Picanha offers a robust, beefy flavor with a rich, rendered fat cap that provides incredible juiciness and a distinctive savory taste.
The main flavor profile is intensely beefy, enhanced by the rendering of the fat cap during cooking. The simple seasoning of coarse salt allows the natural taste of the high-quality beef to shine. Some variations might include garlic, herbs, or chili flakes, but the essence remains the pure, unadulterated flavor of the meat.

Fat Cap Preservation
Do not trim the fat cap excessively! It is essential for flavor and moisture. Score the fat cap in a crosshatch pattern to allow for better rendering.
Cutting Technique
Slice the picanha against the grain after cooking. This helps to shorten the muscle fibers and makes the meat more tender.
Grilling Technique
Grill over medium-high heat, initially with the fat cap facing down to render and baste the meat. Rotate and adjust the heat as needed to achieve a nice sear without burning the fat.
Resting the Meat
Allow the picanha to rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful final product.
