Brazilian Picanha
Type of dish: Beef
Number of persons: 4

A dish with a tail. The picaƱha is one of the more popular pieces of meat on the BBQ in Brazil. On Dutch soil, this delicious piece of meat is also gaining popularity. We cheeseheads call it the tail piece, which is a little less sexy, so we leave that name aside. Before you know it, you are talking about the rump of the animal, and you only need to know that the tip is the most tender and furthermore that it is very tasty and very suitable to roast whole on the BBQ.

Cooking time: 30 |

Temperature: 250Ā°+ , direct

What do you need?

- Approx. 900 gr. veal piccata - 250 ml. olive oil - 2 cloves garlic - 1/2 onion - 1/2 red chilli - 15 gr. fresh thyme - 10 gr. fresh rosemary - 1 tbs. sea salt

Preparation method

Clean the onion, garlic and red pepper and cut them into large pieces. It is better to remove the seeds from the red pepper. Pluck the leaves from the thyme and rosemary sprigs. Put everything together with 250 ml olive oil and sea salt in a tall measuring jug, grind with a hand blender and the herb is ready. Put the mixture in an airtight container so that you can use it at a later date. The start of the tail Take the veal picaƱha out of the fridge half an hour before cooking so that it can catch its breath. Cut the picaƱha widthways into strips of 4 to 5 cm. Thread the strips on the skewer so that the fat side is round. Brush the meat generously with the herb oil. Heat up the BBQ to no less than 300 Ā°C and grill the picaƱha nicely brown on all sides. A cast iron grid is a must to get nice grill marks. When the picaƱha has a nice crust, let it cook on a temperature of about 150 Ā°C until a core temperature of about 54 Ā°C. Let the veal picaƱha rest for another 10 minutes in aluminium foil.
