Premium Wagyu 9+ Picanha Steak in Montreal
Our wagyu 9+ picanha steak is the ultimate fusion of Brazilian tradition and Japanese excellence. This cut comes from the top sirloin cap, so it’s Brazil’s most prized steak. Because we use 100% Fullblood wagyu, the marble score reaches 9+. As a result, fat distribution is extreme throughout. Furthermore, each piece is hand-cut fresh at our Laval butcher shop.
What Makes Our Wagyu 9+ Picanha Steak Special?
At Boucherie Beirut, we source only Fullblood wagyu for this cut. This means you get 100% Japanese genetics in every bite. The 9+ marble score ensures fat weaves through every fibre. As a result, the texture is impossibly tender and buttery. Furthermore, the signature fat cap stays intact during cooking. This attention to sourcing sets our product apart.
Cut Profile and Characteristics
The picanha comes from the top of the sirloin. A thick fat cap covers the tender muscle beneath. Because this is Fullblood wagyu, marbling exceeds conventional beef. The meat has intense umami and rich, beefy taste. Furthermore, the fat cap should stay on during cooking. It melts and infuses every bite with richness.

How to Cook Your Wagyu 9+ Picanha Steak
First, bring your steak to room temperature for 30 minutes. Then, season simply with coarse salt. Next, sear fat-cap-down in a hot cast iron. Cook 3 to 4 minutes until crispy. After that, flip and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side. Finally, rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Because of the intense marbling, medium-rare works best.
Best Pairings for Wagyu 9+ Picanha Steak
This cut pairs well with simple sides, so the wagyu flavour shines. Consider roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad. Chimichurri adds brightness without overpowering the beef. Furthermore, creamy mashed potatoes complement the richness. Because the fat content is high, acidic sides balance each bite. Try pickled onions or a squeeze of lemon.
