Description

A delicious reverse-seared picanha steak with a crispy fat crust.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds picanha roast
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
  2. Season the picanha generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Place the picanha on a wire rack over a baking sheet.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until the internal temperature reaches 120°F (49°C), about 1 hour.
  5. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes.
  6. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat and sear the picanha fat side down for about 2-3 minutes until crispy.
  7. Flip and sear the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
  8. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Serve the sliced picanha with chimichurri sauce for added flavor.
  • Resting the meat after cooking helps retain juices.
