Bring Brazilian-style flavor to your grill with Picanha, also known as the Top Sirloin Cap, from RK Cattle Co. Sourced from locally raised, premium beef, this cut is prized for its rich marbling, tenderness, and bold beef flavor. Picanha is a favorite for grilling enthusiasts and steak lovers looking for a flavorful, juicy cut that delivers every time.
Picanha is traditionally cooked with the fat cap intact, which renders during cooking to baste the meat naturally, enhancing juiciness and flavor. It’s ideal for slicing into steaks or roasting whole, making it a versatile choice for backyard BBQs, family dinners, or special occasions.
Cooking Tips & Recipe Ideas:
- Classic Brazilian Grill: Score the fat cap, season generously with salt, and grill over medium-high heat, rotating to sear each side. Slice thin against the grain for serving.
- Oven-Roasted: Roast whole with the fat cap up at 400°F for 25–30 minutes, then rest 10 minutes before slicing.
- Skillet-Cooked: Pan-sear thick steaks on medium-high heat 3–4 minutes per side, letting the fat render slightly for maximum flavor.
- Serving Suggestions: Slice thin for churrasco-style skewers, serve with chimichurri sauce, roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or in steak sandwiches.
