Juicy picanha grilled whole with the fat cap facing up, cut into thick slices — a popular grilling favorite.
Score the fat cap in a diamond pattern without cutting into the meat
Rub the meat with olive oil and plenty of coarse salt
Grill whole over indirect heat with the fat side up for about 20 minutes
Move to direct heat and grill the fat side until crisp, 5-8 minutes
Let the meat rest for 10 minutes
Slice thickly against the grain
Recipe tips
Always cut picanha against the grain — it makes it far more tender to eat.
