Picanha with Garlic

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb picanha steak
• 6 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the 1.5 lb picanha dry with paper towels. Score the fat cap in a crosshatch pattern, then season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.

2. 2

   Heat a large skillet over high heat for 2 minutes. Add 2 tbsp olive oil and place the steak fat-side down. Sear until the fat is golden and crispy, about 4 minutes.

3. 3

   Flip the steak and add 6 garlic cloves, smashed. Cook for 3-4 minutes, basting the steak with the garlic-infused oil, until the steak reaches your desired doneness (125°F for medium-rare).

4. 4

   Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve with the garlic cloves and pan juices.
