Instructions
- Mix the garlic aioli and lemon juice in a small bowl and refrigerate until needed.
- Thinly slice the red onion and toss with about a tablespoon of salt. Let set for about 15 minutes then cover with cold water and let sit for 1-2 hours.
- Rinse the onions and pat dry or dry with a salad spinner. Mix with the remaining criolla salsa ingredients and refrigerate until needed.
- Trim any discolored fat from the picanha but leave the fat cap intact. Make cross hatch cuts into the fat cap, about ¼ inch deep.
- Pat the picanha roast dry and season both sides with the BBQ rub or steak seasoning.
- Heat your grill or smoker to 400 degrees and set up for direct heat. Cook the picanha, starting with the fat cap down, flipping about every 10-15 minutes. Continue to cook to an internal temperature of about 128 degrees (for medium rare) then remove from the smoker. Rest on a cutting board, tented with foil, for about 5-10 minutes.
- Thinly slice the picanha roast, against the grain.
- Spread some garlic lemon aioli on both halves of the bolillo roll. Top with sliced picanha and then top with the salsa criolla.
- Enjoy while warm.
