take away from the flavor for some reason

    Looks like perfection. I’ve got a frozen picanha in the freezer right now. I’ll use your method.

    Just cooked one for the first time myself the other day. Smoked at 225 for 3 1/2 hrs then grilled each side from about 5 minutes at 475 ish. Delicious.

    Never realized how hideous a raw picanha is before. Only ate them every other day when I went to Brasil.
