As someone who recently discovered this cut through Brazilian BBQ, I appreciate how this article breaks down everything from its perfect fat cap to ideal doneness (medium-rare forever!). The comparison to other popular steak cuts is especially helpful for newbies.

Question for fellow grill masters: Have you tried the traditional skewer method vs. slicing into steaks? I’m curious which yields better results on a home grill. Also, any tips for sourcing quality picanha in the U.S.? My local butcher always looks puzzled when I ask!

P.S. That reverse-sear technique suggestion is gold – can’t wait to try it this weekend. Thanks for settling the ‘grain direction’ debate once and for all!

Exactly!! It is even better cooking the whole meat without cutting it into slices! Sooo perfect!

A tip for the grilling – I use Smores skewers that are metal, they work perfectly for this! I’ve been grilling up Picanha for quite a few years, and season mine with Cajun Seasoning for an extra flavor boost. Delicious!

That’s the way we do it in Uruguay. 45min fat side, around half that time the other way to sear it. Let it rest for a bit and slice after. Juicy fatty heaven

They look very similar, but they are two different cuts actually.
