Have You Heard of Coulotte Steak?

Coulotte steak, also known as picanha, is a cut of beef that comes from the top sirloin cap. It’s a popular cut in Brazilian churrascarias and features a fat cap that adds flavor and juiciness to the meat.

Here’s a simple way to cook coulotte steak:

• Start by seasoning the steak generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices or a marinade of your choice.
• Preheat a grill or a cast-iron skillet over high heat. You want a hot cooking surface to sear the steak.
• Place the steak on the hot grill or skillet and sear each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until you get a nice crust.
• Lower the heat to medium and continue to cook the steak until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, it’s usually around 130-135°F (54-57°C) internal temperature.

Once done, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it against the grain and serving.

Remember to adjust cooking times based on the thickness of your coulotte steak and your preferred level of doneness. Enjoy your delicious coulotte steak!
