Cheek meat, often referred to as beef cheek, comes from the muscles of the cow's face, particularly the jaw and cheek areas. This cut is known for its intense flavor and tender texture, which develops after long, slow cooking due to its high content of connective tissue and collagen.
When prepared properly, beef cheek meat becomes exceptionally rich and tender, with a deep, beefy taste that’s perfect for braising or slow-cooking. The meat absorbs flavors well, making it a favorite for tacos, stews, or dishes like barbacoa or osso buco. Package weight is around 1lb.
