Miami's vibrant culinary scene is a melting pot of cultures, and Brazilian flavors hold a special place in our hearts. One of the most iconic dishes of Brazilian churrascaria (barbecue) is Picanha, also known as rump cap. This cut, known for its juicy tenderness and flavorful fat cap, is a true crowd-pleaser.
Today, Reserva Meat brings you a recipe for a Picanha fit for a Miami backyard churrasco. Using a USDA Prime Picanha, we'll guide you through the simple steps to prepare this Brazilian classic.
Ingredients:
- 1 (2-3 pound) USDA Prime Picanha (Rump Cap)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup coarse sea salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Trim the excess fat from the Picanha, leaving a thin layer of fat for flavor.
- In a small bowl, combine the coarse sea salt and olive oil. Rub the mixture all over the Picanha, making sure to get into the crevices.
- Place the Picanha on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
- Remove the Picanha from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- To serve, slice the Picanha against the grain and sprinkle with fresh parsley and scallions.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, marinate the Picanha in your favorite Brazilian marinade for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the Picanha in a preheated oven at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
- Serve the Picanha with your favorite Brazilian sides, such as farofa (toasted cassava flour), arroz feijão (rice and beans), and vinagrete (Brazilian vinaigrette).
Additional Information:
