I'm lucky enough to have a South American market nearby and I can get picanha easily. They get theirs from IBP. It seems that the ones that are under 2.5# cook up the best and are more tender, whether you cook them whole or cut up and put on the rotissirie - don't get me wrong though - the bigger ones are very good as well. One thing I can pretty much guarantee - once you find some and cook it up, you'll be glad you did. Picanha has been a big favorite around casa de gtr for a while - esp. on a nice baguette with chimichurri. Probablly my favorite cut of beef these days.
