Certified Angus Beef Whole Picanha (11 oz)

Indulge in the rich, succulent flavor of Certified Angus Beef Whole Picanha, a prized cut weighing approximately 11 ounces. Known for its distinctive fat cap, the picanha, also called the sirloin cap, is a Brazilian barbecue staple that's rapidly gaining popularity worldwide. This cut is incredibly tender and flavorful when cooked properly, offering a melt-in-your-mouth experience that's hard to beat. The fat cap renders beautifully during cooking, basting the meat and infusing it with a rich, buttery taste. To prepare, score the fat cap in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season generously with coarse salt and black pepper. You can grill it over high heat, fat-side down first, until the fat is golden brown and crispy. Then, flip and cook to your desired level of doneness. Alternatively, roast it in the oven at a high temperature for a similar effect. For a truly authentic Brazilian experience, try skewering the picanha into a horseshoe shape and grilling it over an open flame. The picanha is also fantastic when reverse-seared. Sear the picanha after cooking it at a low temperature for a long time. This method will create a perfect crust and a tender interior. Nutritionally, picanha is a good source of protein and essential amino acids. The fat content contributes to its rich flavor, but it can be trimmed if desired. This cut is particularly popular in Brazilian churrascarias, where it's served sliced thinly off the skewer. Its versatility extends beyond Brazilian cuisine, making it a delicious addition to any barbecue or roast dinner. Customers love the Certified Angus Beef Whole Picanha for its exceptional quality, consistent marbling, and unparalleled flavor. It's a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that elevates any meal. Store the picanha in the refrigerator until ready to use, and for best results, allow it to come to room temperature before cooking. This ensures even cooking and maximum tenderness.
