Ingredients

  • 3 lb picanha (top sirloin cap), fat cap on
  • 3 tablespoons Kinder's Brazilian Steakhouse seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon coarse salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Chimichurri sauce for serving
  • Farofa (toasted cassava flour) for serving, optional

Instructions

  1. 1

    Score the fat cap in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.

  2. 2

    Cut the picanha into 3-inch thick steaks, cutting with the grain of the meat.

  3. 3

    Season all sides generously with Kinder's Brazilian Steakhouse seasoning and coarse salt.

  4. 4

    Curl each steak into a C-shape and skewer if using a rotisserie, or leave flat for grill grates.

  5. 5

    Preheat grill to high heat (500F+).

  6. 6

    Sear each side for 3-4 minutes until a deep crust forms.

  7. 7

    Move to indirect heat and cook to desired doneness (130F for medium-rare, about 10-12 more minutes).

  8. 8

    Rest for 10 minutes before slicing thin against the grain. Serve with chimichurri.

Pro Tips

  • *Keep the fat cap on — it bastes the meat as it cooks and adds incredible flavor.
  • *Medium-rare (130F) is the traditional and ideal doneness for picanha.
  • *Slice thin against the grain for the most tender bites.
  • *If you can't find picanha, a thick-cut top sirloin works as a substitute.
