Grilled picanha sliced thin and piled on a toasted roll with chimichurri. Rich, juicy, and messy-in the best way possible.
Prep the meat: Score fat lightly. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Grill: Over medium-high heat, grill fat-side down first 10–12 minutes, then sear directly 3–4 minutes per side.
Rest: Let the picanha rest 5 minutes.
Slice thin: Against the grain into strips perfect for sandwiches.
Assemble sandwiches: Spread chimichurri on toasted rolls, layer picanha, add arugula if desired.
Serve immediately: Juicy, messy, bold—messy is allowed.
