Picaña / Picanha — USDA Prime

Top Sirloin Cap, Coulotte, Punta Trasera

This is the undisputed king of the Brazilian churrasco and the ultimate showstopper for your weekend grill. What makes Picanha truly special is its thick, distinctive fat cap. As it renders over the fire, it continuously bastes the meat, creating a melt-in-your-mouth texture and a deep, buttery beef flavor that is hard to beat. From a value and presentation perspective, Picanha is the perfect centerpiece for large gatherings.

You are paying for pure, unadulterated flavor.

Pro-Tips for the Perfect Cook

  1. Prep: Score the fat cap in a crisscross pattern (without cutting into the meat) and season generously with coarse sea salt.
  2. The Cook: Cook it fat-side up using a two-zone indirect heat method (like a Weber) or raised high over natural wood embers (Santa Maria style).
  3. The Sear: Finish with a high-heat reverse sear for 1-2 minutes per side to get that perfect golden crust.
  4. Temperature & Resting: Pull it off the grill when the internal temperature hits 125°F - 130°F. Let it rest loosely tented in foil for 10-15 minutes. The carryover heat will bring it to a perfect Medium-Rare (130°F - 135°F).
  5. The Slice: This is critical—always slice against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness!
