If you’re looking to shake up your meals with new cultural cuisines and exciting flavours, you’re in for a treat. Lee from Smoke and Sear has created an amazing Brazilian-inspired platter featuring a classic picanha steak. It’s a great dish the whole family can pick at and enjoy. See how to make it yourself below…
For the Pao de Queijo (Brazilian cheese bread)
For the sweet potato wedges
For the carnival confetti salsa
This platter has a nice range of components to it already, but it can be paired with a nice refreshing Brazilian beer or caipirinha cocktail. Also, as a non-alcoholic option a tropical punch or fresh limeade would work beautifully with this dish.
The upper muscle of the cow is known as the picanha but in UK this cut of meat is also known as the rump cap.
Due to the nice outer fat cap on the meat, picanha steaks are very tender and full of juicy flavour and goodness. Ribeyes can also be very tender, but they typically have more marbling than picanha.
