Picanha (pronounced pee-KAHN-yah) is a triangular cut from the top of the sirloin cap, prized in Brazilian cuisine. It features a thick fat cap that bastes the meat during cooking. Also known as sirloin cap, rump cap, or coulotte steak.

Picanha is a specific muscle (the sirloin cap) that sits on top of the sirloin. Unlike standard sirloin, picanha has a thick fat layer that melts during cooking, making it significantly juicier. Regular sirloin is leaner and lacks that fat cap.

No. The fat cap is what makes picanha special. It renders during cooking and continuously bastes the meat. If thicker than one inch, trim slightly, but never remove it entirely.

In American butchering, the sirloin cap is often broken into smaller cuts, removing the fat cap. Brazilian-style picanha requires the cap intact, which most U.S. grocery stores do not do. Ordering from a specialty butcher like Allen Brothers is the most reliable option.

Allen Brothers offers USDA Prime picanha, the highest beef grade. Prime has the most marbling, which combined with the signature fat cap delivers exceptional flavor most competitors cannot match at Choice or ungraded levels.
