This is one of the most flavorful cuts of beef you’ll ever put on a grill.
Picanha is a Brazilian steakhouse classic, but we gave it the BBQ treatment—slow smoked until perfectly medium-rare, then finished over a hot grill for an incredible crust. Top it with fresh homemade chimichurri and you’ve got a steak that’s hard to beat.
Save this recipe for your next cookout!
INGREDIENTS
For the Picanha:
• 1 Picanha (2–3 lbs)
• 3 tbsp coarse salt
• 2 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
For the Chimichurri:
• 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
• ½ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ cup red wine vinegar
• ½ cup olive oil
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• Salt and pepper, to taste
METHOD
1. Trim any excess fat from the picanha, leaving about ¼ inch of the fat cap intact.
2. Score the fat cap in a crisscross pattern.
3. Season generously with coarse salt, black pepper, and minced garlic.
4. Preheat your smoker to 225°F using hickory wood and charcoal.
5. Place the picanha fat-side up and smoke until the internal temperature reaches 110–120°F.
6. Transfer to a hot grill and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until a beautiful crust forms.
7. Remove from the grill and rest for 10 minutes.
8. While the steak rests, combine parsley, cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
9. Let the chimichurri sit for at least 10 minutes so the flavors can come together.
10. Slice the picanha against the grain and serve with plenty of chimichurri.
Smoky, juicy, and packed with flavor from edge to edge.
