Normally this cut is hard to find but luckily a butcher at a supermarket over here in San Diego knows what I’m talking about

$5.99 lb

Brazilian churrasco style with coarse sea salt

made some smashed potatoes in a skillet on the stove 

enjoy the pics!

    This is a great cook and pics.  Thanks for posting. You're lucky to have a butcher that works with you such that you get it for a fair price.  Well played.

    Well done, @the_crease    Pichana is a great cut & your cook and pics more than do it justice. 

    Also, I am hoping your username is a cricket reference, but am prepared to be disappointed.

    Excellent. Nicely done. It is a very hard cut to find here in the US. There is a market in Danbury Ct that I pass on my way to my sons college that carries them all the time. Problem is they are from New Zealand, and I really do not think they are that tasty. Especially compared to what I've had many times on the other side of the equator.

    Nice, brazilian spades!!!

    I like to cook the whole Picanha this way:

    Salt & Pepper
    a light coat of brown sugar
    a light coat of ground coffee

    Indirect at 350F fat up until 120F internal, then reverse sear high heat to char the external fat.

    No pics, just memories... hahaha

    @Foghorn Thank you!

    @CPFC1905 appreciate the kind words.  Isn’t cricket like baseball?  Sorry to disappoint you 

    @hvhunter  my Brazilian friends have intel on all the picanha spots in San Diego, and at decent prices.  I guess I’m just lucky 

    @PSC1 always just used coarse sea salt, but I need to give that a try.  Sounds interesting thanks for the recipe

    Nicely done!

    Haven’t been able to find top sirloin with the fat cap still on around here. Still looking :)
