This is USDA Prime beef loin top sirloin cap, also known as picanha or coulotte, a premium cut from the top sirloin primal. This boneless cut is sold by the pound and features excellent marbling throughout, which contributes to exceptional tenderness and rich, beefy flavor.

The top sirloin cap is the most prized portion of the top sirloin, known for its superior texture and taste compared to standard sirloin cuts. USDA Prime grading indicates the highest level of marbling and quality, representing only about 2% of all beef produced in the United States. This cut is typically trimmed of its fat cap at Costco and sliced into individual steaks, though whole cap roasts may be available.

Ideal for grilling, roasting, or Brazilian-style rotisserie preparation, the sirloin cap delivers steakhouse quality at a competitive price point. The generous marbling ensures the meat stays juicy and flavorful when cooked to medium-rare or medium doneness.
