4 servings
For the steak
- 2 lb picanha (top sirloin cap), fat cap intact, cut into 3–4 thick steaks
- 1 ½ tsp coarse sea salt
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
For the chimichurri
- 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, tightly packed
- ¼ cup fresh oregano leaves
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Score the fat cap of each picanha steak in a crosshatch pattern, cutting through the fat but not into the meat, to prevent curling during searing.

Pat the steaks completely dry with paper towels. Rub the coarse sea salt, smoked paprika, and black pepper evenly over all sides of each steak.
