Picanha is a large hunk of beef which comes from an area above the cow's rump, straddling both the sirloin and round primal cuts. Outside of Brazil it's also known as the rump cap or sirloin cap, but it isn't common to find in grocery stores because butchers normally break the large roast down into more familiar sirloin steaks and round cuts.

Despite rising interest in vegetarianism, and the availability of plant-based options at popular fast food chains, Americans love meat. Americans especially love beef, with the industry posting record sales in 2024 despite high prices (over 55% of all meat sales).

Cuts from different parts of the animal have their own characteristics, and aren't necessarily interchangeable.
