You made butchering a giant hunk of meat fun. I did shells for dinner last night, they were amazing and tender. Today I get to separate the rest and feel more confident. Thank you!

Dude! Why are throwing away that wonderful fat?! There are so many things you can do with it! Super-Dense Nutrition. Fat is a SuperFood.

Don't Fear the Fat! It was my parent's generation that spread the lie about fat. So many health problems, especially the degenerative diseases associated with aging, are caused by not eating enough fat. Today, se don't eat ENOUGH saturated fat.

noooo you could've made tallow with that fat you tossed

[wandac]

That fat makes great tallow. I save the fat in the freezer till I have enough to make a batch of tallow. Makes the best fries.

You did a great job explaining this cut! Thank you.

[chefgarrin]

Great job right to the point with a super sharp knife, I love it. BTW, the picanha has the beefiest flavor of any cut of beef, almost a gamey and pepper only seared to med/rare OMG!!

[rasimons]

When my top sirloin cap on looks nothing like this LMAO

[tvl]

Getting dizzy watching this, spin the meat too much.

Hey Kyle, I found this video pretty helpful! Picanha (pi-kawn-yuh) is a Brazilian cut which specifically refers to a section of the top sirloin cap cut into steaks sliced with the grain and the fat cap left intact. It's something that Brazilian churrascarias are well-known for. There's a method of determining where to cut picanha steaks from the cap by identifying the three veins that run through the cap. The side with the outermost vein gets trimmed off and the rest gets cut into steaks and picanha steaks traditionally *must be cut with the grain*. Picanha is cut with the grain because then the final slices when you eat will be against the grain, meaning the bite will be as tender as possible. Guga's channel Sous Vide Everything has a great video explaining how to identify and cut picanha steaks if you're interested.

Nice butcher skills.

I got mime for 35$ thats the advantages for working in a meat plant

[spanthrax]

1.its myoglobin not blood
2. dont point at the muscles with your knife, you scored the shit out of it.
3. its called silver skin not silver seam
4. the "garbage piece of skin" is bone skin
