Picanha is a cut of beef also known as the rump cap (UK), top sirloin cap (US), or coulotte steak (US). It consists of the terminal, triangular part of the biceps femoris muscle, in the rump, with its fat cap. It became popular first in Brazil, and later in Portugal. It is now popular across Latin America in churrascarias and rodízio restaurants.
