A beef cheek relleno bake on the drum

cowgirl · 11-13-2012, 08:01 PM

Took a shortcut, instead of dipping the stuffed chilies and frying them individually, I layered everything lasagna style.

Blistered, steamed, peeled and seeded some anahiems (my favorite).

layered them in the cast iron pot, topped with beef cheek meat that I cooked with onions, green, red and yellow peppers.

topped with asadero cheese and repeated the layers two more times.

made my batter using 8 whipped egg whites, 8 yolks and 8 TBs of flour,
poured the batter over the top...sprinkled with dry rub.

Into the Big Poppa Smoker UDS at 325F.

Turned out pretty good! Really saved a lot of time making them this way too.

Thanks for looking

I knew as soon as I saw beef cheeks that it was Jeanie... That looks great! So, if you were to do that one again, would you change or add anything? Reason I ask is I've got about 8lbs of beef cheeks in the freezer....

Very nice post and I love your batter!

I am really glad you called that rig a drum smoker because it's the direct opposite of a UDS.

That cook looks Delicious!

Thanks Marty! I do love beef cheeks.

The batter doesn't have salt so the sauce is a must. (for my taste buds anyway) I think you could add salt to the batter but I haven't tried it.
Sounds like you have a good suppy of cheeks! Can't wait to see what you make. Thanks again..
