How to Cook Picanha Steaks
Picanha shines with simple seasoning. Pat the steaks dry and season generously with coarse salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
On the grill: Cook over medium-high heat, turning as needed to develop a flavorful crust. Position the fat edge carefully to help it brown and render, watching for flare-ups.
In cast iron: Sear the steaks in a hot skillet, turning for even cooking. If the fat cap is thick, carefully sear the fat edge to develop additional flavor.
Use a meat thermometer to cook your steak to your preferred doneness, whether you enjoy a warm, ruby-red center or something more thoroughly cooked. Allow the steak to rest briefly before slicing so the juices can settle.
Slice against the grain for the most tender bite.
