Picanha is a popular cut of beef in Brazil, known for its rich flavor and tenderness. It comes from the top of the cow's rump and is characterized by a thick layer of fat on one side, which helps keep the meat juicy during cooking. Often grilled or roasted, picanha is a favorite at churrascos, or Brazilian barbecues, where it is typically seasoned with just salt to highlight its natural taste. This cut is usually served in thick slices, making it perfect for sharing. Many people enjoy it with traditional sides like farofa (toasted cassava flour) and vinagrete (a fresh salsa), creating a delicious and satisfying meal that showcases the essence of Brazilian cuisine.
