Are you craving a juicy and flavorful picanha but don’t have access to a grill? No worries! You can still enjoy this mouth-watering Brazilian cut of beef by cooking it in a frying pan. In this article, we will guide you through a simple and delicious recipe to cook picanha in a frying pan. Let’s get started!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of picanha (Brazilian top sirloin cap)
  • 2 tablespoons of coarse sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon of black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Instructions

1. Start by preparing the picanha. Remove any excess fat on the surface, but make sure to leave a thin layer intact as it will enhance the flavor and juiciness of the meat.

2. Preheat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. It’s important to use a heavy-bottomed pan to ensure even heat distribution.

3. While the pan is heating up, season the picanha generously with coarse sea salt and black pepper. Ensure that all sides of the meat are coated, gently pressing the seasoning into the surface.

4. Once the pan is hot, drizzle olive oil over it and carefully place the picanha fat-side down. The fat will render and provide extra flavor to the meat while creating a delicious crust.

5. Allow the picanha to cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes or until a golden brown crust forms. Using tongs, carefully flip the meat to sear the other side for an additional 5 minutes.

6. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking the picanha for another 8-10 minutes, flipping it occasionally to ensure even cooking. The internal temperature should reach around 135°F (medium-rare) to 145°F (medium) for a perfect result.

7. Once the desired doneness is reached, remove the picanha from the pan and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute within the meat, resulting in a tender and flavorful steak.

8. After resting, slice the picanha against the grain into thin strips, ensuring each piece retains the mouth-watering juiciness of the meat.

9. Serve your deliciously cooked picanha with a side of chimichurri sauce or your favorite steak sauce. Pair it with some grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal!

Now that you know how to cook picanha in a frying pan, there’s no need to wait for a grill to enjoy this delectable Brazilian beef cut. Follow these easy steps and impress your family and friends with a perfectly cooked picanha!

Remember, practice makes perfect, so don’t be discouraged if your first attempt isn’t flawless. With time and experience, you’ll become a picanha-cooking pro!
