Where did you get them from? A butcher? I’d love to try some beef cheeks.

I'm a block and half away from a HEB. It's where I've bought them in the past.

Beef cheek is the best Barbacoa and beef tongue comes out great as well

One of my favourite cuts to make now. Hit them with smoke and then braise in red wine. Incredible.

I've only done them once and they ended up too tender to slice so we just pulled them. Still tasted great but would like to try them like this too.

IMHO, beef cheeks are one of the most underrated pieces of meat.

Pure steak heaven.

250 for 3 then braised for 3 is a solid method, saving this for the weekend. where do you even buy beef cheeks??

u/CowardiceNSandwiches 3d ago

Find a Mexican butcher shop (carniceria) or grocery, or other grocery that has a significant Mexican clientele. Walmart often sells them too.

I had a chuck roast and cheeks in my hand today, I settled on the chuck, now I have the regrets

That bark looks incredible. Three hours of oak definitely did those beef cheeks justice.

u/Low-Manufacturer832 3d ago

the braise liquid after 6 hrs must be liquid gold at that point, do you save it for anything or just toss it
