Title: Another Picanha
Post by: Kona on October 30, 2017, 07:45:33 AM
Smoked another Picanha over cherry. I removed the fat cap, dry brined overnight then rubbed with garlic, black pepper and cayenne. Still my favorite cut of beef  :P

What cut of beef did you use?  I had picanha several weeks ago at Jack's Backyard BBQ.  It tasted fantastic.  My wife wants me to cook some at home.

It's Picanha, "Picanha is a cut of beef called sirloin cap in the U.S. that is popular in Brazil. In the U.S. it is little known, but referred to as the rump cover, rump cap or coulotte"

Yours looks great.....
Maybe I misunderstood...I thought that "piranha" was a method of prep and cook - based on a specific cut of meat?
The link below is very much like what we had at Jaxon's....and was called Picanha. Notice the fat cap, the salt and manner that it was laced onto the skewer.

Yup that's how it's generally served in restaurants. I cut off the fat cap when smoking whole. I've also cut it into steaks like in your link and leave the fat on

I've tried both ways just to experiment but now when I slow cook it whole like this I remove it for more surface area for rub and the fat cap just doesn't seem to render down much. I would definitely leave it on if I sliced it into steaks before the cook and cooked it hot and fast
