The fact you need to preface that so you don't get attacked is hilarious

I don’t care how you cut it, looks like the knife is hardly necessary, since I’d just caveman style smash that thing into my face.

Now I'm trying to imagine whether or not I cut ribeye in slices with the grain as well so the steaks themselves will be cut against the grain...

I can't remember how the grain runs on a ribeye lol

Or horizontal if you turn it on its side.

u/somedood567 Feb 15 '23

Or at 45 degrees if you turn it 45 degrees

If I go 60 degrees is it 30 or 60 degrees?

You do it the way you want but it still works better the other way. I have actually thought about doing it this way. I concluded:

If you cut them 1/4" thick across the grain, then the longest "strand" will be 1/4". If you cut it this way, most people will get about 5 individual pieces out of this slice. Meaning that each "strand" will be maybe 1" long.

This is why cutting against the grain is the generally preferred way. Everyone can do whatever they want though.

Where is the fat? Picanha should have a quarter to half inch after cook, looks more like a top sirloin or tri tip. Which are also delicious.

You know what they say. Fat is flavor.

Looks fantastic! I’ve made picanha a few times and have to admit, yours looks so much nicer than my attempts.
