A juicy picanha burger made with premium Brazilian sirloin cap beef, grilled to perfection and served on a toasted brioche bun. The rich marbling of the picanha delivers exceptional flavor, while fresh lettuce, tomato, and melted cheese create the perfect balance of texture and taste.

This gourmet picanha hamburger combines the bold, beefy flavor of Brazil's most prized cut with classic burger toppings. Seared over high heat for a smoky crust and a tender interior, it's a restaurant-quality burger that is both hearty and unforgettable.
