Smoked Picanha

[tenpoint]

I had never heard of this particular cut/roast before but saw one at the local shop and decided to try it out. Simply seasoned w/ salt/pepper. Smoked at 250 until 125 internal. Pulled it and let it rest under foil for 20 minutes. Made a chimichurri sauce for it as well. Wasn't necessary but was a nice addition. The picanha was fantastic. One of the better pieces of meat I've had. Will definitely do again.

Yea I saw it elsewhere a few weeks ago and then randomly saw one in the case and just had to try it. Talk about tender and juicy. Only took an hour too.

Very tasty along with Chimichurri. I did one Weber rotisserie. Not sure it added anything other than fun.

Great cut. I really like the texture. And good job of cooking it.

Looks darn tasty! Chimichurri to boot, awesome. They sell them at the butcher around the corner from my house, but at the price they want I'm led to believe they're made of gold not cow.

Yea it wasn’t cheap but I got it at a place that is cheaper than most but still good quality. It was either $20 or $25 for 2.7 lbs.

Looks fantastic! Ive not had one yet either. A butcher shop nearby Is carrying them now though.

In America it's known as top sirloin cap or culotte. Picanha is the Brazilian name and where it became famous. It's a most flavorful cut and if prepared correctly is quite tender.

Yup I believe culotte was on the packaging as well. It was melt in your mouth tender.
