Picanha

Picanha is a popular cut of beef used across many cuisines — particularly Brazilian and American grilling traditions — known for its beefy flavor and tender cap of meat that’s often roasted, grilled or sliced thin for steaks. It’s commonly served as a centerpiece for barbecues and churrascos and celebrated for its rich taste and versatility in simple preparations. As a source of animal protein, Picanha provides about 26.5g of protein per 100g, and is also a notable dietary source of vitamin B12, selenium and zinc, nutrients that support energy metabolism and immune function. Nutritionally, it delivers a high-quality amino acid profile and tends to be satisfying in meals, making it useful when you want a protein-forward dish that helps promote fullness while supplying important micronutrients.
