Tri-tip & Picanha

SIRLOIN Cuts with Structure & Depth

About the Cut

Sirloin cuts offering fuller beef flavor and defined structure. Picanha includes a protective fat cap that renders during cooking.

How to Cook It Properly

Preparation

  • Remove 45 minutes before cooking
  • Season generously
  • Do not remove fat cap from picanha

Cooking Method

  • Sear over high heat
  • For picanha, begin fat-side down
  • Finish in 375–400°F oven if thick
  • Target 125–130°F for medium-rare

Resting

  • Rest 10–15 minutes
  • Slice against the grain

Important

Tri-tip grain changes direction — slice carefully.
Picanha should never be overcooked.
