Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lb Picanha roast
  • 3 tbsp your favorite BBQ rub (You can use 1 tbsp each of salt, pepper, garlic powder or any beef seasoning or just kosher salt and black pepper)

Instructions
 

  • Remove picanha from fridge, pat dry, trim visible silver skin, and cut fat cap to about half an inch. Score fat cap if desired (slice shallow cuts in X formations)
  • Apply a generous layer of beef rub, salt, pepper, and garlic, massaging it into the meat.
  • Preheat charcoal smoker (we used a Green Egg) to a steady 250-275°F. Add chunks of hickory wood for smoke. Place picanha on grill grates and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 110°F. Remove from smoker and tent with foil.
  • Heat grill to 500°F+. Sear picanha on both sides until it achieves grill marks. Be careful with the fat cap side to avoid burning. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Slice picanha against the grain into thin or thick portions as desired. Sprinkle with coarse kosher salt before serving warm.
