Lordy lordy Steve!! That meal is absolutely spectacular. What a fantastic cook and a first class presentation. There is nothing at all not to love about that whole prep and cook. Perfection on a plate and congrats on a much deserved carousel ride.

One of my favorites: twice cooked picanha.

2.2 lb picanha from grocery, trim to 1/4" fat cap, score, dry brine.

Cook picanha at low heat, 30-60 minutes depending on thickness, fat cp mostly down, to IT of 110F.
Roast potatoes in coals until soft, 30-60 minutes.

And maybe grill up some spinach too, with EVO and garlic, only a couple of minutes until soft, with tossing.

thanks for looking

My meat shop started offering pre-sliced picanha. I wonder how much I'd lose in translation since I'm inherently lazy.

I only gave this one a like earlier since I had mine sitting in the throwdown but now I can add that that look phenomenal.

I think picanha turns out great no matter how you cook it. Get the pre sliced steaks and grill 'em up. You'll like it.
