About Picanha steak

Picanha steak, a prized cut from Brazilian cuisine, is sourced from the rump cap of the cow. Renowned for its tenderness and rich flavor, this beef cut is distinguished by a thick layer of fat that adds moisture and enhances its succulence when cooked. Traditionally grilled over open flames or skewered for a churrasco barbecue, Picanha is both flavorful and versatile. Nutritionally, it is a high-protein option rich in essential amino acids, supporting muscle repair and growth. It also provides vital nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins that promote energy production and immune health. However, its prominent fat cap contributes to higher saturated fat levels, which should be eaten in moderation as part of a balanced diet. For a healthier preparation, trim excess fat and serve with nutrient-packed sides like leafy greens or roasted vegetables to balance its indulgent profile.
