Rotisserie Picanha - Help!

[Smoking Piney]

Phellow Pharkers,

I have a small picanha that I want to cook on my Weber rotisserie...with a few questions:

One side or two side heat?

Temp at done to medium rare still around 130-135? Pull before and rest?

About how much time?

I have my seasonings set and I'm just trying to get an idea on the actual cook. I already tried this once and over cooked it. I'm want to get this one right.

I'm looking at impressing my wife. :-D

Any advice would be most welcome.

Oh- you need help COOKING it?

/putting away my "traveling utensils"

I think I'd go 2 sides with drip pan directly under it.

but either way would work

I'm thinking two side coals would give me a better sear, but I'm gun shy after cooking my first attempt two side and over cooking.

It's a small one, so one side on the rotisserie. Take your time. 125F internal, quick sear with some coals right underneath and rest. Done.

If your using a Weber kettle rotisserie, why not spin the Picanha directly over the coals with the lid off.

I do coals one side lid on about 45 min.

I’ve done it once and went directly over coals with the lid on, but lid off would work well too.. the fat dripping and hitting the coals gave great flavor!

Whatever you decide its will be GOOD

 

[Smoking Piney]

Thanks! I'll be cooking this tomorrow straight over a bed of coals. This time, I'm going to stay on top of the cook. :-D

It’s going to come out great! I think mine took just under 20mins but I checked temp every 5 or so. The heat was too much for my meater probe so I bailed on that a couple mins into the cook.

 

[Smoking Piney]

I think I'm going to give it about 10 minutes, check the temp, and ride herd on it to about 125-130.

I am SO looking forward to this cook, even it's only a 2.5 pound pichanha. :-D

You can always toss it back on the grill for a minute or two but you cannot uncook anything.Good Luck.

sounds good, I pulled mine at 125 as well and let it rest a little.

 

[SmokinAussie]

Well. We're waiting!

:hungry:

This picanha did not disappoint. :-D

Seasoned with SuckleBuster's SPG, and cooked directly over the coals. A little less than 20 minutes cook time. Served with home made chimichurri.

Dinner rocked! :-D
