Picanha Steak

Picanha steak is a popular beef cut prized for its distinctive fat cap and rich flavour. Available from The Butcher’s Blade in Sandbach, Cheshire, it’s an excellent choice for steak night, grilling or a barbecue with friends.

How to cook: Season simply and sear in a hot pan or on the barbecue. If the fat cap is present, render it carefully for flavour, then finish cooking to your preferred doneness. Rest before slicing and cut across the grain where appropriate.

Serve with: Garlic butter, chimichurri, chips, grilled vegetables or a fresh salad. Picanha is also great sliced thinly for sharing.
