Description
Picanha steak is a popular South American cut, widely known in the UK as rump cap. With its rich, beefy flavour and distinctive layer of fat, it makes an adventurous alternative for steak lovers.
What is picanha steak?
Picanha steak is cut from the top of the rump and is especially popular in Brazilian cooking. One of its defining features is the fat cap, which helps keep the meat succulent and adds flavour as it cooks. The result is a tender, flavoursome steak that is ideal for pan-frying, grilling or cooking on the barbecue.
Your order is prepared in Linlithgow by our skilled butchers and delivered to your door fresh, so you can either freeze it or enjoy it within a few days. Our picanha steakdelivery makes it easy to enjoy this popular cut at home.
How to cook picanha steak
Before cooking, remove the picanha steaks from the fridge and allow them to come to room temperature. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Lightly brush the meat with a little neutral oil if needed, then place the steaks fat-side down in a hot frying pan to render and crisp the fat. Sear the steaks on both sides until cooked to your liking, then rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Picanha steak can also be grilled or cooked on the barbecue. Take care not to remove the fat cap before cooking, as this contributes to the cut’s characteristic flavour and
succulent texture and check out our list of the best beef steak marinades.
Picanha cooking time
Picanha steaks generally take between 6 and 12 minutes to cook in a frying pan, depending on their thickness and how you like your steak. After rendering the fat cap, use the following timings as a guide:
- Rare - 2 to 3 minutes per side
- Medium rare - 3 to 4 minutes per side
- Medium - 4 to 5 minutes per side
- Well done - 5 to 6 minutes per side
Cooking times are approximate, so check the steak as it cooks and allow it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

How to cook
All raw meat products must be cooked thoroughly until they are piping hot.
Packaging
Your meat order is kept cool in transit because we either use an insulated expanded polystyrene box, or a recyclable tough corrugated cardboard box which is foil lined and insulated with bubble wrap. Both boxes are leak-proof and sturdy.
To keep your delivery cool, it is packed along with specially designed ice packs. Our ice packs are made with a frozen water-based gel, which keeps the meat at the correct temperature for up to 48 hours. When the ice does melt, it stays as a gel, which prevents the delivery becoming wet.
