BEEF CARNE PICANHA SIRLOIN 3 LBS

Picanha, also known as the top sirloin cap, is one of the most flavorful and underrated beef cuts—and a cornerstone of Brazilian barbecue. Our Beef Carne Picanha Sirloin (3 lb) features a generous fat cap that bastes the meat as it cooks, producing exceptional tenderness and bold beef flavor when handled correctly.

• Full fat cap intact – critical for moisture, flavor, and texture

• Cut from the top sirloin cap, prized for tenderness and beef-forward taste

• Excellent value cut that eats like a premium steak

• Ideal for grilling, roasting, rotisserie, or slicing into steaks

How to Cook Picanha Properly 

• Grill or rotisserie: Cook fat-side up first, then finish fat-side down to render

• Roast whole: Season simply with salt, roast at 400–425°F

• Slice into steaks: Cut with the grain into thick steaks before cooking, then slice against the grain to serve

Key rule: Do not trim the fat cap before cooking. That fat is the point.

Flavor Profile & Texture

• Rich, beefy flavor without being overpowering

• Juicy interior with crisp, rendered fat when cooked properly
