Valentine's Day Picanha Steak Recipe
Serves: 4 | Prep Time: 30 min. | Grilling Time: 20 to 25 min.
Ingredients for Picanha Steak:
- 3-4 lbs. Top Sirloin Cap
- Duck Fat Spray
- Dark Side of the Grill Mel Toro Beef Rub
Directions for Picanha Steak:
STEP 1: Remove your steak from the fridge and let sit for 40 minutes prior to cooking
STEP 2: Next, fire up your charcoal grill.
STEP 3: Next prepare your steak. Lay the top sirloin cap flat on a cutting board fat-side up. Using a knife, cut the fat layer, without cutting to the meat, in a crisscross pattern, also known as a crosshatch to you fancier folk out there.
STEP 4: Spray with Duck Fat Spray and work into the fat-cap and sides
STEP 5: Generously season with Dark Side of the Grill Mel Toro Beef Rub
STEP 6: Flip over and spray with Duck Fat Spray again and season
STEP 7: Next cut the steak lengthwise into equal pieces
STEP 8: Roll each steak like a jelly-roll and then using a large metal skewer go through bottom to top with how-ever many steaks were cut.
STEP 9: Cook the steaks over the charcoal for 20 to 25 mins (turning every 5 to 7 minutes). You are looking for 128°F to 132°F internal temperature for medium rare.
STEP 10: Once temperature has hit (to your liking) pull off the grill and let rest for 5mins.
STEP 11: Slice against the grain and serve with the Steak Oscar-Style Shrimp Béarnaise Sauce on top.
