Ingredients:

Sauce

  • 300 g natural bonito (tuna)
  • 45 g salted anchovies
  • 200 g mayonnaise
  • 100 g cream
  • 30 g Dijon mustard
  • 90 g capers
  • 2 g salt
  • 2 g ground pepper

Meat

  • 350 g cleaned picanha
  • 15 g peeled garlic
  • 6 g fresh rosemary
  • 4 g salt
  • 35 g olive oil

Preparation:

For the sauce, blend all the ingredients in an appropriate container using an XM-12 hand blender. Place the mixture in a piping bag and set aside.

Place the picanha, along with the garlic, rosemary, salt, and olive oil, in a vacuum bag. Seal it at 99% using a Sammic vacuum sealer. Cook the meat in a SmartVide sous-vide cooker at 70°C for 20 minutes.

Allow it to cool before plating.

When plating, slice the picanha into thin slices and alternate them with the sauce and some capers.
