Note:

Rump cap or top sirloin cap is a prime beef cut very popular in Brazil  known as picanha (pea-kan-yah). When cooked appropriately (rare or medium rare) this cut is incredibly tender, juicy and tasty.
Because Brazilian beef cuts are different from Australian ones, rump cap is not a cut you will find easily, ask your butcher to slice it for you.
