- Allow the meat to marinate with the salt for 30 to 40 minutes.
- Score the fat cap with shallow crosswise cuts without piercing the meat underneath.
- Gently pat the meat to remove any excess salt.
- Smear the entire piece of beef generously with the crushed garlic.
- Prepare your grill for medium-heat charcoal cooking.
- Place the picanha on the grill grate approximately 60 cm away from the heat, keeping the fat cap facing upward.
- Grill until your preferred level of doneness is reached, being careful not to overcook to preserve the juices.
