Beef cheek

[natej]

Strolling through the meat section (as you do) they had some lovely looking beef cheeks on display with the offal.. havent done these in a while and thought why not!

Smoked at 220 - 240 unwrapped the whole way with just a simple SPOG paprika and kashiri chilli rub

Smoked to 203 and sliced for some beautiful beef jelly!

If you havent tried these befors, it is a MUST.. our local butcher keeps them in stock at any given time but even if you had to order them or seek them out, its well worth the effort

When I worked for a Walmart supplier, one of our product lines was beef offals.  We once got several boxes of samples, and got to take home the extras.  I took a beef tongue and a couple cheeks.

I marinated the tongue (don't really remember in what) and put it in the crock pot.  Did a carne asada-ish thing with the cheeks on the grill.

I diced the meat, bought some condiments and tortillas and took it to all to work so we could have tongue 'n' cheek tacos for lunch.  They were surprisingly tasty.
