Description
What is picanha and why will you love it?
Picanha, also known as rump cap, is one of the most popular cuts among steak lovers worldwide. It is characterised by a compact muscle structure, a distinctive external fat cap and a clean, expressive beef flavour.
In this Uruguayan version from the UMI and Taurus Gold programmes, picanha comes from Angus cattle finished on a grain-based diet for over 200 days. This extended feeding period enhances marbling, improves tenderness and delivers a deeper, more rounded flavour.
Picanha is a versatile cut that performs beautifully when roasted whole, grilled or sliced into steaks. The thick fat cap naturally bastes the meat during cooking, creating juiciness and aroma without the need for heavy seasoning.
