Using the whole piece
It is very common to serve meat roasted in the oven, as this allows it to cook evenly, in addition to being simple to make. Therefore, it is also not necessary to use very different seasonings to prepare this type of meat. The golden tip is that the picanha is made with the fat facing upwards so that it melts, leaving the piece juicier and more delicious.
To prepare this meat, first cover the bottom of a baking dish with 1 kg of coarse salt and place the top sirloin steak on top. Then cover it with the rest of the salt and take the baking sheet to the oven. Finally, remove the layer of salt and cut into slices, placing the sauce over the meat. Another important tip is that the picanha can be put to bake even frozen.
How to cut picanha into strips?
The easiest way to cut picanha is in strips, always cutting from the fat, in an elongated way. Then season to taste, so you will always have strips of meat ready to be prepared as you prefer. A good tip is to remove the tip of the picanha and use it as part of the appetizer.
Still, if you prefer, you can seal the picanha before cutting or seasoning. It is then necessary to take the whole piece and grill it, always starting with the fat part, until it starts dripping. Then seal the other part and wait for three minutes. Finally, cut it into strips and now you can start seasoning it so you can really grill it.
BBQ skewer cut
To make the skewers, you must cut the pieces around 3 to 4 centimeters, without removing the fat. Afterwards, just salt the meat with thick salt and take it to bake on the grill. In addition, it is important to place the pieces of sirloin steak with the fat in contact with the next piece of meat, giving the skewer more succulence.
