Picanha is the centerpiece of Brazilian barbecue, known for its bold flavor and tender texture. At Meat N’ Bone, it’s one of our bestsellers. Yet, for those who find a full roast intimidating or impractical, we’ve created a perfect solution: hand-cut G1 Certified Picanha Steaks.
What is it?
A Picanha steak is a flavorful and tender cut of beef taken from the sirloin cap, located at the top of the rump. It is a staple of Brazilian barbecue, known for its unique balance of meaty richness and juicy tenderness. The cut is easily recognizable by its crescent-shaped fat cap, which adds depth of flavor and helps create a beautifully caramelized crust when cooked. Whether grilled, seared, or roasted, Picanha is prized for its bold taste and satisfying texture, making it a favorite among steak enthusiasts.
