Picanha...Performer...Pron!

So, back to true talk about the OP's subject. I don't meant to detract too much from the beef realm, but, is there a pork cut equivalent? I am imagining some crispy, crunchy pork fat kind of offering if there is a pork option.

Let's not forget to praise the beef flavor of this cut, but the toe curling goodness of that fat cap too. Fat is flavor. I'd hit that with lot of hardness!

Bob

Pork has the same cut, ask for a rump cap pork roast. I would think a good porketta, would work well with that style of cook.
 
Lots of money shots, okay!:wink:

PS....tell the Brazilians it's a fad. :twisted:

Bob

Anything less then a money shot,is a waste of the members of this fine sites time. In my honest opinion, this site needs a newbie section for members that are new to BBQ, and criticism should be enforced there. As far as the long time members section, don't post if you can't handle criticism.

no need for a plate, just eat it off the board, this was so farkin good I wll be doing this again soon. Thanks for lookinq

The key is going to be in the presentation and the pics. You will need to show just how much better those cuts are compared to ^^^^^^^ with visuals only. Anyone can SAY this is better than that, but getting that point across in a post and pics......takes talent and mastery on the grill and with a camera for that matter. Be ready for the criticism. :thumb:

Those pics up top are hard core money shots! They just are!

FYI, I never said the pics OP provided was not good. He did a great job with the cut of meat he had to work with. If you actually read the post i quoted, you would understand that i said there is way better cuts that can achieve better results cooked the same way. This has nothing to do with OP, he did a great job cooking this sub par cut of meat.
 
:hand: Please........

Try skewering some flap, or Hanger steaks cooked the same way. Then come back and spew that nonsense. I get you like this cut, or the way this cut is cooked, but lets not pretend its better then other cuts.

Actually, your argument is false because neither of those cuts have a fat cap, therefore there is no "same way" comparison to begin with.
 
I also did not find your post helpful, despite accidentally clicking the button indicating such :thumb:

Hold up, you actually found my post helpful.By mistake or not, i'll take it as a win. Thanks Brother, lol

Okay, then show us some pics that show better results with other cuts. The OP did an amazing job! Expecting no less from you!:thumb:

Had picanha for the first time at last year's SoCal bash and learned what the big deal about it was. Hoping to be lucky enough to try it again (hint, hint).

It's slow on here tonight, so I will add to the fire. Why stop at hanger steak. I bet ribeye cap would be better than hanger steak cooked that way. :-D
I read your original post, and agree, sirloin cap is not the best cut of beef out there. That's why, what Tom did is so special. It is easy to make a good cut of meat great, it is hard to make a lesser cut of meat, taste as good as a better cut of meat.

Absolutely spot on. It's both the tenderness of the sirloin cap AND that tasty fat cap.

Around here, most stores trim the fat cap down to an unacceptable level. I can buy it all day for $5 a lb, but don't. If you don't have that fat cap, it's not Picahna and the flavor suffers greatly.

Similarly, you don't get anywhere near the same flavor if you just put the cuts on a grill and cook it like a regular steak. The rotisserie and that fat cap keeps the meat continuously basted in rendered beef fat.

And no, you don't get the same effect or flavor from Hanger or Flap steak.

I vote that at the next SoCal Bash tom b can pull picanha cooking duty.

And I further vote that we pull picanha eating duty. :hungry:

Picanha Roast

I'm going do a Picanha/2.5 lbs like a roast on a grill. Came out great last time.I also tried one on my rotisserie, like it better as a roast. Roti might have over cook it.

Tom, the first time I posted pictures here I had more comments on the beers chosen than the food.
