What is Picanha Steak?

Picanha is a cut of beef that’s popular in Brazil and increasingly well-known around the world, especially in steakhouses that focus on Brazilian-style barbecue, known as churrasco. It’s taken from the top part of the rump cap muscle, which sits just above the rear end of the cow. This muscle isn’t heavily used, which makes the meat particularly tender and flavorful.

Picanha is distinguished by its thick layer of fat on one side that helps keep the meat juicy and adds a lot of flavors when it’s cooked. It’s typically cut into thick slices and skewered in a C-shape before being grilled over open flames. The fat renders into the meat as it cooks, creating a rich, beefy taste.

So now you know what it is, you can try this Picanha Steak recipe and impress everyone at your BBQ. Start prep a day ahead as you need to let it sit overnight before cooking.
