Whew… not much going on in the BBQ thread these days.
Since I’m currently dating a Brazilian… I felt it was finally time I cooked Picanha. (Ok.. maybe she pressed the issue a bit, by buying a couple of them and telling me to cook them
)
Anyways… due to its size, I knew I wasn’t just gonna toss that bad boy on the grill so I sous vide it first. I cooked it in the water bath for 6hrs at 131°. Then I removed it and seared it on the BGE until done. Because of the sous vide method, the Picanha was extremely most and it encouraged flair ups in the grill. For the seasoning, I was restricted to salt only. (I snuck in some pepper when she wasn’t looking) I used a specific salt that tastes the same as the kind you would get at a Brazilian steakhouse. It’s like salt concentrate. lol. Anyways. The results were great! (Even though I didn’t cook it in the “traditional” Brazilian fashion of just throwing it on an open grill, standing around it with a group of friends and constantly just cutting pieces off to eat while it cooks. ) Anyone else cook one of these before? What method do you use? My girl has said that once it warms up outside, she (we) will be cooking it the “traditional” way. lol
