Equipment

  • Grill or Smoker
  • Rotisserie (not required but better)

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 pound Picanha also called coulotte or rump cap
  • Coarse Kosher Salt

Garlic Baste

  • ¼ cup Olive Oil
  • 1 Tab Garlic Squeeze, paste, or fresh chopped garlic
  • 1 tea Lemon Juice

Instructions
 

  • Dry the picanha, then slice (against the grain) into 3-4 pieces.
  • Form each piece into a C shape and place on a skewer or rotisserie skewer.
  • Salt liberally with coarse kosher or sea salt.

Garlic Baste

  • Add all ingredients for the garlic baste in a small bowl and stir to combine well.

Cooking the picanha

  • If using a rotisserie, heat the grill or smoker to about 300 degrees. Cook the picanha to desired temp, basting with the garlic oil every 10-15 minutes.
  • If cooking on a traditional grill or smoker, sear each side of the picanha for about 3 minutes, then cook over indirect heat until you reach desired temp. Baste with the garlic oil about every 15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and rest for about 5 minutes.
  • Thinly slice the meat off the skewer and serve with black beans and white rice.

Notes

  • The smaller pieces will be more done than the larger pieces, enabling you to serve meat to different doneness preferences.
