Step 1
Pat the picanha completely dry with paper towels. Season generously all over with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear the picanha 2 minutes per side without moving — the surface should be deeply golden and charred.
Step 4
Transfer to a cutting board and rest for 3 minutes. Don't skip this — it keeps the meat juicy.
Step 5
Stir minced garlic and chopped parsley into the warm skillet off heat until fragrant, ~30 seconds.
Step 6
Slice the picanha against the grain into strips. Pour the garlic oil over top and squeeze fresh lime juice.
