Unsaved Pan Seared Picanha Steak

Ingredients

  • 1/2 tsp Cracked black pepper
  • 1 1/2 lb Fresh beef sirloin picanha roast, room temperature
  • 2 Fresh thyme, sprigs
  • 2 Garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp Grapeseed oil
  • 2 tbsp Kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp Unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Using a chef's knife, score fat side of picanha but be careful not to cut into actual meat. Cut with the grain into 2 steaks. If beef is larger, cut into 3 steaks then season with salt.
  2. Place a cast iron pot or heavy bottomed sauté pan over medium heat. Once pan is hot, add grapeseed oil.
  3. Place picanha fat-side down in pan along with garlic. Cook 4 minutes then add thyme, butter and black pepper. Turn meat and brown all sides for about 1 to 2 minutes per side while basting with butter.
  4. Transfer to a plate and allow to rest 5 to 10 minutes (very important, do not cut immediately).
  5. Slice picanha against the grain in thin slices and serve!
  6. Chef's Note: Serve pan drippings over meat as desired.
