Sword Skewered Picanha Steak

With Chimichurri

Cook Time 30 to 45 Minutes

Serves 5

For the chimichurri

  • 1 bunch freshly flat leaf parsley
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup fresh oregano leaves
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flake
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Champagne vinegar
  • Kosher salt, for seasoning

Pat the pichana dry on all sides with paper towels. With a sharp chef’s knife, cut the pichana with the grain into three (2 1/12 inch steaks). You may have a small tip piece leftover which you can grill as a little treat for yourself. Season the steaks on all sides with kosher salt. Curve the steaks into a C shape with the fat cap on the outside and thread them onto a steak sword or two large skewers.

Remove the steak from the grill and heat the grill to high and then sear the steaks for 4 to 4 minutes per side. Rest the pichana for 15 minutes before slicing.

 

Finely chop the parsley, cilantro and oregano and toss together in a medium bowl. Add the olive oil, red pepper, vinegar, and season with kosher salt..

 

Thinly sliced the pichana across the grain and serve with the chimichurri.
