Savor the authentic taste of Brazilian churrasco with Carnez’s USDA Prime Picanha. Known as the crown jewel of barbecue in Brazil, this cut is prized for its rich flavor, tender texture, and signature fat cap that bastes the meat as it cooks. Sourced from the highest USDA Prime beef, our Picanha delivers unmatched juiciness and steakhouse-quality flavor at home.

What is Picanha?
Picanha, also known as top sirloin cap, rump cap, or coulotte, originates from the top of the rump. Its thick layer of fat locks in flavor and moisture, creating a juicy, mouthwatering steak with every slice. Traditionally skewered and grilled over charcoal in Brazilian churrasco, Picanha is carved thin against the grain and served as the centerpiece of any celebration.

Why USDA Prime Matters
Only a small percentage of American beef achieves the USDA Prime grade. This guarantees superior marbling and tenderness, elevating Picanha’s already robust flavor to a truly luxurious experience. While supermarkets may over-trim or mislabel this cut, Carnez ensures you receive the real deal with its fat cap intact, just as tradition demands.

Key Features:

• Authentic Picanha cut with its full fat cap

• USDA Prime grade with superior marbling and juiciness

• Perfect for Brazilian churrasco, roasting, or oven preparation

• Deep, beefy flavor enhanced by natural fat rendering

Cooking Tips:
Season generously with coarse salt. Cook fat-side down first to render and crisp the cap, then grill or roast to your desired doneness. Let the Picanha rest before slicing thinly against the grain. For an authentic Brazilian experience, skewer and grill over charcoal, pairing with farofa, rice, beans, and chimichurri.
