Coulotte steaks aka Brazilian picanha is probably one of the best cuts of meat out there! This cut of beef, although one of the most popular cuts of beef in Brazil, is little known elsewhere. In this post, I’ll walk you through where to buy picanha, and how to make super simple, super delicious picanha steaks on the grill.

Picanha is the Portuguese name for coulotte, a cut of meat sourced from the top sirloin – it’s so juicy and oh-so-tender. Picanha is seriously one of my absolute favorite cuts of meat. Not just me, though. Picanha is one of Brazil’s most prized beef cuts, and is typically the star of the Brazilian churrasco barbecue.
