Went to our local Bi-Rite yesterday to order some beef short ribs and spied a few sirloin caps. Never seen them around here before so snatched one up. This one is about 2.5lbs. Did a quick search for "picanha" here but couldn't nail down a technique. I'd like to cut it in strips and skewer it but could really use some direction here. I'll be cooking on a Weber kettle and can use briquettes or lump.

Trim it to square some like-sized pieces and skewer them like a "C" with the fat cap facing out. You can use a rotisserie spit rod if you have one. Build a hot charcoal fire and cook the outer layers flipping the meat as you go. Then slice off thin layers of meat at your desired doneness and re-salt the meat each time.

Grant does point to my method of roasting it, which works well for me. If you want to skewer gaucho style simply slice into 1 1/2" -2" thick strips WITH the grain (or the long way) of the roast. Be sure to leave the fat cap on, no less than 1/4". Skewer them in a C-shape like the pictures show. The South Americans simply use rock salt then cook them over open flames. I like to dry brine then use pepper, but that's certainly a personal taste. Once they are done and de-skewered, cut pieces against the grain or the short way. Cook them to the degree you normally would cook any rare steak, I like mine around 120-122* with a rest that brings it into the high 120s. Good luck !!

When you're looking at the meat side, you'll notice 3 veins where blood flowed. The strips that you cut between the 1st and 3rd vein will be the most tender. The strips you cut before the 1st vein and after the third vein will be a little more chewy. Great piece of meat, unfortunately, Costco now slices the cap into steaks and removes all the fat.

I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I put it in my food.
One cannot have too many grills.

CaptainMike I need some skewers like that. Cooked this way last night on the Smokey Joe. Removed the top grate and placed the skewers across the top edge but (1) they weren't really long enough and (2) they kept flipping over so the fat side was down and making it flame up pretty bad. I only used a little lump and had it spread out pretty good. Meat tasted great but was a little on the rare side.
