Our Story

Rooted in tradition,
driven by quality

Rei da Picanha Meat Market was born from a simple conviction: that the best meat should come from the best sources, prepared by people who understand it intimately. Our founder brought the Brazilian churrasco tradition to Newark — a culture where every cut is honored and nothing is left to chance.

Today, we continue that legacy. Every picanha, ribeye, and brisket that passes through our doors has been personally selected, properly aged, and prepared with the same care our founder demonstrated on day one. We are not a supermarket. We are a market — a place where expertise meets the counter.

What We Offer

Our Specialties

Picanha

The crown jewel of Brazilian barbecue. Our picanha is sourced from premium beef, trimmed to the signature fat cap, and ready for your grill — just as our founder intended.

USDA Prime & Choice

From ribeyes that melt on the tongue to strip steaks with perfect marbling — our USDA selection meets the highest grading standards for flavor and tenderness.

Custom Cuts

Tell us what you need — thickness, trim, bone-in or boneless — and our butchers will prepare it precisely. We cut for your method, not the other way around.

Whole & Half Animals

For events, restaurants, or families who value having the finest protein on hand — we process and prepare whole and half animals, handled with respect from start to finish.

Marinated & Prepared

Our house marinades — picanha salt, chimichurri, garlic herb — are crafted in small batches. Order ahead and pick up restaurant-quality preparations ready for your kitchen.

Special Orders

Looking for a specific cut, aging period, or import? We work with trusted suppliers across the country to source exactly what you envision. Call or email us to discuss.

Our Philosophy

We don't sell meat.
We curate experience.

There is a difference between a commodity and a craft. At Rei da Picanha, we treat every piece of beef as if it were destined for a table that matters — yours. That means knowing where it comes from, how it was raised, and exactly how it should be cut.

Our customers include home cooks who host Sunday gatherings, chefs who demand consistency, and families who simply want the best for their loved ones. Whatever your reason, we meet you with the same standard: nothing leaves our counter unless we would serve it at our own table.
