Beef cheeks are great! I usually hit with rub, smoke them for a few hours, then braise the heck out of them until they’re fall apart tender. The make outrageous tacos!

Very cool. A cut I’ve enjoyed in restaurants but never made at home. 

Be sure to report back. Enjoy the cook!

7 hours total cook

Smoked for 3 hours then I crutched one in foil with a good glug of Guinness

The other  I wrapped in butcher’s paper 

Verdict? The crutched one you could eat with a spoon,in a good way

The butch’ paper not as tender 

Crutch👍

I love a coinquidink!  This video on Beef Cheeks was in my feed today from YouTube.  This is from the Glen and Friends cooking channel.
