Centex gets mad at the Picanha

It's just sirloin cut a certain way so it leaves the fat cap on one side. You can find it there or just buy a sirloin and learn to cut it.milesbrown4 said:This is the next big thing......pincaha? I don't think I can get that in VA....need to do some research. The Queen will like this!

Are we talking about the Nikki Martin one or the facebook page? Nikki had to change her name to "grill next door" and the facebook page hasn't been updated in 7 months.The Cen-Tex Smoker said:To her ongoing horror, You would be correct. I don't know the website. Someone in here mentioned it so TFJ went looking for it and said it was using her avatar on the home page. She was really bummed. Thought she had an original name AND avatar. Nope.The mantle is TFJ's!:ar! -

She will be pleased. Not sure which one. I'm getting all this 2nd hand. I've never heard of her.

+1. They actually didn't leave much of the fat cap on at the CM in Houston. The meat did taste mighty fine though, I'm going back for more sirloin if they have it.The Cen-Tex Smoker said:It's just sirloin cut a certain way so it leaves the fat cap on one side.

Neither had I. Google was my friend. Since you are the Internet Police, and she is SWMBO'ed...:-?She must be the Internet Commish. I'll defer to her final judgement.

It's the rump cap (top sirloin cap) that is found on a whole top sirloin block. It's very easy to cut a picanha. Not sure if I can link to an external site, but PM and I'll show you how to do it.

Here is a link to a photo tutorial I did on how to cut off the picanha.

For a video reference, check this one. Just remember to leave the fat cap on. The picanha is the first cut he takes off which is the first 4 minutes of the video.

If you use the smaller skewers with wooden handles (not recommended for obvious reasons) you can extend their life by wrapping the handles in foil. I had a set that lasted quite a while but now I have joined the big boy club. I can see more skewers in my future. Damn you @caliking!Foghorn said:It turns out there is a reason that they make the skewers that big. Apparently, when one cooks picanha on smaller skewers, the fat drips from the picanha and the picanha catches fire, as does the wooden handle on the skewer...
Clearly, I'm no Centex. I'm not even smart enough to put the wooden handle outside the grill...
It tasted great though. Ended up a perfect rare in the thicker portions and medium in the thinner portions with mostly medium-rare. Sorry there are no pics, I was busy playing fireman.

I think I've figured this out. If you take the picture in portrait orientation, it will show sideways, unless you click on it for enlargement. The software wants to show a picture with the width larger than the height.what the hell happened to all my pics? Were they always sideways?

Love that first pic with the swords and bravo to SWMBOed for making the pao de queijo from scratch. We were lazy and bought the pre-made ones in the frozen section at CM.

This is a good series as well from the whole half carcass to final cuts. Guy is a bit dry but it is educational.
