Awesome meal and now I'll be on the lookout for top sirloin with a fat cap!
I've also seen then but will do a better inspection from now on!

SmokinEdge SmokinEdge … Eric… not tying to take over your awesome thread by any means.

But Keith, and those who may not know. Picanha may not be labeled as such… From my understanding… depends on the location?!

The top 3 I have noticed after research here in the US as it’s a traditional Brazilian cut.
1. Top Sirloin Cap
2. Rump Cap
3. Coulotte Roast

Might help someone out as they may have Picanha and not know it… and what a tasty, tasty piece of meat if done right!

Sorry Eric, again my apologies for the hijack!
 
I would love to find picanha here locally! That steak looks great!
Sometimes the local Sam's has top sirloin butts. They aren't cheap but you would get the top sirloin cap on a whole butt, plus plenty of top sirloin steaks, or make rare/mr roasts of beef

And sometimes a big hunk of lean rare sirloin really hits the spot in a way that a fattier cut doesn't. I know on keto you gotta get the fat but that's why God invented butter!

That’s just good clarification and information. I enjoy helping people find good food. Thanks again Justin. Always enjoy your posts.
 
Awesome cook! The first time I stumbled on picanha (@$4.99/lb) I had no idea what it was. I over cooked it and everyone hated it. Need to try again and do it right...maybe pot it on the rotisserie on the kettle?

They are excellent on the roto. Just make sure to watch that internal temp. I pull them high 120’s to in the 130 range for med rare.

Having lived in Brazil for two years in the distant past, without question they serve Picanha med-rare. Absolutely excellent meal Eric.
