For those looking for Picanha… of all places I often see this cut in my local Walmart Supercenter. You can also find this cut sometimes labeled as Sirloin Cap in Costco. Resist the temptation to trim off the fat cap. This fat gets wonderfully crispy when cooked properly and helps to keep the whole piece of meat moist and tender.
Late to the party in this thread. Had to look it up.
Right around the time this was posted, we were having houseguests, so I didn’t have time to read through it until now. Funny thing is I wasn’t familiar with picanha when this thread was posted, but saw for sale at some store or meat market that I had been to in preparation for our guests. Didn’t buy it and have kicked myself since then.
Then, weeks later, our BBQ enthusiast son told us about it, so I tried looking for the cut to no avail.
Found some prime cap steaks at Costco so bought those hoping they would be close enough. Hubby mans the smoker, while I do the other types of cooking/baking. So I sautéed up some sliced white mushrooms, but found a new wonderful cheese called wild morel and leek jack. I shredded a little bit of that, put it on top of the mushrooms till melted, and then put those on top of the smoked cap steak. Wow! What a combination! Highly recommend! It was a 5 star dinner at 2 star prices!
