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!
