Some Thursday wood fired picanha in the rain.
Enjoy the simple things.

Looks banging!
Ordered my second picanha for Christmas.
Fat cap was 39% of the weight.
Is this common?
Already came in a couple pounds less than I asked for. Grateful we had few guests show up.
That sounds pretty high especially considering how light fat is compared to lean tissue.
That muscle does tend to have a lot of fat around the outside. It's the outer tear drop shaped muscle of a top sirloin butt (we call it rump here).
It's amazing tasting fat but it's hard to work with over charcoal or wood because of flare-ups. I usually trim it to no more than half an inch once sliced.
