Veal picanha
Veal Picanha
Picanha comes from the tail end of the animal and is popular with anyone who enjoys pure meat with a firm bite. The fat cap on top melts slowly during cooking and keeps the meat tender inside. On the barbecue or in the oven, picanha is all about simplicity and proper preparation.
What is picanha?
Picanha is cut from the rump cap, the part just above the hind leg. The meat has a firm grain and stays juicy thanks to the fat layer. It is ideal for whole piece preparations: first seared briefly, then gently cooked through. Always slice the meat against the grain for the best result.

Picanha is a beautiful steak or roast that you can prepare in various ways. Below you will find a helpful guideline. Scroll through and choose your preferred cooking method.
Preparing Picanha low and slow (searing and finishing)
Plan ahead, thaw the meat a few days in advance (or a few hours in cold water) and take it out of the refrigerator 5 hours before cooking to bring it to room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 120C for gentle cooking and heat the pan or grill to maximum heat.
Sear or grill the meat on all sides in a large pan with butter or on the grill until it is fully browned and the fat cap becomes nice and crunchy.
Move the meat to the preheated oven, place the seared steak in an oven dish and add the cooking fat.
Time: use the schedule below for your planning; these times are indicative.
Measure the core temperature for this type of meat. Use the temperatures from the schedule.

Season the meat after searing or afterwards with salt and pepper or a rub of your choice.
