Beef Cheeks

This is a 1 lb pack of 2 cheeks. Beef cheeks are a cut of meat from the cheek muscles of a cow. They have a high intramuscular fat content and a rich beefy flavor. Beef cheeks are a tough cut of meat, but long, gentle cooking breaks down the tough fibers and makes them tender and flavorful. Beef cheeks are a popular choice for rich, hearty dishes like stews, soups and main dishes. They can also be used in traditional and modern Mexican recipes like birria and barbacoa.
