Awesome looking meal, but I have to sayI could eat that whole key lime pie!

Thanks Al!! I must warn you though sir. If you try taking that whole pie you might find a fork embedded into the back of your hand

Nicely done. The meat looks perfect. Picanha is a great cut that is not Premium cut expensive. Great Roast or Steaks for us fixed income folks

Appreciate it Jimmy and you're correct. A really good cut of meat at a very reasonable price point.

Carousel worthy for sure.

How did you make the filling for the pie? Juice, condensed milk, and egg yolks?

Very much appreciate the kind words Derek. The filling is SO easy to do:

2 cans sweetened condensed milk (14oz. Can)
1/2c. Sour Cream
3/4c. Key Lime juice (Nellie & Joe’s)
1T. Grated lime zest

Mix everything together (I use an electric hand mixer), put into a 9" graham cracker crust and bake at 375 for 7 to 8 minutes just to set the filling. Do not brown it though. remove, let cool (which only takes a couple minutes) then into the fridge. From there it's done unless you want to add whipped cream. I use heavy cream and beat the heck out of it to make the real stuff. So much better than Cool Whip!!

I have to agree Robert, looks perfect!

Thanks Dave!! Once again it proves how having a good instant read thermometer can take the guess work out of cooking the meat.

Oh man. That hunk o' meat looks great. Like your choice of wood, although you probably didn't need any.

Very much appreciate it. I was just looking to get a hint of the mesquite, not totally smoke it like a brisket. Made for a really nice flavor combination.

Nice meal there Robert! Never had beef picanha that I know of...looks great!

Thank you Keith. Picanha is the main meat served in the top shelf Brazilian steak houses. Obviously it's from the sirloin and is just an excellent cut.

Perfect meal and a great presentation. Huge like my friend!

Very much appreciate it Steve!! I wasn't planning anything really special. Nice yes but nothing over the top. This just all came together really well.

Robert, you never to cease to amaze me with your meals. Everything looks delicious.

Thank you so much Rob but it was a pretty simple meal. Meat, taters, gravy, and veggies, that's it. I was really happy with it though.

Thanks Derek. I love the added vibrancy from the lime zest on top of the whipped cream. Really adds a nice touch

Man Robert ! What a fantastic meal! And all the contribution from The Forum that made that happen how awesome is that!

 

[BrianGSDTexoma]

My gosh Robert. You been taking lessons from Jeff. That plating is a work of art. Those potatoes look to die for. Meat perfect. A solid home run!

 

[Bearcarver]

Awesome!!
Somehow I dropped into this thread at the bottom, so I read a few posts on the way to the Post #1 Pics. I thought, "Wow, this is Awesome!!" Then I got to the beginning & saw it was My Friend Robert, and I thought "No Wonder it looks so Good!!!!
Like.

Robert a meal fit for royalty for sure! It’s been awhile since I’ve made the heart of palm salad. I’ll have to change that! I’ve never had picanha, I’ll need to change that too.

 

[GaryHibbert]

Thanks so much Gary. the pie is so simple to do. Only 4 ingredients to make it. If you whip the cream for the topping that makes 5. Super easy and fast. I'll share the recipe if you'd like.

That would be great, Robert. I really really love key lime pie!!!!!!!!!!

Wow my friend, that is one top notch meal! You had some lucky guests! I really want to try picanha, but haven’t had any luck finding it here… Anyway, again… top notch stuff there Robert!

 

[Brokenhandle]

Howdy guys. Apologies for the delay in responding. Life has kinda gotten in the way these past few days. I did in fact post the recipe in reply #22 but I can see how it got overlooked. Happens to me all the darned time but here ya go. So simple, so delicious. You can get the Nellie and Joe's Key Lime juice on Amazon.

2 cans sweetened condensed milk (14oz. Can)
1/2c. Sour Cream
3/4c. Key Lime juice (Nellie & Joe’s)
1T. Grated lime zest

Mix everything together (I use an electric hand mixer), put into a 9" graham cracker crust and bake at 375 for 7 to 8 minutes just to set the filling. Do not brown it though. remove, let cool (which only takes a couple minutes) then into the fridge. From there it's done unless you want to add whipped cream.
