A little earlier, we posted a bit on the cut of beef named "culotte" that was obtained at a butcher shop in New York City.

The "culotte" is also known as the Brazilian "picanha" cut, which is spit roasted on long skewers and traditionally sliced thinly tableside. The meat is grain-fed (the grass fed version has a lot less of that delicious, melting yellow fat cap). Here's a couple pictures of these puppies getting grilled.

Yet another fantastic cut of meat from Dickson's Farm Stand, this one is grain fed (notice the thick fat cap - on the grass-fed piece there was not much of one). According to the "Cooks' Thesaurus", the culotte is part of the top cap of the sirloin.
