Our whole rump cap (picanha) is ideal for BBQs, smoking, or slicing into steaks at home — great value and perfect for confident cooks

👉 View Whole Rump Cap
Suitable for freezing

Our picanha steak is cut from the rump cap, the prized muscle that sits on top of the rump. Popular in Brazil and loved by BBQ fans, picanha is known for its rich beef flavour, tenderness when cooked correctly and distinctive layer of edge fat.

Cut from British or Irish beef by our butchers, these steaks are ideal for hot-and-fast cooking in a pan, on a griddle or over the BBQ. The fat cap helps add flavour as it cooks, giving you a steak that feels a little different from the usual sirloin, ribeye or rump.

Available in 8oz/220g and 12oz/340g steaks, picanha is a great choice for steak night, BBQ cooking or anyone looking to try one of the most popular South American beef cuts.

Hand-prepared, so weight may vary slightly.

Cooking Instructions

How to Cook Picanha Steak

Remove the steak from the packaging and allow it to sit at room temperature for around 30 minutes before cooking. Pat dry with kitchen paper.

Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper just before cooking. Heat a heavy frying pan, griddle or skillet until very hot, then add a little oil or lightly oil the steak.

Cook the steak over a high heat, turning halfway through, until cooked to your liking. As a guide for a steak around 2cm thick, cook for around 2 to 3 minutes each side for rare, 3 to 4 minutes each side for medium-rare, or 4 to 5 minutes each side for medium.

Remove from the pan, place on a warm plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for around 5 minutes before serving.
