About Garlic picanha

Garlic Picanha is a flavorful Brazilian-inspired dish that highlights the prized picanha cut, often referred to as the top sirloin cap. Seasoned generously with garlic, salt, pepper, and sometimes oil or herbs, the beef is typically cooked over high heat to achieve a perfect sear while preserving its juicy interior. Known for its tender texture and rich flavor, picanha is a favorite in churrasco-style barbecue. While the cut is naturally high in protein, it also contains moderate amounts of saturated fat due to its signature fat cap. Garlic lends health benefits, offering antioxidants and supporting heart health. The cooking method often involves grilling, which keeps additional oils or fats to a minimum, making it a balanced option when consumed in moderation. For an authentic experience, it’s often paired with fresh salads or roasted vegetables as a side, enhancing its nutritional profile.
