Watch the class on the complete Alcatra cuts with @MarceloBolinhaCarnes, a master in the art of deboning beef. We will remove cuts such as Picanha, Maminha, Baby Beef and Bombom from the alcatra. Soundtrack: @danielviola Maminha It is considered a very tender meat (when cut against the grain), juicy, with a mild flavor, which contains fat. It must be cut correctly, that is, against the grain, to accentuate its tenderness and flavor. Baby Beef Do you know the heart (core) of the alcatra? That's right, the one that is sold already cut into tall medallions? So, it was at the beginning of the 21st century that it received the name “Baby Beef” and became a trend in establishments as a cut of beef. At this time, it became more common to find cuts of meat for sale called “Baby Beef”. Baby beef is the name given to one of the noble cuts taken from the core of the alcatra, also called the heart or center of the alcatra. Bombom do Alcatra Bombom was discovered by the late Brazilian meat master, Marcos Bassi, in 1978. The piece is protected by an outer layer of fat, which must be removed, leaving the lean meat. Therefore, it is an ally for those who adopt a balanced diet, without giving up flavor. Picanha Picanha is located at the beginning of the rump and does not belong to the rump. Contrary to what many believe, the piece does not need to weigh up to 1.3 kg. This is because the size of the picanha varies according to the size of the animal's carcass and other factors such as the type of production and the animal's genetics.
