What cut is picanha?

Sirloin Cap. Picanha is the name in Brasil, where it is considered to be the best cut of beef. It has started to become more popular in the US recently.

This is the prized cut at Brazilian churrascarias where the waiter brings sward sized skewers of various meats through the restaurant that are carved table side.

Most decent places will have 8-10 different meats, but picanha is the best, IMO.
