Picanha Steak (Coulotte)

The picanha (also known as the coulotte or coulotte steak) is triangular shaped with the hearty beef flavor and texture of USDA Prime sirloin steak. Only 4 to 5% of all the beef produced in the United States meets the grade for USDA Prime, making this a rich and unique cut. Each picanha has the fat cap as preferred by aficionados of Brazilian BBQ. The USDA Prime picanha is beautifully marbled which imparts both flavor and a more tender texture. It can be prepared whole, sliced into steaks or skewered for a festive presentation. Average weight: 2.5 lbs.
