Picanha is a popular cut of beef in Latin America. It is a flavorful and tender cut that is considered a classic in most foodie circles.
To prepare picanha, season the meat generously with salt and any other desired seasonings, such as garlic or herbs.
Here are three ways to prepare picanha:
-
Grilled Picanha: This is a classic way to prepare picanha. Start by grilling the meat over high heat, fat-side down, for about 5-7 minutes until it develops a nice crust. Flip the meat and continue grilling until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Let the meat rest for a few minutes before slicing it against the grain.
-
Roasted Picanha: Another great way to prepare picanha is to roast it in the oven. Start by searing the meat in a hot skillet or grill pan until it develops a nice crust. Then, transfer the meat to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and cook it for about 15-20 minutes until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
-
Skewered Picanha: Picanha can also be cooked on skewers over an open flame or on a grill. Cut the meat into small cubes and thread them onto skewers. Grill the skewers over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and has developed a nice char.
No matter how you choose to prepare it, picanha is a delicious and versatile cut of beef that is sure to impress your guests or family.
