- 2.5 lbs Picanha
- 2 Tbsp Brazilian Sofrito
- 1/4 tsp mustard powder
- lemon pepper
- ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp parsley
- 1 cup cassava flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 onion
- 2 Tbsp cilantro
- 4 whole eggs
- salt and pepper
Set the grill to 350 degrees.
Combine the sofrito, mustard, dry parsley, and a drop of olive oil in a small bowl. Place aside.
4 steaks should be cut from the meat in the same direction as the fibers.
Salt and lemon pepper should be used to season the steaks before applying the sofrito mixture.
Add the steaks to the grill, then cook them to the desired doneness on each side.
Before slicing the steaks, remove them from the grill and give them five minutes to rest.
Make the farofa while the steaks are resting.
Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat on the stove.
Add the onions to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, or until they are translucent.
Scramble the eggs lightly in the pan after adding them.
Add the cassava and stir when the eggs are done but still soft.
Stir in the cilantro after turning off the heat in the pan.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the steaks with the farofa after cutting them across the fibers.
