sides for a picanha cook.

[fxsales1959]

since it's been a picanha-fest here I could'nt pass on one when they had prime on sale at the meat market. throwing it on this afternoon.
trying to figure out a side. believe it or not I'm not a baked potato fan. hate to only have tots with a prime piece of meat. Mama does the sides, I do the protein.

We love roasted, fresh vegetables...carrots, asparagus, cauliflower, whole green beans, etc. They are a mainstay around here and I just switch it up or combine a couple different ones. Always simple, just drizzle with EVOO and sprinkle with coarse salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Lay flat on a cookie sheet and roast in a 425℉-450℉ oven, tossing occasionally, until they get some color and your desired texture. We like them a little on the raw side...crunchy... Next would be fresh fruit, whatever is available, such as pineapple, cantaloupe, strawberries, grapes, etc. Of course there's always a good salad, but we like an Asian style slaw. Just a couple of ideas...

It may be a bit late to get some of these going but here is a thread I did a while back with some really good side dishes. The heart of palm salad was amazing and is one that can be done last minute.

Brazilian Feast Featuring Picanha Sirloin Roast (Mega Q-View))

Certified Piedmontese Beef is expanding their offerings and recently started offering the Picanha Sirloin Roast, which is the quintessential meat served at high end Brazilian steak houses. I was chatting with Joe at CPB one day while placing an order and he mentioned these roasts and sang the...

Second the Hearts of Palm salad. Robert's version is fantastic.

Why not try a hard-to-find dish with hard-to-find meat? Shishito peppers are a very mild mid-sized pepper with a great flavor. I buy them whenever they are available.

Creamy, Dreamy Shishitos: The Side of the Summer

Creamed shishitos are perfect as a stand-alone side dish, a pizza topping, a taco filling, and so much more.

a nice refreshing 3 bean salad, with a vinagrette dressing, red onion and fresh herbs. There is also the charro beans posted here many times as long as the smoker is out.
