With its succulent texture and rich, beefy flavour, the rump cap, also known as picanha, is a prized cut in Brazilian steakhouses and high-end grilling. Renowned for its generous fat cap and incredible juiciness, this cut delivers unmatched tenderness and bold taste when grilled, roasted, or pan-seared.
Our Individually Rump Cap comes from 100% grass-fed, free-range cattle raised in the pristine coastal pastures of Tasmania and Victoria, ensuring premium quality, exceptional marbling, and deep flavour. Whether cooked whole or sliced into thick, juicy steaks, it’s a must-have for meat lovers.
Cut Description & Characteristics
The rump cap (picanha) is cut from the top section of the rump, where a thick fat cap sits atop tender, well-marbled meat, creating an unforgettable eating experience.
Our Juicy & Flavorful Picanha Cut stands out because of:
-
Superior Marbling – Ensures a buttery texture and juicy mouthfeel, locking in flavour during cooking.
-
Thick Fat Cap – Renders down beautifully, basting the meat in natural juices for deep, beefy richness.
-
Bold, Beefy Taste – Offers intense umami depth, making it perfect for simple seasoning and high-heat cooking.
-
Versatile Cooking Options – Ideal for grilling, roasting, reverse-searing, or skewering churrasco-style for a charred crust and tender centre.
Best Cooking Methods for Maximum Flavour
The rump cap shines with high-heat cooking methods, allowing its fat cap to render slowly, infusing the meat with unmatched juiciness and flavour.
1. Grilled Picanha – Brazilian Churrasco Perfection
Cooking picanha over an open flame allows the fat cap to crisp up, creating a crispy, smoky bark while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Skewer thick slices of rump cap and grill over hot coals for an authentic Brazilian steakhouse experience, full of flavour and perfectly charred edges.
2. Reverse-Seared Rump Cap – Ultimate Juiciness & Crust
Starting at a low oven temperature (120°C), cook the rump cap until it reaches medium-rare. Then, sear it in a hot pan or on a grill to form a crisp, golden-brown crust while keeping the inside buttery-soft and perfectly tender. This method guarantees superb texture and flavour.
3. Roasted Whole – Slow & Succulent
A whole roasted rump cap cooked at 160°C for 90 minutes allows the fat cap to baste the meat, ensuring it stays moist and juicy. The slow-roasting process also helps to develop a rich, savoury flavour. When sliced against the grain, it results in tender, melt-in-your-mouth bites.
4. Pan-Seared Rump Cap Steaks – Quick & Delicious
For a fast, flavourful meal, thick rump cap steaks can be pan-seared in butter, garlic, and rosemary. This method creates a golden crust on the outside while keeping the inside succulent and juicy. It's a quick, easy way to enjoy restaurant-quality steak without the wait.
Flavour Pairings & Serving Ideas
Juicy, rich, and packed with natural umami, the rump cap pairs beautifully with bold spices, buttery sauces, and vibrant sides.
Best Seasonings & Marinades
-
Traditional Brazilian Churrasco Rub – Sea salt, cracked black pepper, and garlic enhance the natural beefiness without overpowering its flavour.
-
Garlic Butter Marinade – Melted butter, roasted garlic, and fresh parsley add depth and a silky richness when basted over grilled picanha.
-
Smoky Paprika & Herb Blend – Smoked paprika, oregano, thyme, and a touch of cumin create a savoury, aromatic crust with a hint of smokiness.
