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
-
Never heard of it but it is from the cap of the rump. This link may give you some good tips! Don

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

Looks like you did a great job Scott!!! looks delicious in the pics!!! Don
-
Looks very nice, Scott. Will have to find and try this. Thanks for the post.
-
The only thing wrong with any of those pictures...is that I can't taste them...... :'(... :D
NICE COOK!!!
-
Looks real good! I never heard of that cut but great job!
-
Nice cook, I will have to ask about that cut. Never heard of it, but seems like it is worth the find.
-
Gonna have to brown nose the local butcher to find me this cut of meat. You did it up proper.
-
Oh my that looks good, will have to ask the guys at Star Market if they heard of it
-
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
-
im in dfw area and i think there is a central market close to me so ill check it out. ive got an albertson's 10 min from me but the times i've been in there hasn't been a tri tip. let me know if you find an albertsons that has it and i'll ask for the same thing from the one i go to!! where in tx are you at?
-
Im in mineral wells and got it from the central market in ft. Worth. I occasionally see tri-tip at albertsons in Weatherford. But it looks more like this and not tri-tip. The butchers at albertsons said they will get it if you call ahead
-
im in south fort worth burleson area. im curious what did the person at albertson's call the cut of meat? the rump cap? tri tip? picanha? if i could score that cut for a cheaper price boy id get that every weekend! i might just ask the butcher at albertsons's close to me to get a tri tip and see what i get. i wonder if they have these cuts in usda choice?
-
it was tri-tip at albertsons. I think all the beef at albertsons is choice
