Make Woolworths’ beef picanha rump your cut of choice – it's matured for a minimum of 28 days to guarantee flavour and tenderness. Picanha is a prized Brazilian cut known for its thick fat cap – it’s the top of the rump – and is rich and succulent. Woolworths' picanha is best cooked whole, in the oven and finished on the braai, or seared and enjoyed with a light sauce and garnish, tataki style, to fully appreciate and enjoy this flavourful cut.
