Description

Simple, grilled picanha roast


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole picanha roast (sirloin cap, rump cap)
  • Steak seasoning of your choice (S&P or Montreal, for instance)

Ingredients for sirloin cap roast


Instructions

  • Use Smoke X2 and Billows BBQ control fan to heat your smoker to 275°F (135°C). Make sure that the air probe is not positioned over any direct heat that may be coming up around the inside edges of your smoker.
  • If the fat cap on your picanha is thicker than you like, trim it. Reducing it to about ¼” is a good plan.

Trimming fat cap from the roast

  • Season the picanha liberally with salt and pepper, or a good quality steak seasoning. Don’t be stingy!

Seasoning the roast

  • Place the picanha on the smoker. Insert Smoke X2’s meat probe and attach it to channel 1. Set the high-temp alarm on channel 1 to 115°F (46°C).

  • Cook.
  • When the alarm sounds, remove the picanha roast from the grill.
  • Prepare your smoker for direct-heat grilling in the appropriate way, or heat a grill.
  • Sear the roast, flipping every minute or so, until the internal temperature comes up to about 123–127°F (51–53°C). Check the temperature regularly with your Thermapen ONE.

Searing the roast over open flame

  • Once the roast has reached its pull temp, take it off the grill and let it rest for a couple minutes.
  • Slice it up and serve it.
  • Enjoy that crisp crust and the edge-to-edge pink tenderness inside!
