Picanha is a popular cut of beef in Brazil, known for its rich flavor and tenderness. It comes from the upper part of the animal's rump, just above the rump steak. This cut is characterized by its layer of fat which, when cooked, gives the meat an unmistakable flavor.
Wagyu beef is a breed of beef originating in Japan, famous for its exceptional marbling. This marbling is due to the even distribution of intramuscular fat, which gives the meat an incredibly tender and juicy texture.
Dry marinating is a technique that involves rubbing spices directly onto the meat. In this recipe, we use a black garlic BBQ dry marinade to enhance the flavor of the Picanha.
Black garlic is a type of caramelized garlic, which has been fermented at high temperatures. It has a sweet and complex flavor, with hints of licorice, balsamic and maple syrup.
