    Hi there. So for my happiness as a Brazilian Gaucho at Costco in Winnipeg / Canada they keep the Fat on it. And even thou the cut is a little bigger than the cut we use in Brazil the Top Sirloin Cap here I believe can be called Picanha. But in any case is delicious and is good to know that is different from US Costco to CA Costco.

      YES YES YES to keeping the fat on, eh. Sadly this means most of the time we have to get the whole primal and butcher it ourselves. Oh well ... the top sirloin makes a good sous vide roast - I run it at 110 F for 12 hours which tenderizes it (enzymes) then 12 more hours at 130, then drain the juices (and do something with them, eh) and dunk still in bag in ice water for 10 minutes, then season w pepper and sear the piss out of it. - comes out great.
      Anyone/everyone: Always salt by weight (1-1.5%) BEFORE cooking as such low-ish temp - at least a day in the fridge as a dry brine on a rack, and get the salt in every nook and cranny eh. Bacteria on healthy beef is strictly on the outside - so with a primal focus that would be on the fat side of the cap, but again, every bit of surface should be rubbed in w the salt.
      But back to the target - the sirloin cap. The rule as I learned it is that from the "pointy tip" of the muscle to the third vein away from the tip is picanha, and the rest is "coxão duro" - still tasty but not as tender. Yes? Picanha is the best ... cut with the grain if doing steaks (final cut on plate is then cross-grain), across grain if doing churrascaria style on a spit and carved sequentially. Yumm.

    @therock5422 2 года назад +1

    Do you find there’s any specific benefit to crowding steaks like that on the grill versus giving them more space?
    Also, top sirloin caps are a bit of an off shape versus, say, a strip or ribeye. Do you find multiple flips to work better than just one?

    • @FireWaterCooking
      @FireWaterCooking  2 года назад +1

      since these were already cooked and I was just searing them to get a good crust, it made zero difference if they were "crowded" and yes multiple flips is better as it allows you to build a better crust without over-cooking the interior..

    It’s ridiculous that they blade tenderize there steaks! Especialy the things like the rib eye and they even do the tenderloin! They end up taking a perfectly good steak and actually lowering the value, like come on really? Anyone who knows anything about meat knows it’s not a good idea to blade tenderize good steaks because then you have to cook it well done I can’t believe they actually do that, I have always wondered what there in-house butcher thinks about that, people need to start a petition to Cosco to get them to stop doing that they would get so many customers back that don’t buy there steaks at Cosco for only that reason

    • @FireWaterCooking
      @FireWaterCooking  3 года назад

      they do it because they never wet age their steaks.. I agree but that is why I buy the full primal and cut my own. they do not blade tenderize the whole primal..

    Btw this is not picanha. Picanha doesn’t come from the loin but from the round… it is the top of the round shaped like a triangle and with the cap fat!!! Picanha has 3 distinct veins and anything past the 3rd vein counting from the point of the triangle IS NOT PICANHA anymore!
