Beef Cheek Meat
$21.99
Beef Cheek Meat is a slow-cooking favorite with deep beef flavor and plenty of connective tissue that turns silky during a gentle braise. Each package contains two cheeks, approximately 1.5 lbs total. The reward for a little patience is tender meat for mashed potatoes, stews, tacos, or a bowl of creamy polenta.
How to cook: Thaw in the refrigerator and trim any tough surface membrane. Brown the cheeks, add onion, garlic, herbs, and broth, then cover and braise at 300°F for about 3–4 hours. Cook until a fork slides in easily; cheeks often become tender around 195–205°F, but texture is the best guide. Add liquid if needed.
Kitchen tip: Let the meat rest in its braising liquid, then shred or slice. Chill leftovers promptly and reheat gently with the sauce. Find more braising cuts in Slow Cookin'.

🥩How Should My Meat Arrive
We suggest you buy at least 5 pounds of meat. The more meat, the better the cold is held in. We ship in insulated liners with dry ice. Your meat should arrive in 2 days of leaving the ranch. We always pack with extra ice just in case there is a delay. Contact from the dry ice may make micro-holes in the packaging. This is normal and the meat is still good to put in your freezer to eat.
