has anyone tried to cook a picanha yet? I picked one up yesterday and debating whether to cook it like a tri-tip or longer like a chuck roast.  thanks! The butcher said either way is good

I've decided to treat it like a tri-tip cook. If it comes out good I'll probably cut it into steaks and grill it like the Brazilian's do. Pictures to come later

. Cut it up and made some tacos. Cooked it like a tri-tip and it came out almost perfect. It definitely would have benefited from a quick seer first, but other than that it was great. I never had a cut of beef more tender it actually did melt in your mouth and I would highly recommend trying to find it

Nice cook, I will have to ask about that cut.  Never heard of it, but seems like it is worth the find.

that taco looks really good!!!! that is always the house special when going to a Brazilian churascaria and man you made it look pretty good.  im pretty sure that is a specialized butcher i guarantee walmart, costco, sams and any other big box store wouldn't carry that.  consider yourself pretty lucky.  btw, just curious how much was that cut per lb?

I've used that cut of meat quite often, yet. From grilling, to BBQing and hot smoking to pastrami - that all works pretty well!

I like your version to put it into tacos!

9.99 a pound for a prime cut. I got from central market in Texas. It does look like what the albertsons supermarket calls tri-tip that they occasionally have. I will have to try it from there next time. Especially since its half the price and not tri-tip
