At 12 Cuts Brazilian Steakhouse, we take immense pride in the dishes we serve, always striving to offer our patrons an unforgettable culinary journey. Among our menu's shining stars, the Tomahawk Ribs hold a special place. Here's an inside look at the perfect succulent cut of meat. Enjoy!
When we say "Tomahawk Ribs", we're not just being fancy. This name is derived from the unique way the rib is cut, resembling an axe or tomahawk. This long bone is French-trimmed, leaving an amazing presentation. The cut is not just about looks; it's about flavor. That bone gives our ribs a richness and depth you can't find in other cuts. Every bite is a blend of tenderness and taste, making it a showstopper on our menu.
Our chefs at 12 Cuts Brazilian Steakhouse are truly passionate about what they do. When they get their hands on a Tomahawk Rib, magic happens. First, the ribs get doused with our secret blend of spices. We perfected this blend over time to complement the natural flavors of the meat. Then, they are slow-roasted, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to become wonderfully tender. The end result? Ribs that are juicy, flavorful, and quite simply, unforgettable.
Now, while our Tomahawk Ribs are the star of the show, what's a star without its supporting cast? At 12 Cuts Brazilian Steakhouse, we've carefully curated a selection of sides and wines that enhance the rib experience. For instance, our buttery mashed potatoes or our crisp, fresh salads create a balance on the plate. And if you're a wine lover, our expert staff can recommend a glass that pairs harmoniously with the ribs. Whether you prefer a robust red or a milder white, there's a bottle in our cellar that's perfect for the occasion.

Fraldinha is a Brazilian beef cut from the bottom sirloin, prized for its deep beef flavor and coarse, open grain. At 12 Cuts Brazilian Steakhouse in Dallas, it comes to your table fire-roasted on the skewer and carved in thin slices. This guide covers where the cut comes from and what to call it at an American butcher.
The 12 Cuts dinner menu describes fraldinha as beef bottom sirloin. The bottom sirloin sits in the rear of the animal below the top sirloin. Butchers break it into smaller cuts. One of those is the sirloin flap, which the Beef It's What's For Dinner program also lists as bavette and flap meat.
Fraldinha cooks fast over high heat and takes seasoning well. Both qualities suit a skewer over a charcoal fire, which is how churrascarias serve it.
In the US, the closest match to fraldinha steak is the sirloin flap, also sold as bavette. Flank steak is a different muscle from the belly, even though the two often get mixed up on menus and in recipes.
| Name | Where you will see it | Part of the animal |
|---|---|---|
| Fraldinha | Brazilian churrascarias, including 12 Cuts | Bottom sirloin |
| Sirloin flap or bavette | US butchers and meat counters | Bottom sirloin |
| Flank steak | US grocery stores | Belly, a separate cut |
Fraldinha is a bottom sirloin cut. Its nearest US equivalent is the sirloin flap, so ask your butcher for sirloin flap or bavette to cook it at home.
Fraldinha has long, visible fibers, so it has more chew than filet mignon. Slicing it thin across those fibers keeps each bite tender, which is why it is carved in thin slices at the table.
At 12 Cuts, fraldinha is fire-roasted on the skewer over the charcoal grill. The gauchos bring the skewer to your table and carve slices straight onto your plate. The outside picks up char from the fire while the center stays juicy.
Fraldinha shares the skewer rotation with picanha and ribeye, so you can taste them side by side in one meal. For a closer look at how fraldinha stacks up against other favorites, read our guide to the best cuts on the menu.
Fraldinha is part of the fixed-price churrasco dinner, with the salad bar and warm sides included. See every cut on the dinner menu, then reserve through the reservations page or call (469) 327-8903.
When it comes to Brazilian steakhouses, there's a signature dish that often steals the spotlight: Picanha. At 12 Cuts Brazilian Steakhouse, this delicious treat isn't just a menu item; it's a testament to the art of Brazilian cooking. Let's take a journey through the flavors and traditions of the perfect culinary cut.
If you're unfamiliar with the term, Picanha refers to a prized cut of beef located at the back of the animal, right above the tail. This top sirloin cap is tender, juicy, and possesses a layer of fat that, when cooked, becomes a melt-in-the-mouth experience. Brazil cherishes this cut, often considering it the best part of a barbecue, and rightly so. Every bite of Picanha offers a rich, beefy flavor enhanced by its natural fats, making it a favorite for many.
At 12 Cuts Brazilian Steakhouse, the Picanha preparation is nothing short of an art form. The beef is seasoned only with coarse salt – nothing more, nothing less. This minimal seasoning ensures that the natural flavors of the meat remain front and center. Once seasoned, it's skewered and grilled over open flames. As the exterior gets a crispy, golden crust, the inside retains its juicy softness. It's this striking contrast that makes each bite an explosion of flavor.
So, what makes the Picanha at 12 Cuts stand out in a sea of Brazilian steakhouses? Firstly, it's about sourcing quality beef. We understand the value of fresh, prime cuts and ensure that the Picanha we serve meets these high standards. Then, there's the ambiance. The warmth of the place, the inviting aromas, and the sizzle of meat on the grill all contribute to a sensory delight.
