1. Remove a cooking grid and place your smoker box or tube over a burner. Fill with your favorite wood chips. Light the burner below the smoker accessory, setting it to low, and then preheat the barbecue to around 300°F (149°C) using the rear burner. 
2. Trim off the silverskin and extra fat that is hanging off the ends. Slice the picanha into 2½-inch (6½ cm) thick slices, WITH the grain. Season them to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper. You can also use your favorite steak seasoning. Let the steaks rest with the salt while the grill continues to warm. 
3. Thread the steaks onto a spit rod in a ‘C’ shape with the fat cap out. Load the spit rod onto your barbecue and turn on the rotisserie motor. Cook the picanha for 30 to 40 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer hits around 130°F (54°C). 
4. While the picanha is cooking, make the Brazilian Salsa Vinaigrette condiment. Dice tomatoes, pepper, and onion. Toss with the olive oil, vinegar, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish or stir through as much or as little cilantro as you like. 
5. Remove from the grill and allow the picanha to rest before slicing and serving. You can serve it Churrasco style, sliced directly off the spit, or serve your picanha as steaks, removing them from the spit entirely and allowing your guests to slice the steak into delicious morsels themselves. 
6. Top the picanha with the Brazilian Salsa Vinaigrette and pair this with rice and beans, French fries, or your favorite seasonal side dish.
