Picanha - smoked and seared

[TheHojo]

Got some beef from a local rancher today - tried the picanha this evening - meat was spot on - tender and a great taste

Did a dry brine with some kosher salt a couple hours before throwing on the smoker - then added a little olive oil, 16 mesh pepper and garlic powder

Smoked for about 90 minutes until IT hit 125 - pulled and rested for 10 minutes - them thru it on the kettle for a quick reverse sear





Closed out the meal with some smoked corn on the cob and baked potatoes

Four or five slices on some bread please, and make sure to leave the fat on.
Looks good.

I was skeptical to try it, but it is an amazing cut. Yours looks fantastic!

Yes it is, and when it's done so nicely as the OP, you cannot beat the flavor.
Costco by me is carrying it now year-round. Ain't that nice!
I'm tending to try and just about burn the fat cap at the very end to render it more and also it becomes a sort of crackling.

I will take four or five aswell, but you can cut off the fat and give it to NZ
