The picanha: the insanely underappreciated cut of beef that everyone should get familiarized with. Also known as the rump cap or coulotte; this small roast comes from the top of the sirloin section. Triangular in shape with a hearty cap of fat that bastes the rich, beefy meat as it roasts; this cut prepares much like a premium steak.
It is an absolute favorite of all of ours here on the farm. It can be sliced into small steaks or scored and roasted whole; the latter being our typical go-to method. If you do choose to cut steaks, you will want to fight the ‘against the grain’ intuitive thought; slicing into steaks with the grain is recommended by butchers because once on the plate, you will be slicing against the grain for the most tender bite.
The picanha is the star of the barbeque in Brazil where is it traditionally seasoned with only salt. You can feel free to season as you wish, but the richness of the beef remains the star of the show with the simplicity of a coarse salt rub.
Our picanhas range from 1-3 pounds each; typically closer to 2 pounds. If you are hoping for a certain size, please request in your order notes and we will do our best to accommodate.
