👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Pat the maminha dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides, pressing the seasoning firmly into the meat.
2. Mince the garlic cloves and rub them over the seasoned beef, along with the olive oil. Let the maminha rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
3. Preheat your grill to high heat. Place the maminha directly over the hot coals or burners, fat side down first, to render some fat and create a beautiful crust.
4. Grill for about 8-10 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust to your desired doneness. Use tongs to turn the meat, ensuring even cooking.
5. Once cooked, remove the maminha from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board, loosely tented with foil, for 10-15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
6. Slice the maminha against the grain into thin pieces. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as farofa, vinaigrette, or a simple green salad.
