Keto Picanha Skewers with Garlic Butter: A Flavorful Delight!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds picanha (top sirloin cap), cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Begin by heating your grill or grill pan to a high temperature.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the picanha chunks with avocado oil, sea salt, black pepper, onion powder, and chili powder. Mix thoroughly until all the meat is well coated in the spices.
- Skewer the marinated picanha pieces onto metal or soaked wooden skewers, ensuring to leave a small gap between each piece for optimal cooking.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for approximately 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they achieve your preferred doneness (medium-rare is around 135°F).
- While the skewers are grilling, prepare the herb-infused butter. In a separate bowl, blend the softened butter with the chopped garlic, cilantro, sea salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well integrated.
- After grilling, take the skewers off the heat and allow them to rest for a few minutes. Generously drizzle the herb-infused butter over the skewers before serving.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle additional chopped cilantro on top before serving.
Notes
- For enhanced flavor, consider marinating the picanha in the spice mixture for several hours or overnight prior to grilling.
- You can also swap the picanha for cuts like ribeye or sirloin for a different flavor profile.
- For added heat, incorporate a dash of cayenne pepper into the herb-infused butter.
