Cooking Method

  1. Set up grill for direct grilling and stabilise the temperature at 230c+.
  2. Remove steak from packaging and pat dry with a paper towel.
  3. Using a sharp knife score the fat cap in a diamond formation, this will help render the fat during the cooking process.
  4. Against the grain, cut the steak into slices.
  5. Curl the steak onto “C” shapes and skewer through the centre. Ensure the thickest part is in the centre of the skewer.
  6. Heavily salt the steak, ensure plenty of salt is on the fat cap.
  7. Grill the steaks, turning occasional until the fat cap has rendered.
  8. Remove from heat when the steaks have reached your desired doneness.
  9. Slice and enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Depending on how you like your beef cooked, it’s best to measure the internal temperature of the picanha steak rather than relying on cooking times.

  • Rare: 120-130 degrees.
  • Medium rare: 130-140 degrees.
  • Medium: 140-150 degrees.
