Picanha is a tender, flavorful cut of beef from the top of the sirloin, prized for its rich beef flavor and distinctive fat cap. The fat renders as it cooks, keeping the meat juicy and adding incredible flavor.
It’s especially popular for grilling or roasting whole, but it can also be sliced into thick steaks. For the best results, cook it to medium-rare or medium and slice against the grain.
Also known as: Top Sirloin Cap, Coulotte, or Rump Cap.
