Picanha: Brazilian Legend in a Polish Version. The Queen of the Rump
Picanha, also known as sirloin cap (okrywa krzyżowej), is one of the most iconic beef cuts globally. Beef primal cuts like Picanha are distinguished by a resilient structure and intense flavor. The key to its legend is the characteristic fat layer – thick, creamy, and full of flavor, which slowly renders during grilling, giving the meat unparalleled juiciness. This meat combines South American tradition with Polish quality.
Farming and Quality: Young Heifer, Free-Range Grazing
At BBQ.pl, we offer Picanha sourced from trusted, certified farms in Poland, prioritizing ethics and animal welfare. Our beef is sourced from young heifers, whose meat features a more delicate structure. Animals are fed natural volume feed and have access to pastures. This natural growth translates into meat quality that you can feel: an excellent structure of resilient fibers and intense flavor.
Aging and Control: You Decide the Cut
Picanha in the BBQ.pl offer is wet-aged (moisture-aged) for a minimum of 21 days, maturing in controlled conditions, which increases its tenderness. By choosing to buy the full primal cut, you gain full control – you decide how to slice it: into thick steaks (approx. 3–4 cm), slices, or braising cubes, and you save on portioning costs. You utilize 100% of the raw material.
Preparation and Luxury: Churrasco on Your Grill
Picanha is a meat with character, best served whole or sliced into thick steaks, grilled over live fire (churrasco classic). Serve with chimichurri sauce and grilled vegetables. This is the steak of dreams for a grill with friends or an exquisite dinner. Ordering from BBQ.pl means choosing a product that makes an impression and stands its ground purely on flavour.
