Name: Brazilian Picanha Skewers with Chimichurri Sauce
Prep time: 15
Cook time: 20
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 12
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: whole Picanha roast (about 3-4 lbs); Tbsp. Coarse kosher salt; Tbsp. Freshly ground black pepper; Skewers (metal or water-soaked wooden skewers); cloves garlic; cup packed fresh cilantro; cup packed fresh parsley; cup olive oil; Tbsp. fresh lemon juice; tsp. salt; tsp. freshly grated lemon peel; tsp. crushed red pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare Chimichurri Sauce. Place garlic in a food processor container. Cover; process until finely chopped. Add remaining sauce ingredients. Cover; process until well blended. Remove and refrigerate.
Step 2

Trim the Picanha roast, leaving a ¼-inch fat cap for flavor.
Step 3

Slice the roast against the grain into 1 ½-inch steaks, then cut into smaller, even pieces about 2 inches wide.
Step 4

Thread the pieces onto skewers in a horseshoe shape, with the fat cap on the outside.
Step 5

Generously season the skewered meat on all sides with coarse salt and black pepper.
Step 6

Preheat your grill to MEDIUM-HIGH heat (about 400°F).
Step 7

Place the skewers fat-side down over direct heat and grill for 2-3 minutes to render the fat and create a golden crust.
Step 8

Rotate the skewers and continue grilling, turning frequently, until all sides are evenly seared and the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare, about 8-10 minutes total.
Step 9

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. The internal temperature of the beef will rise 10-15°F for medium-rare (145°F).
Step 10

Drizzle the chimichurri sauce generously over the skewers and serve with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal. Keep extra chimichurri on the side for dipping!

Cooking Tip: Pair with a crisp salad or roasted potatoes for a balanced, flavorful feast!
