Grilled Picanha Beef
Ingredients
  • 3 cloves garlic cloves, crushed, or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
  • 1 pound beef top sirloin, trimmed of excess fat
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
Instructions
1
Combine minced garlic and salt in a bowl, blending them until they form a smooth, cohesive mixture.
2
Apply this garlic-salt paste evenly to the meat, ensuring it's fully coated. Place the meat in a bowl and pour over it a generous amount of lemon juice, allowing it to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
3
After the meat has absorbed the desired flavors, remove it from the lemon juice and brush it with olive oil to keep it moist.
4
Heat up an outdoor grill to extremely high temperatures and lightly grease the grill's surface with oil.
5
Sear the meat on the preheated grill, constantly turning it to achieve an even sear and char on the outer edges. This should take around 5 minutes.
6
Once cooked, remove the meat from the grill and carefully trim away any charred edges, cutting in the direction of the meat's fibers.
7
Return the uncooked center portion of the meat to the grill and continue cooking until it starts to firm up, becomes hot, and retains a slight pink hue in the center. This should take an additional 5 minutes per side.
8
To ensure the meat is cooked to perfection, insert an instant-read thermometer into the center and verify that it reaches a temperature of 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
