Big thanks to @guga, @GugaFoods for having us on and sharing his knowledge about the king of Brazilian barbecue – picanha.

In this episode of Cooking With Volk, we dive deep into one of the world’s most legendary cuts of beef: PICANHA. Known as the crown jewel of Brazilian BBQ, picanha has a reputation for unbeatable tenderness, juiciness, and that signature fat cap that renders down into perfection.

Guga takes us step by step through his process – from cutting the steaks to the right thickness, to seasoning debates (salt only vs pepper, garlic, and rubs), all the way through to grilling over hot charcoal without burning or over-rendering the fat. Along the way we talk steak myths, Brazilian tradition vs Aussie backyard BBQ culture, and share experiments that prove sometimes the “rules” aren’t always right.

Whether you’re a steak purist or love experimenting with bold flavors, this episode will give you practical techniques to elevate your next barbecue. Learn about grain direction, why medium rare is the sweet spot, the importance of fat rendering, and even why a meat thermometer can be your best friend (yes, Volk got converted).

By the end of this cook, you’ll know exactly how to prepare picanha the right way – with tips from the GOAT of YouTube steaks himself. And trust us… once you nail this cut, you’ll never look at steak the same again.

🔥 Sit back, fire up the grill, and enjoy another episode of Cooking With Volk – where we bring together fighting spirit, family, and food.
