Picanha (250g)

Picanha is a cut of beef first made popular in Brazil, and later adopted in Portugal. It consists of the final part of the biceps femoris muscle, at the bottom of the animal, and its fat cap. In recent years the cut has become popular in most of Latin America and has gained a reputation as a tasty meat in the barbecue culture.

You can definitely eat the fat cap, in fact most Latin American countries keep the fat top sirloin cap on for added flavor! It’s a very soft, buttery fat layer.
