Cheese-stuffed tri-tip


Explanation:
Tudo na aproximação, que os cortes de carne costuma ser diferentes.

Parece que a maminha é o músculo tensor da fáscia lata:

Em inglês o nome do corte que envolve o mesmo músculo parece ser "trip-tip":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tri-tip
Observe que parece ser um corte triangular, como a maminha.

Se a maminha for recheada com queijo, eu diria cheese-stuffed. Se for coberta, eu diria "with cheese".

Beef rump tail with cheese


Explanation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tri-tip: “The scientific name of this muscle is tensor fasciae latae,” “In Brazil it is a common cut for the traditional Brazilian churrasco and is known as maminha, not picanha, which is from the top sirloin, not the bottom.”

http://www.eblextrade.co.uk/books/beef-yield-guide/index.htm... shows this cut of meat labelled as ‘rump tail’ in a British publication.

‘"tri tip" site:uk’ Google search suggests that ‘tri-tip’ seems to be more of an American term and cut of meat.

‘beef "rump tail" site:uk’ Google search suggests that ‘rump tail’ seems to be the more common term used by British butchers (http://www.eblextrade.co.uk/books/beef-yield-guide/index.htm...

With an English-speaking, presumably international target audience, where the particular cut of meat in question may well be unfamiliar, perhaps the most useful information for English-speaking customers to this restaurant would be that this is a certain cut of beef. Therefore, I would be tempted to put ‘Beef rump tail with cheese’. If you have any way of finding out how this particular restaurant cooks the dish, you can perhaps consider adding further description, e.g. http://m.toptable.co.uk/restaurants/bem-brasil-deansgate/men...
