update on the giant slab of beef

it's about 5kg, supposedly, seems about right, and it comes from uraguay... i ended up cutting it into roughly 8 equal pieces and expect i'll eat one of these each time in a meal... got a big sack of charcoal ready to go because frankly i'm just not going there with wood that has been recycled unless it's so old it's full of termite tunnels

it's a cut that is usually made into what they call in brazil "picanha" 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picanha

according to the diagram, it's the part above the tail over top of the lower spine

incredibly large, i mean, tbh i'm not sure if it is actually picanha but some other part of the back leg area, about 80cm in length... 

anyhow, i'm sure it will be marvellous when i slice up the segments into 2" wide chunks, probably will get like 8 pieces out of each 1/8th of the whole piece, and roast them on two skewers, liberally salted with grey unrefined sea salt and diced garlic squished between the chunks on the skewer, and grilled over glowing hot charcoal

shit, i'm really getting a hankering to get out in the bbq and make this happen poste haste
