Pre-heat the Qookingtable on 5. When orange light is off, set to 10. When temperature has been reached (orange light off), place the Picanha fat side down on the cooking center. Roast until golden brown (~ 8 minutes), turn, and brown the other side for additional ~ 8 minutes. If you prefer, you can remove part of the drippings by soaking them up with tongs and a paper towel. Optional: prep on the stove and finish on the teppanyaki grill. At this point the Picanha should be cooked to “rare”. Optional: Scrape away most of the salt now. Cut meat against the grain into ~1 inch thick slices and put back onto the hot teppanyaki cooking center. Keep roasting, turning each slice once, until meat has reached the doneness to your liking. Switch off the teppanyaki grill; toss the salad and let everyone enjoy the fabulous flavors of Brazil.
