Hands down my daughter's favorite cut of beef is Picanha, and it sits as one of her favorite meals overall. It has been way to long since I cooked one.
Reviewing my bookmarked post from @Rich G. so I could quadruple checked, I cut with the grain because "If you cut your Picanha into steaks, it's important to cut them WITH the grain......that way, when you slice the steaks, you can cut them against the grain for max tenderness".
After a 10 hour salt brine, I seasoned them with Oak Ridge Carne Crosta and onto the indirect side. When they hit 110, quick rest and onto the direct side. I used all leftover charcoal from my recent reentry into the pizza game cook.
Served with Brizilian Rice, and sprouts, with onion, bacon, some seasonings, and a small pinch of sugar. The sugar was a new addition, it really added great balance to the dish that I have always felt it lacked when I made it in the past.
My daughter eat two whole steaks, and declared there is no reason to cook other cuts of steak when this is clearly the best.

Great looking plate of food!! I picked up 6 lbs of Picanha for $40 when Wild Fork had them as their "sizzling deal of the day"......need to pull one out of the freezer!
