Preparation
- Score the fat of the picanha crosswise and rub both the fat and the meat with the rub. Use a little oil for this.
- Sear the meat on the fat side, let some of the fat render, then turn over.
- Cool immediately and vacuum-seal with a splash of olive oil. Cook at 58°C for one and a half hours.
- Reheat the meat before serving on the barbecue or grill, then slice thinly. Skewer the slices.
- Rinse the roasted pepper thoroughly under running water.
- Blend it together with a bit of piri-piri sauce and broth into a liquid mass. Strain the mixture.
- For every 1 liter of this mixture, add 50 grams of pro espuma and mix with a hand blender.
- Pour into a siphon and charge with two cartridges.
- Clean the vegetables (various firm vegetables, such as green asparagus, baby corn, mini beets, and parsnip) and cut into even pieces.
- Vacuum-seal them separately with a splash of olive oil and cook in a water bath at 85°C (30 to 45 minutes), depending on the thickness of the product.
- Briefly grill them on the barbecue before serving and salt afterwards.
- Cook the big grillers in broth with a knob of butter until done.
- Roughly chop the purslane and mash it together with a bit of melted butter into a coarse purée.
- Season with salt and white pepper.
- Peel the fennel with a peeler.
- Remove the core and slice it into thin pieces using a mandoline.
- Make a dressing from the remaining ingredients to your own taste.
- Bring the dressing to a boil, pour over the fennel, and let it cool and soften.
