The BEST Wagyu Picanha Recipe | Santa Maria Grill

wagyu picanha

🥗Healthier: grass-fed beef

💰Cheaper: sirloin

Grass-fed beef is leaner, while sirloin is more affordable.

Open the wagyu picanha and trim a minimal amount of silver skin from the fat side without cutting into the meat.

Cut the picanha into three steaks, ensuring to cut against the grain for serving.

Season the steaks generously with double secret seasoning on all sides.

Let the seasoned steaks rest briefly before cooking.

Prepare the Santa Maria Grill with a bed of coals for cooking.

Cook the steaks on the grill for 6 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 6 minutes.

Check the internal temperature; continue cooking until it reaches about 124°F.

Lower the steaks into the hotter part of the grill to sear the fat cap for additional flavor.

After cooking, let the steaks rest briefly before slicing against the grain for serving.
