Picanha Grilled on Wood BBQ

Method

1. Pat the picanha dry with paper towels to remove excess blood.
2. Light a wood fire in the barbecue and let it burn down to glowing embers.
3. Rub the picanha with a little olive oil.
4. (Optional) Trim off any tough connective tissue.
5. Place the picanha on the grill, fat side down, over high heat.

8. Remove from the grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes.
9. Slice against the grain into thick slices and serve immediately.
