Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs of picanha steak
- 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak:
- Slice the picanha against the grain into thick steaks, keeping the fat cap intact.
- Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Make the Garlic Butter:
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat.
- Grill the Steak:
- Preheat the grill to high. Place steaks on the grill, fat cap side down first, to render some of the fat.
- Grill each side for about 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preference.
- Apply the Garlic Butter:
- Brush the garlic butter mixture over the steaks during the last minute of grilling.
- Rest and Serve:
- Let the steaks rest for about 5 minutes after grilling. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
