Cut the picanha into steaks, ensuring to cut with the grain for tenderness.

Trim some excess fat from the picanha, leaving a layer of fat for flavor.

Season the picanha steaks generously with coarse salt on both sides and let them sit for a bit.

Preheat the SNS Kettle Grill.

Cook the picanha steaks until they reach an internal temperature of 125°F (52°C).

Prepare cheesy bread by mixing wet ingredients, tapioca starch, and mozzarella cheese in a blender.

Grease a mini muffin tin with oil using a paper towel to prevent sticking.

Fill the muffin tin with the batter, leaving some space as they will rise during cooking.

Bake the cheesy bread in a preheated oven at 350°F (177°C) for about 20 minutes.

Check the cheesy bread; they should be crispy on the bottom and soft inside.

Sear the picanha steaks on the grill for a good texture, being cautious of the fat dripping onto the coals.

Slice the picanha to check doneness and serve with the cheesy bread.
