Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Picanha Churrascaria Style.
Step 1
Start by creating a flavorful garlic paste by combining crushed garlic with kosher salt in a bowl, mixing until smooth.
Step 2
Generously rub this aromatic paste all over the beef top sirloin, ensuring every inch is coated.
Step 3
Transfer the seasoned meat to a bowl and drizzle fresh lemon juice over it, then cover and let it marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for a deeper flavor infusion.
Step 4
Once marinated, take the beef out of the lemon juice and lightly baste it with olive oil to enhance its richness.
Step 5
Preheat your outdoor grill to high heat, and don’t forget to lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Place the marinated beef on the grill, cooking for about 5 minutes while turning frequently until the edges are beautifully charred, leaving the center rare.
Step 7
Remove the beef from the grill and carefully slice off the charred edges, cutting against the grain for tenderness.
Step 8
Return the uncooked center portion to the grill, cooking for an additional 5 minutes on each side, or until the meat is firm and hot with a hint of pink in the center.
Step 9
For perfect doneness, an instant-read thermometer should register 140°F (60°C).
Step 10
Enjoy the deliciously grilled beef, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked to your liking.
