Picanha Roast

Known as the "Queen of Brazilian Steakhouses," our Small Batch Farms Picanha Roast is one of the most flavorful and sought-after cuts of beef. Cut from the top sirloin cap, this roast is prized for its rich marbling, tender texture, and signature fat cap that bastes the meat as it cooks, creating an incredibly juicy and flavorful roast.

Raised on open pastures and grain-finished for exceptional marbling, our Picanha delivers a bold, buttery beef flavor that's perfect for grilling, roasting, or smoking. Whether prepared whole for a show-stopping centerpiece or sliced into traditional picanha steaks, this premium cut offers an unforgettable dining experience.

Recommended Cooking Methods

For the best flavor and tenderness, cook to medium-rare (130–135°F) or medium (140–145°F). Always allow the roast to rest before slicing.

Grill (Brazilian Style)

• Score the fat cap in a crosshatch pattern without cutting into the meat.
• Season generously with coarse salt or your favorite steak seasoning.
• Grill over medium-high heat, fat side down first, until beautifully rendered.
• Continue cooking over indirect heat until the internal temperature reaches 130–135°F.
• Rest for 10–15 minutes, then slice against the grain.

Oven Roast

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Sear fat side down in a hot cast-iron skillet for 3–5 minutes until golden and crisp.
• Transfer to the oven and roast until the internal temperature reaches 130–135°F, approximately 30–45 minutes.
• Rest before slicing.

Smoker

• Smoke at 225–250°F until the roast reaches 125–130°F.
• Finish with a hot sear over direct heat to crisp the fat cap.
• Rest for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestions

Slice thinly against the grain and serve with roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, chimichurri, garlic butter, or traditional Brazilian sides. Picanha also makes exceptional steak sandwiches, tacos, and steak bowls with its rich, beefy flavor and juicy texture.
