Garlic Baste
    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all ingredients for the garlic baste in a small bowl and stir to combine well.
Cooking the picanha
  1. If using a rotisserie, heat the grill or smoker to about 300 degrees. Cook the picanha to desired temp, basting with the garlic oil every 10-15 minutes.
  2. If cooking on a traditional grill or smoker, sear each side of the picanha for about 3 minutes, then cook over indirect heat until you reach desired temp. Baste with the garlic oil about every 15 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and rest for about 5 minutes.
  4. Thinly slice the meat off the skewer and serve with black beans and white rice.

Notes

  • The smaller pieces will be more done than the larger pieces, enabling you to serve meat to different doneness preferences.
