culotte steak

Sirloin cap (also called culotte steak, coulotte steak, or picanha) is a fantastic, tender, slightly lesser-known cut of beef. It lends itself beautifully to our easy reverse searing method. You can serve it with the chimichurri linked here, or however you like. On salads or sandwiches, plain, or with your favorite sauce.

How To Cook Coulotte Steak Recipe | Sip Bite Go

(8 ounces) coulotte steak ((aka top sirloin cap roast))

olive oil

tsp salt

tsp black pepper

garlic powder

make steak seasoning

Make the coulotte steak seasoning. In a small mixing bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to make the dry rub.

score coulotte fat cap

Score the coulotte fat cap. Score fat cap in 1/2 inch perpendicular lines. See Sip Bite Go recipe video for coulotte steak for an example.

season coulotte steak

Season coulotte steak. Generously sprinkle steak seasoning all over beef cut.

sear coulotte steak

Sear coulotte steak. Heat a cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Add olive oil and once it becomes hot and shiny and begins to smoke, add the steak, fat side down. Sear steak about 2-3 minutes until a brown crust forms on the side of the beef touching the pan. Flip the steak and sear the other side for about 2-3 minutes until steak forms a brown crust. Quickly sear the edges (using tongs to hold the steak) for 10-20 seconds each to brown them, but not longer so the steak doesn’t overcook.

check internal temperature

Use a meat thermometer to check the steak temperature. The steak in the Sip Bite go recipe was cooked to medium rare, almost medium at 135°F-140°F. If steak has not yet reached your desired steak temperature, keep flipping it every 20-30 seconds until it reaches temperature. (I recommend to take it off the heat a little before the desired steak temp has been reached, since it continues cooking off of the heat).

rest coulotte steak

Rest steak on a cutting board for 10 minutes, then serve. You can add 1 tbsp butter, or compound butter as seen on Sip Bite Go, on top of steak at this time to melt and add juicy flavor.

grill coulotte steak

Use the same method above, but brush or spray some cooking spray on the grill before adding the steak. Cook steak on high heat (about 500°F). Use the same method of cooking a few minutes on each side, then flipping the steak until it reaches its desired temperature.

How To Cook Coulotte Steak - Cast Iron Sear (AKA PICANHA)

Grilled picanha steak is one of those easy Brazilian recipes full of juicy, melt-in-your-mouth flavors. The steaks are skewered and grilled until tender, then served with homemade chimichurri sauce and lime wedges. The fat cap keeps it incredibly moist and adds so much flavor! Check out also our picanha roast!

Grilled Picanha Steak

2-3 lbs picanha roast

Chimichurri sauce (Recipe in the notes (OPTIONAL))

Lime wedges

SLICE THE PICANHA ROAST: Do NOT remove the fat cap!!! Instead, score the cap of fat in a crosshatch pattern, NOT cutting too deeply. Slice the roast into 1.5-2-inch steaks on an angle perpendicular to the fibers running diagonally through the picanha.

Depending on the size of your roast, it may yield 5 or more steaks. If you bought the picanha already sliced, you won’t need to slice it but score the fat cap!

SKEWER AND SEASON: Fold each picanha steak in half or C-shape and then skewer each through 2-metal skewers with the fat side down on the outside of the skewers. Next, season the steaks all over with the salt. Let them sit at room temperature while firing up your grill! NOTE: Depending on how long or short your skewers are, skewer only 2-3 steaks per skewer/double-skewer!

PREP THE CHARCOAL GRILL: Clean the grates of your grill. Set a two-zone grilling (hot and cool zones) if you don’t have a rotisserie. Use lump charcoal to give the meat a more authentic profile flavor! Preheat your charcoal grill at high heat (500 degrees F OR 260 degrees C).  Carefully, oil the grates of your grill!

GRILL THE PICANHA STEAKS:  Place the steaks directly between your hot and cool zones. Make sure to flip the skewers every 2-3 minutes, closing the lid in between flipping. This will help the steaks to be cooked more evenly.

Begin to check their internal temperature with a meat thermometer after 15 minutes of cooking. It’ll take about 20-25 minutes to cook them to rare to medium-rare (125-130 degrees F (or 52-54 degrees C). The middle of the steaks will rare and the outside will be medium-rare.

LET THEM REST: Remove the meat skewers from the grill, tap them with the side of a knife to remove any extra rocks of salt (not dissolved), and let the steaks rest for 5 minutes, tented with foil,  before slicing to allow their juices to distribute.

SLICE AND SERVE: Use a sharp steak knife to slice the meat right off the skewer directly onto plates. Serve with chimichurri sauce and lime wedges on the side! NOTE: Brazilians usually eat the fat cap as well (it is flavorful) but you can make that choice for yourself.

EASY PICANHA RECIPE
Ingredients for Picanha Steak Recipe:
**2-3 lbs picanha roast (I used USDA CHOICE because it is cheaper and is still tender (other names: top sirloin cap, rump cover, rump cap, or culotte steak). NOTE: Do NOT remove the fat cap! Because it is a tender cut, there is no need to pay more for USDA prime or Wagyu.)
**2-3 TBSP of rock salt or 1 tablespoon per pound of meat

SERVE WITH:
Chimichurri sauce Recipe in the notes (OPTIONAL)
Lime wedges

Instructions how to cook picanha on grill:
1. SLICE THE PICANHA ROAST: Do NOT remove the fat cap!!! Instead, score the cap of fat in a crosshatch pattern, NOT cutting too deeply. Slice the roast into 1.5-2-inch steaks on an angle perpendicular to the fibers running diagonally through the picanha.

Recipe Notes:
CHIMICHURRI SAUCE
In a medium bowl, mix well:
½ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
½ cup finely chopped parsley
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 small red chili, de-seeded and finely chopped
¾ teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon coarse salt
½ teaspoon of black pepper
Let the sauce sit for at least 10 minutes to 1 hour to release all of the flavors into the oil before using.
But you can prepare this easy recipe up to 24 hours ahead and chill it, covered, in the fridge.
The ingredients must be finely chopped, with a chunky texture.
