– Trim silver skin, score fat cap in a crosshatch pattern – Oil and generously salt/season all over – Let sit 1+ hour up to overnight in the refrigerator.

1. Place the picanha fat-side down (closer to the heat) and insert probe thermometer. 2. Cook over indirect heat until it reaches 115°F internal temperature. 3. Remove from the grill and increase heat to high for direct searing. Sear 2 min per side until 130°-135°F for medium-rare.
