6 Brazilian Picanha Steak: Flavorful and Easy The "sirloin The pecana," or more accurately picanha, is a prized Brazilian cut of beef from the top sirloin cap of the cow, characterized by a thick, flavorful fat cap. Also known as the "rump cap" or "sirloin cap," picanha is popular for its tender, rich, and juicy meat, which is enhanced by the melting fat when cooked perfectly over high heat, traditionally on skewers as part of a Brazilian churrasco. | Meatdad
