I'm dying to try a Picahna. Basically a tri-tip as I understand it. I usually cook it on my gas rotisserie, about a 1 hour 15 minute affair. Just dribble in olive oil, salt and pepper, and let the grill do the rest. I stop about 135 degs, get some nice pink in the center with a crunchy roasted external. I'm thinking smoking it would be similar to a brisket, but not take as long. I'll research further.
I just saw this on a Thermoworks email. Picanha Steak: Barrel Cooker Perfection! - YouTube .
Oh yeah, that's coming up next on my "to smoke list"! After the Turkey Breast!
They are very good. I have put in smoker til they hit 100 internal then finish on the grill to medium rare.
I saw this from Kosmo's Q. Smoked Picanha Steak - Kosmos Q BBQ Products & Supplies . Hope sharing this recipe from another BBQ page doesn't get me in trouble. I do know that Barbeque Bible has several recipes for grilled Picanha on line.
Mike, that recipe recommends as a substitute skirt steak. I can't see how that can cook anything like the same way. I'll keep looking for the real thing though, because the recipe looks delicious!
Edit: On line, Prime is about $20 - $28 per lb., Choice around $9 - $12 per lb. Not too bad if you can stand the shipping.
