Picanha na Brasa

Ingredients

  • 2.5 tsp Coarse Salt
  • 2 pcs Garlic
  • 1 pcs Onion
  • 10 g Parsley
  • 1 pcs Lime
  • 500 g Picanha
  • 1 cups Cassava Flour
  • 1 pcs Egg
  • 2 tbsp Butter

Method

  1. Mince {garlic}, dice {onion}, chop {parsley}, and slice {lime} so everything is ready for a fast finish.
  2. Pat {picanha} dry so it browns properly, then season generously on all sides with {coarse_salt}.
  3. Cook {picanha} over medium indirect charcoal heat, fat side facing the hotter zone first, turning until deeply browned, lightly crisp at the edges, and the center reaches medium-rare. Avoid crowding so the surface roasts instead of steams.
  4. Melt {butter} in a large skillet over medium heat, add {onion} with a pinch of {coarse_salt} and cook until softened and translucent. Stir in {garlic} until fragrant, add {egg} and cook until softly set, then add {cassava_flour} and toast, stirring constantly, until golden, nutty, and crisp. Fold in {parsley} for freshness.
  5. Rest {picanha} on a warm plate so the juices settle and the meat stays succulent when sliced.
  6. Slice {picanha} across the grain, serve with {cassava_flour} farofa, and finish with {lime} for a bright final lift.
