Product Details
Our Beef Cheek Meat is a highly prized, intensely flavorful cut from the facial muscles of the animal — one of the most worked muscles on the whole steer, which means it is loaded with collagen and connective tissue that melts into extraordinary tenderness during a long, slow braise. Chefs have long considered beef cheeks a hidden treasure, and once you cook them, you will understand exactly why. From 100% grass fed and finished cattle, the flavor is extraordinary.
Our cattle are 100% grass fed and finished on chemical free native pastures with no antibiotics, no added hormones, and no vaccines. Heavily worked muscles from active, pastured cattle develop deep flavor and dense connective tissue that rewards long cooking with results that fall-apart tender cuts from less-worked muscles simply cannot achieve.
Cooking Tip: Trim any excess fat, season with salt and pepper, and sear in a hot Dutch oven until deeply browned on all sides. Braise low and slow in red wine, beef broth, garlic, onions, and fresh thyme at 300 degrees F for 3 to 4 hours until the meat yields completely to a fork and the braising liquid has reduced to a rich, glossy sauce. Perfect for braised beef cheeks over creamy polenta or mashed potatoes, beef cheek tacos with salsa verde and pickled onions, shredded over pasta with ricotta, or as a stunning dinner party centerpiece.
Beef cheeks from 100% grass fed cattle are one of the most rewarding cuts a cook can discover. Rich, gelatinous, deeply flavorful — this is whole animal cooking at its very best.
We ship your beef cheek meat frozen with dry ice in eco friendly insulated packaging straight to your door, so you always have a clean, trusted protein ready for your next slow cook adventure.
