Sirloin cap aka Brazilian Picanha

[hawgrider]

This sirloin cap is about 2.8 lbs I barely had to trim this one. Nice thick fat cap on top. Cut across the grain for strips roll and stuff some sticks thru it. Apply course salt like you mean it! And that's it the beef is the star of this show.

I'm going to add some smoke with pecan and apple chips.

Turned out terrific! Had about 125 on the big one 130-135+ on the others. The peach and apple chips was a good combo.

Big beef flavor and the pieces could be easily pulled apart.

Pichana is a definite great meal. Few people know of it. I did mine whole...took it to 135. Served it with homemade chimichuri and it was fantastic!!

Mucho Points sir!!!

Beautiful! Only downside to country living where I'm at, not a whole lot of Ethnic Diversity. Even the Chinese Restaurant has a hard time getting Chinese Vegetables and ingredients! Forget anything Hispanic!...JJ

Just ask your butcher for a sirloin cap.
They are better than a tri tip. Nice big fat cap on this cut vs tri tip. Lots of marbling too.
