1

Remove the silver skin from the back of the picanha using a sharp knife, trying to remove the least amount of meat possible.

2

Cut the picanha into steaks, cutting with the grain first. Cut them 1 and 1/2 inches thick.

3

Lightly trim the fat, leaving about 1/4 inch for the perfect ratio.

4

Vacuum seal the first steak after seasoning it with a good amount of salt only, keeping it traditional.

5

For the second steak, prepare a marinade with tangerine juice (ensuring no seeds), Korean chili paste, ginger paste, garlic paste, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper.

6

Blend the marinade on high until well mixed.

7

Vacuum seal the second steak with the marinade and prepare for sous vide cooking.

8

Cook both steaks sous vide at 135°F for 2 and 1/2 hours.

9

After cooking, open the vacuum bag and set the steak on a cooling rack to drain the marinade.

10

Pat the steak dry to ensure a good sear.

11

Sear the steak on high heat until a nice crust forms.
