Wagyu Picanha

A flavorful roast cut with a signature fat cap and bold beef character.

The Wagyu Picanha is packaged as one cut per package and typically weighs about 4 to 4.25 lbs.. Picanha comes from the top of the sirloin and is especially popular in Brazilian style cooking, where it is prized for its fat cap and rich flavor when cooked properly.

What Is Picanha

• Distinct fat cap: The fat renders during cooking and bastes the meat.
• Firm but tender: Best when sliced correctly after cooking.
• Very flavorful: Minimal seasoning is often all it needs.

Best Ways to Cook It

• Grill whole: Cook fat side up over indirect heat, then finish hot.
• Oven roast: Roast low, then finish with higher heat for a crust.
• Skewer style: Common in Brazilian cooking, sliced into thick pieces before grilling.

Cooking Guidance

Picanha performs best when cooked to medium rare or medium. Always rest the meat before slicing, and slice against the grain for the best texture.

Serving Ideas

• Excellent with simple sides like rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
