Avocado oil has a higher smoke point.

Pat dry all sides of the picanha steak using paper towels.

Trim the fat cap to about 1/4 inch thick.

Score the fat cap in a diamond pattern using a knife.

Measure out 1 tablespoon of Weber's smoky mosquite seasoning and 2 tablespoons of rosemary salt, and mix them together with a spoon.

Rub the seasoning into the fat side of the steak, ensuring it's well coated.

Turn the steak on its side and rub more seasoning onto that side.

Flip the steak and rub seasoning onto the backside, ensuring all surfaces are covered.

Transfer the seasoned steak fat side up to an elevated oven rack above a tray.

Preheat the oven to 275°F.

Cook the steak in the oven for about 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches about 115°F.

Trim the stems of the asparagus, wash, and pat dry, then add to a baking sheet.

Cut the potatoes in half and add to a baking sheet.

Drizzle oil over the potatoes and asparagus, toss to coat, and add about 1 teaspoon of salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes while heating the broiler to high.

Place the steak back in the oven about 6 inches away from the broiler to render the fat cap.

Watch carefully as it can quickly burn, starting at about 6 inches and gradually lowering to about 12 inches.

After about 3 to 5 minutes, check if the fat cap is rendered, then turn off the oven and let it sit in the warm oven for about 10 minutes until the internal temperature reaches about 135°F.

Remove the steak from the oven and put the potatoes and asparagus in, turning the broiler back on.

Let the potatoes roast for about 10 minutes and the asparagus for about 4 to 5 minutes.

Cut into the steak and serve, noting the top side may be more well done than the bottom due to the broiler.

Plate everything up for serving.
