Beef Cheek Dilemma

[16Adams]

A good problem to have. Tacos, quesadillas, burrito, barbacados?? My part of the world fresh avacado is a crap shoot between awful and perfect. However at Rosa's their guacamole has always been excellent. Not much more to get large chips with a pint of guac and a pint of salsa than to gamble on Haas. Semi home made beef cheek burrito with a healthy lime squeeze.

Yup. Looks right to me. Dilemna resolved.

Just leave the nasty green stuff outa your food and sub some shredded cheese. Problem solved.:wink:

How did you cook the Beef Cheeks? Looks good, may give this a try.

Cooked in The Oklahoma Joe Bronco overnight. Lump coal with a split of hickory. Next morning added a beer to aluminum foil pan with smoked cheeks,covered tight and set oven to lowest setting. 175-80

In the beginning:
Cheeks were removed from package, seasoned, and placed gnarly skin side down. Bronco temp gauge was about 250. Zero trimming. Meat fall apart from the skin anyway, and makes a grand heat shield

Chuds BBQ has an excellent 12 minutes YouTube video on beef cheek.
Saw your lineup, WSM should work perfectly as well PBC

Thanks! Will definitely give this a go.

You can load whichever cooker you use up. It doesn't take long for them to shrink into their own space

Amen, and Amen!

I completely agree on the avocado / guac front... even at our local Meximart! I'd almost rather pay for the premade stuff and guarantee it's good vs. cutting into a seemingly good haas only to have it be complete bollocks.

You're really starting to steer (get it? :roll me toward this for Sunday family dinner or something closer to birria with a finish in the IP and a bit more liquid.

It's been a long while since I last had a moment to smoke anything.

I'm just glad it wasn't me that said what I was thinking...
