Transcript

Everyone on the internet thinks I'm bad at cooking steaks because I tried cooking a picana steak for the first time a few months ago and I thought it was good but not amazing. But the internet being the internet told me that my opinion was wrong and that the reason this steak didn't give me an out-of- body experience was because I cooked it wrong. I actually don't really mind being inside my body. But I'm going to give this new technique a try anyways because for some unknown reason I feel obligated to make strangers on the internet proud of me. So, apparently what I was supposed to do was take the whole top sirloin cap, which is the piece of meat that you cut picana steaks off of, and cook that low and slow over charcoal, until it reached about 105° Fahrenheit internal. Then, I was supposed to remove it from the heat, slice it into steaks against the grain, and put it on these giant Brazilian barbecue skewers. You guys peer pressured me into buying these skewers, even though they were $60, so you better appreciate my commitment to this technique. Then, you get your grill super hot by adding on even more charcoal and sear the steaks over the high heat. Once it's cooked to about 120° Fahrenheit, thinly slice the meat off the skewer and serve it with a Brazilian chimmy chur sauce. I will admit that this was definitely better than the first time I made picana, but it did cost $100 and take 2 hours of my life. And now I don't know what to do with all this meat. I hope you're happy.
