Beef Cheek Meat

Cheek Meat:

• Cheek Meat: Cheek meat, also known as beef cheek meat, is a cut from the facial muscles of a cow, prized for its rich flavor and tenderness when slow-cooked.245+2 It is ideal for braising or stewing, where the long cooking time transforms it into a succulent, flavorful dish.245+2 This cut is often used in hearty meals like tacos, stews, and braised dishes.245+2

Cheek meat is a nutrient-dense cut that is typically inexpensive and can be a hit on the dinner table when prepared correctly.5 It is a tough muscle due to its constant use by the animal, so it needs to be cooked low and slow in liquid to soften it.567 Cheeks are packed full of collagen, which aids in the strength of hair, skin, nails, and bones.57

• Barbacoa Meat: Barbacoa meat is another name for beef cheek meat, which is slow-cooked with onion and garlic until juicy and tender.37 It is traditionally a Sunday morning treat but can be enjoyed any time.3 It is often served on tortillas with hot sauce and cilantro.37
• Availability: Cheek meat is not always widely available in supermarkets and may require ordering from a local butcher shop or online.57 It is a specialty cut, with only two cheeks per animal, making it less common on store shelves.57

Cooking Tips: To cook cheek meat, it is best to slow-cook it in liquid to soften it.567 A popular method is to coat the meat with olive oil, rub it with salt, cumin, and pepper, wrap it in aluminum foil, and cook it in a slow cooker for 7 to 8 hours.37 After cooking, the meat can be shredded using two forks and used in various dishes.
