Step 1

Score fat cap on the sirloin with a knife in an “X” pattern. Slice sirloin, with the grain, into 3 equal steaks. Season all over with salt and pepper. Shape each steak into a half-circle, ensuring the fat layer is on the outside. Thread steaks onto a large metal skewer.

Step 2

Heat grill or grill pan to high heat. Add steaks to hot, greased grill grates. Reduce heat to low and cook, turning occasionally, until golden-brown on all sides and reaches an internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare, or 150°F for medium-well, about 15-20 minutes. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 3

Brazilian Vinaigrette: In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, olive oil, vinegar and fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve sliced steak alongside the vinaigrette and black bean soup.
