The picanha or rump cap is a wonderful, but less well known cut here in the UK. The fat from the top, when cooked properly, bastes the meat and adds rich depth of flavour to the meat during cooking. A highly prized cut in Argentina and Brazil, it is commonly barbecued on spits over flame.

The picanha is not as tender as some cuts, but cooked correctly and carved properly, it can be as tender as any other steak and is full of flavour.

Quick Guide to BBQ Picanha

Preheat the barbecue with a lid to 250°C.

Sprinkle sea salt all over the picanha and place it fat-side down on the barbecue. Close the lid and alter the vents to reach a steady 150°C.

Every few minutes, flip the joint and cook until the internal temperature reaches 55°C then rest for 10-15 minutes before carving across the grain.

Quick Guide to Oven Roasted Picanha

Preheat the oven to 120°C

Score the fat side of the in a diagonal pattern and sprinkle with sea salt.

Add 2 tablespoons of beef dripping to a skillet and heat to smoking point.

Lay the picanha in the hot pan fat-side down. Turn down the heat a little and cook slowly to render the fat and brown it.

As you cook, fat will be released into the pan if this gets too much drain some off, reserving until later, then continue to cook until well browned and crisp, for about about 8-10 minutes.

Turn the picanha over, add some of the reserved fat and baste. Cook until browned on the underside.

Transfer to an ovenproof dish. Cook in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

Remove and rest for 10–15 minutes.

Carve against the grain.

For best results, serve no more than medium-rare – 63°C after resting.
