    Why didn’t I find out about picanha sooner? My Dad never told me about PICANHA!!! Sure he gave me fajitas and ribeyes and beef ribs… BUT WHAT ABOUT PICANHA! Why don’t more people talk about and cook this delicious steak.
    In this video I’m gonna show you two different ways to grill picanha perfectly.
    We’re gonna set up our Weber for dual zone cooking and we’re gonna start by smoking both picanhas with an indirect fire first.
    When they hit about 135, we’re gonna take one of them out, slice it against the grain into 1 and ¼ inch steaks, then put them back on the grill over direct heat for about one minute on each side, giving them that delicious char flavor.
    For the second picanha, we’re gonna flippity flip that one directly over the fire a couple of times, again, to give the outside of that steak that amazing maillard reaction flavor.

      @@ziggybender9125 Thats because it's a part of the Top Sirloin. If you look at a Top Sirloin it looks like one large piece of beef eith a small "triangle" shaped section on one side about 3 inches wide and 6 inches long with a thick layer of fat on the outside. The butchers usually trim that off BUT ask them to leave it on. Its always my first section of the tseak to eat.

      @@nickera5492 Excellent comments! And what about that other "trash" cut of the cow...the Skirt Steak? NOBODY wanted to cook that until about the mid 70s when you could buy it for less than $1.00 a pound. Then some smart Mexicans in South Texas invented something called a "fajita" which gained popularity thru the 80s and 90s when it exploded into nearly every restaurant chain where it is today. Now its nearly impossible to even FIND skirt steak in a grocery store because there is simply too high demand from restaurants and when you do find it it is priced so high (typically $12+/lb) that it is actually CHEAPER to buy RIBEYE steaks...and I do for $6.99 a pound at least once a month at Safeway. Last time skirt steak was on sale was well over a year ago for $5.99 a pound.

    Had Picanha many years ago in Medellin, Colombia for the first time. Came home to CA and couldn’t find the cut anywhere. Special ordered it from a butcher with a huge thick fat cap (we never trim the fat cap) then tried to prepare and grill it like the Colombian chef over coals. Cut cross hatch through the fat, grill seasoned generously with salt and pepper to almost desired temp making sure to render and almost char that fat cap. Place in a preheated cast iron skillet add a lot of gee, sprigs of rosemary and thyme baste the steak flipping every minute until desired cook is reached. Let it rest! Best steak we’ve ever eaten.

      If you can get a sirloin steak you should be able to get a picanha. Most sirloin steaks have a little bit of picanha attached to it, but if the butcher is willing they can easily separate the two muscles before cutting it into steaks.

    Arnie Tex, I love your channel and all that you teach us. I've got a tip for you when I comes to Picanha. You grilled the entire Picanha and then cut it into steaks and then grilled the individual steaks again to sear the outside. I recommend you cut the steaks first and then grill them individually- Notice how much juice you lost on the cutting board when you cut the cooked Picanha into steaks? If you cut the steaks when the Picanha is raw, you will not lose any juices. Another advantage to this method ? I buy several whole picanhas at once, cut them into steaks , vacuum seal them individually and freeze them...that way I can pull just the number of steaks I need when I'm ready to cook. If I'm cooking for just myself and my wife- I don't want to cook an entire Picanha.( Let's face it- leftover steak the next day is just not as good) Thanks again for the channel and your wonderful videos. Cheers.

    I prefer more fat

    You are taking the original flavor of the picanha away with those seasonings all it needs is the thick salt the brasilian way

    Removing fat from picanha is a crime in Brazil and Argentina haha. Just salt and the flavor from the fat, no seasoning. If you want, remove it after cooking.
    I find really strange the amount of seasoning people in the US put on the meet. But good job nice bbq.
