Live: Picanha on the Weber

[SmokinAussie]

G'Day Bruces! :becky:

I was a bit lucky yesterday at the local grocer. This is a Bass Straight Grass Fed Picanha at 40% off.

So we know what's gonna happen don't we fellas. :nod: Picanha Battle with Dom!

First. Front and Back pics:

SLiced about an inch thick.

The players: (Sadly no more Carne Crosta)

Seasoned and in the fridge now. Will be lighting the Weber soon.

Cheers!

Skewered:

Had these for years. I think only used once before.

Coals are almost ready!

Two Pichana's for the beef challenge it seems.
My hangers are still wet aging. Not sure i will have time for this challenge.
About the skewers, I have two sets of Stainless Steel double prong skewers i use for ground beef kabobs.
I would love to cook Picanha but...

That said, Im not allowed to buy anymore beef this year. I just bought 25+ lbs of ribeye's for $120usd


Instead of cooking this week, im going to be slicing and vacuum sealing.

Well, it's a little after 11am on Monday in upside down land. Thinking Bill is probably at work.

Sounds like a lame excuse to me…:laugh:

Come on, Bill! Just clicking refresh while I sit next to a simmering pot of beef stock! :becky:

THIS is a forum injustice!!!

I hate live cooks.

Correct Andy. Ambulance shift early start. Just got back. Pouring 2 fingers of Scotch and completing the post now.

Sorry for the wait.

Cheers!

OK Fellas...

Sorry for the long interval. Had visitors and then had an early start today. 10+ hours in an Ambulance. Saw some bad sh!t today I started to wonder if some part of Melbourne had started to turn into some part of Alabama (no disrespect to any Alabamans out there, but I hope you get my drift)

OK. Enough chit chat...

Made a HOT fire:

Yep. probably too hot using very old oak flooring offcuts and some charcoal. I was thinking Brazilian hot fire and picanha, so why not.

Coupla quick shots here as the action was a bit serious. This is why a Santa Maria Grill is an amazing thing and I really want one now. Had to go flipetty flip flip in quick order!

Yep, so it looked like it got away from me but it really didn't, being a seasoned BBQ Brethren with "Somebody Shut Me the Fark Up" Creds.

Anyway after resting..... 2 bits looked like this:

But sliced turned out like this....

Bloody nice.

Thanks for looking!

I will admit it was worth the wait Bill.

I've only done picanha steaks a couple of times. I didn't use the skewers, just grilled them like ribeyes. Are the skewers and "curved" cooking functional or just traditional?

 

[snadamo]

I will admit it was worth the wait Bill.

Agree with Marty. Certainly worth the wait! You certainly ate good that night!
