What is the difference between USDA Prime and Wagyu Picanha?

USDA Prime Picanha meets strict USDA grading standards with excellent marbling. Wagyu Picanha offers even higher marbling scores (BMS 6-9) and a buttery texture. Japanese A5 Wagyu represents the highest grade with exceptional intramuscular fat distribution.

How should I cook Picanha?

Picanha is best cooked using high-heat methods like grilling, reverse searing, or roasting. The fat cap should face up to render and baste the meat. Cook to medium-rare (130-135°F internal temperature) for optimal tenderness and flavor.
