Picanha Steaks - Snake River Farms

[SillyRabbit]

This is the first time I have made pichanha and it definitely won't be the last. Just wow, wow, wow; what flavor, texture and so juicy. I purchased online from Snake River Farms. It is black grade American wagyu. The cut was 3.7 lbs. I decided to cut it into steaks since it is just me and the wife. I only used salt on the steaks about half an hour prior to the cook. I used smoke boost for about an hour to get them to 115°, then cracked the smokefire up to 600 and seared them. I gave them a light coat of avocado oil before the sear. Unlike any other steak, juicy like a rib eye, solid bite like a strip, but melts in your mouth like a filet.

I checked the price, actually not bad at all.
I didn’t realize coulotte was the same. Thing, I’ve seen them at my butcher. I’m going to pick one up tomorrow.

You guys are lucky with your wagyu pichana

Pichana is now our favorite. I started cutting the fat cap completely off, that sirloin really likes to absorb smoke. My favorite way is to smoke it whole, usually around 3 lb cuts. We’ve done different grades, but don’t discount choice. Still comes out really good (from butcher at least).

Something else to add to my growing list of great things to try. I normally buy a whole USDA Prime Rib Loin, cut into 1 1/2” Ribeye Steaks (wife and I split one), vacuum seal and freeze, but this approach looks much easier.

You convinced me and I ordered one for my anniversary which is right before Christmas. Dumb timing....

I just ordered one as well. I use the chimichurri recipe from Matt pitman and I bet it would be a fantastic pair with a nice hoppy ipa

I left a couple in my basket. SWMBO said no more meat after an Allen Bros. delivery.
