The Best Sirloin Cuts Explained: Picanha, Bavette, Tri-Tip & Top Sirloin on the Kamado Joe!

The most underrated beef cuts on the entire steer all come from the same primal — and most backyard cooks have never tried them: Picanha, Bavette, Center Cut Top Sirloin, and Tri-Tip. One primal. Four cuts. Each cut comes from a different muscle group. Each one demands a different approach. Get any of them wrong and you're chewing leather. Get them right and you'll never go back to ribeye. I brought in Darin from the butcher shop to break down the sirloin, and then I cooked all four cuts on the Kamado Joe. THE FOUR CUTS: • Picanha (Sirloin Cap) — the Brazilian steakhouse legend with the thick fat cap • Bavette (Flap Steak) — marbled, juicy, and the fastest cook on the board • Center Cut Top Sirloin — the steakhouse cut that's been ruined by bad technique • Tri-Tip — the triangular roast every Texas backyard cook needs in their rotation MASTER YOUR GRILL: *Get my new cookbook* "The Texas Backyard Kitchen - Complete Meals from Fire to Table: https://kamadojoemasterclass.com/the-texas-backyard-kitchen/ *Get my Kamado Joe Owner's Handbook* (100+ pages of setup, maintenance, and pro techniques): https://kamadojoemasterclass.com/the-kamado-joe-owners-handbook/ 🔗 The one that worked (serrated grip tool): https://amzn.to/4nN1YDC Serrated Rib Membrane Removal Tool — Amazon Watch my video about Why You Need a FireBoard Temperature Control Device here: https://youtu.be/L5ybR3GnTbQ PAID AFFILIATE LINKS Knives Zwilling Pro 8" Chef's Knife: https://amzn.to/4halBSK Zwilling Pro 4" Paring Knife: https://amzn.to/3VYVZhO Zwilling Pro 5.5" Boning Knife: https://amzn.to/4q5GzGb Dalstrong 12" Slicing Knife: https://amzn.to/42AdnNx Dalstrong 8" Butcher's Knife: https://amzn.to/3IY0ztN BBQ Tools & Supplies Smithey Ironware 10" Cast-Iron Skillet: https://smithey-ironware.pxf.io/1GRm2x FireBoard 2 Drive: https://fireboardlabs.sjv.io/mOLV9q FireBoard Pro: https://fireboardlabs.sjv.io/kOyX4d FireBoard 2: https://fireboardlabs.sjv.io/OekJrN Kamado Joe Cover: https://amzn.to/46S8IrE Kamado Joe Karbon Steel Griddle: https://amzn.to/4nUe3pm SMOKEWARE Chimney Cap for Kamado Joe: https://amzn.to/42hy5BR Kamado Joe Classic: amzn.to/3MXpaNT Kamado Joe Cast-Iron Grates: amzn.to/4ehLJIP Kamado Joe Griddle Plate: amzn.to/3AYbL5e High-Heat Gloves (ULINE S-25687): https://www.uline.com/Product/ProductDetailRootItem?modelnumber=S-25687 Leather Welding Gloves: https://amzn.to/4rMWlG7 Pellet Smoke Tube (Set): https://amzn.to/4aAvR3J Kick Ash Basket: https://amzn.to/4qdnNwI Kick Ash Can: https://amzn.to/4rGjIkshttps://amzn.to/4rGjIks Karbon Steel Griddle: https://amzn.to/4nUe3pm Beef Tallow: https://amzn.to/3QrFfR0 Recipes at https://kamadojoemasterclass.com.com If you like the video let me know, and please subscribe.
