Preparation Instructions

Method 1: Traditional Brazilian-Style Grilled Picanha

Bring to Room Temperature
Remove the Abatti Ranch American Wagyu Picanha from the refrigerator and allow it to rest for 30–45 minutes before cooking.
Prepare the Fat Cap
Leave the fat cap intact and score lightly in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.
Season Generously
Season all sides with coarse kosher salt. Optional: add freshly cracked black pepper after cooking.
Preheat the Grill
Set up a two-zone grill with a high-heat side and a medium-heat side. Target temperature: 450–500°F (232–260°C).
Sear the Fat Cap First
Place the steak fat-side down over direct heat for 3–4 minutes to render and crisp the fat. Flip and sear the meat side for another 3–4 minutes.
Finish Over Indirect Heat
Move the steak to the cooler side of the grill and cook until desired doneness.
Approximate internal temperatures:
- Rare: 120–125°F (49–52°C)
- Medium-Rare: 130–135°F (54–57°C)
- Medium: 140–145°F (60–63°C)
- Medium-Well: 150–155°F (65–68°C)
- Well-Done: 160°F+ (71°C+)
Rest Before Serving
Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice Correctly
Slice against the grain into thin strips for maximum tenderness and flavor.

Method 2: Reverse-Sear American Wagyu Picanha

Season the Steak
Season generously with kosher salt and optional black pepper.
Slow Roast First
Place the picanha on a wire rack and cook in a preheated oven or smoker at 250°F (121°C).
Cook to Pre-Sear Temperature
Cook until the internal temperature reaches approximately:
- Rare: 110°F (43°C)
- Medium-Rare: 120°F (49°C)
- Medium: 130°F (54°C)
Heat Grill or Cast-Iron
Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet to high heat, approximately 500°F+ (260°C+).
Sear for a Crust
Sear the fat cap and all sides for 1–2 minutes per side until a rich golden-brown crust develops.
Final Internal Temperatures
Remove from heat when internal temperature reaches:
- Rare: 120–125°F (49–52°C)
- Medium-Rare (Recommended): 130–135°F (54–57°C)
- Medium: 140–145°F (60–63°C)
- Medium-Well: 150–155°F (65–68°C)
