1. Prepare the Steak:
Remove the Wagyu Coulotte Picanha steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the Grill:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a cast iron skillet, heat it over medium-high heat until very hot.
3. Score the Fat Cap:
Using a sharp knife, score the fat cap in a crosshatch pattern without cutting into the meat. This helps render the fat and enhances flavor.
4. Sear the Steak:
Place the steak fat-side down on the hot grill or skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes until the fat is crispy and golden brown. Flip the steak and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the meat side.
5. Check the Temperature:
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 130°F (54°C).
6. Rest the Steak:
Remove the steak from the grill or skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
7. Slice and Serve:
Slice the steak against the grain into thick pieces. Serve immediately, ideally with a sprinkle of sea salt to enhance the flavors.
