🥩 Meet Your New Favorite Cut: The Ultimate Roasted Picanha! 🥩

If you haven’t tried Picanha (also known as the Sirloin Cap or Coulotte) yet, you are in for an absolute treat. Known worldwide as the crown jewel of Brazilian steak-houses, this cut features a beautiful fat cap that melts right into the meat as it cooks—delivering rich flavor, supreme juicy tender bites, and incredible tenderness in every single slice.
Whether you're cooking a whole Picanha roast or individual pre-cut Picanha steaks, this easy technique guarantees steakhouse-quality results right at home!

🔥 Easy Reverse-Sear Picanha Recipe

Ingredients:

•1 Clear Choice Beef Picanha (Whole Roast OR pre-cut Picanha Steaks)

•Coarse Kosher Salt or Sea Salt (generously applied)

•Freshly cracked black pepper

•Optional: Fresh garlic powder, rosemary, or a touch of butter for basting

Instructions:

1. Prep the Meat:
Score the top fat cap in a crosshatch pattern (be careful not to cut into the meat). This helps the fat render beautifully!

2. Season Simply:
Generously coat all sides with coarse salt and black pepper. Pro tip: Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.

3. Low & Slow (The Oven/Smoker):

•For Whole Roast:
Roast at 250°F until the internal temperature reaches 115°F–120°F for rare/medium-rare (about 45–60 mins).

•For Pre-Cut Picanha Steaks:
Roast at 250°F until internal temp reaches 115°F (about 20–25 mins).

4. The Ultimate Sear:
Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet or grill to high heat. Sear the meat—starting fat-side down first—for 1 to 2 minutes per side until you get a crisp, deep golden-brown crust.

5. Rest & Slice:
Let it rest for 10 minutes to lock in all those delicious juices. Slice against the grain for maximum tenderness!

The Secret to the Perfect Steak? Tallow-Basted Ribeye 🥩🔥

If you want restaurant-quality crust on your steak at home, skip the seed oils and butter burning in the pan. The secret is searing with beef tallow—it withstands incredible heat for a deep, golden crust without smoking out your kitchen!

🍳 Cast Iron Tallow-Basted Ribeye
Ingredients:

🥩1 thick-cut Clear Choice Beef Ribeye Steak
*2 tbsp Clear Choice Beef Cooking Tallow
🧂Coarse sea salt & freshly cracked black pepper
🍃Fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs
🧄2 smashed garlic cloves

1. Prep & Season
Room temperature is key for an even sear
Remove your steak from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Pat it completely dry with paper towels (moisture is the enemy of a good crust!) and season generously with coarse sea salt and black pepper.

2. Heat the Tallow
Get the skillet smoking hot
Heat a heavy cast iron skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of beef tallow and let it melt until glossy and shimmering.

3. Sear the Steak
Develop a deep golden crust
Place the steak in the hot skillet. Sear for about 2 minutes without moving it, then flip. The high smoke point of tallow creates a deep, caramelized crust without bitter scorched flavors.

4. Baste with Tallow & Aromatics
Infuse rich flavor in the final minute
Add the remaining tablespoon of tallow, garlic cloves, and fresh herbs to the pan. Tilt the skillet slightly and spoon the hot melted tallow continuously over the top of the steak for another 1–2 minutes until your desired internal temperature is reached (125°F for medium-rare).

5. Rest & Serve
Lock in the juices
Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Drizzle any remaining tallow pan juices right over the top!

📍 Stop by the Clear Choice Beef Farm Store to grab your Ribeye (or any of your favorite prime cuts) and a fresh jar of rendered cooking tallow!
