Picanha is a very popular piece of meat served at all-you-can-eat barbecue restaurants (“churrascarias” or “rodízios” or “espeto corrido”) in Brazil. Also known as rump cover, picanha is a Brazilian cut of beef considered in many countries as the best part of the cow (even better than filet mignon) due to its distinct flavor. It is not surprising that nowadays Brazil is the world’s largest producer/exporter of beef, offering the quality of its meat in more than 150 countries!
