How To Smoke Beef Cheeks - Barbacoa Tacos

[@LindenRanch]

Makes my mouth water. All day cooking with company but planning ahead, --- no instant readiness.

[@fretless05]

Wow! Those are CLEAN! I was amazed at how those came out of the package. I always buy twice what I think I need when I buy cheeks since I know I have to trim so much to get useable portions. Whoooooweee, Joe! Those look like some damned good tacos. Just FYI, I smoked some beef cheeks and used them for a twist on an Irish beef cheeks and celery root mash that was amazing. It's a rich and super flavorful cut of meat.

We love it when u incorporate Spanish cuisine in ur vids! Please do more Spanish infused dishes. Doesnt necessarily have to be meat, could be side dishes like enchiladas or Spanish MacnCheese, or some other smoked side dish. Spanish Smoked Baked spaghetti sounds good! If there is such a thing. I guess anything could be smoked. No rules when it comes to food I suppose! Thx Big Joe. God Bless!

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

Thanks so much David. I'll do that my friend 👍

Those smoke beef cheeks are great, did the smoke for Labor day. I had to order my beef checks too, couldn't find them locally at a butcher stores. The cheeks have a wonderful favor that is not found in other cuts. Thanks for the great recipe for the hot sauce, been looking for this for a while.

[@mikebowerstv]

Those tacos looked amazing, I’m gonna have to try that sauce!

[@MontyPearson-ob3nr]

My 1st time watching your channel. I bought some beef cheeks for the 1st time and your recipe looks the best!! Are the Anchos hot or the Serrano's? We like it with a little spice but not fire breathing hot!!..lol. Also when you placed the cheeks on the onions did you cover with foil? And do you rest them at all in foil after smoking? (Like you would a brisket?) I have smoked all kinds of things except beef cheeks. Thanks for the time you took to make the video. I'm in Lubbock TX btw so I can't be messing these up on 1st go round or my friends will never let me hear the end of the BS!! haha. Thanks Joe

[@JariVasarainen]

I met you in San Jose two years ago if I'm not mistaken. I asked you piece of advice on bbq. I recognize you. I used the info on got better results. Thank you.

[@bmurfskurs9412]

i cant decide who is a bigger badass… smokin joes bbq or malcom reed

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

I appreciate the compliment 🤘🔥

[@dansong.tolman2793]

Nice video Joe. Since you have the smoker going, throw in some poblanos and make your own anchos. So much better. Or throw in some jalapeños and get Chipotle. Real smoke! Keep up the good work

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

I like how you think. Thanks so much for watching Danson.👍

[@gonzaler99]

Hello from Marfa...Those were some clean cheeks. Loved how you spread your cheeks on the grill. I could go on and on..lol...good job. Send me some :)

[@t-reyh5937]

Man we love some beef cheeks. But at the price for those, guess I'll stick with having to trim half the weight away lol. Looks great, gonna try smoking some, never have, always the all day crock pot method here.

[@BBQPyroFriends]

Cheeks are awesome, we confit ours in tallow for Barbacoa🤤

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

I bet those come out fantastic too. 👍

[@FrankRodriguez-v1q]

To about what temp are you letting the cheek get to ? Trying to do this overnight on my yoder.

[@coplock6689]

Looks good, I'd like to try and smoke them like that. I've never seen the cheeks in packs like that. what I get at the store is a tiny piece of beef cheek and a couple of pounds of fat.

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

No kidding, I was really happy with how well these cheeks are trimmed up. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@ernievaldez6275]

What was the internal temp when done ?

[@davidj.perfater6024]

Alright my dude, so I smoked some beef cheeks past weekend for the first time and they came out super tender like yours, however the oven dish part of the cook I followed caused me to dislike them personally. My friends loved it but family and I agreed it was way to greasy and salty. Funny that I did a 9:1 pepper and salt and that was it for salt. So assuming it's naturally a salty meat. But the point, is after watching your version I will once try again. I'd like to try the unsalted beef broth. I used wagyu tallow and butter. Wayyy too greasy. But yours looked great, good job!

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

Thanks David. It takes a little bit of Seasoning and your salt and pepper mix it good. Try adding a little bit of garlic too. Just when you think they're ready, give them another hour and they'll get nice and tender. 👍

[@davidj.perfater6024]

@@SmokinJoesPitBBQ ok I'll give it another go. I smoked em to 165° and then the oven at 200° for another 16 hours. Salt and grease is simply what killed for me. Other than the texture was great.

[@805BBQJUNKIE]

TACOS TACOS TACOS 🌮

[@txfieros]

I can never find packaged beef checks like that. I always have to pay for about 60 percent sinew and waste trimmed off to get to the cheek. I may need to ask different meat markets and see if they have any they are more trimmed up.

[@grilldschigit]

[@Stlmgnolia]

Joe why does everyone who has a Yoder 640ys seem to cook on the top shelf only?

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

Hello Tim, the heat is less intense on the top shelf. Most smokers only have a bottom shelf so you don't have an option. I cook thanks like chicken, turkey and ribs in the bottom shelf that can take the higher temps. 👍

[@BeeRadicaI]

I got cheeks from Sams Club and I can confirm so much fat to trim! These look so good out the packaging.

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

I really wish they would trim them down. The price on beef cheeks is really high right now so you're paying for fat that's going into the trash. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@BeeRadicaI]

@@SmokinJoesPitBBQ yup it’s about half of fat you’re paying for.

[@bertquinn9717]

I was in a local Amish grocery/butcher store and they had what looked like a whole bottom round roast that loosely looked like a brisket. I was just curious if this or a top round roast could be used similarly as you would a brisket? Maybe you could experiment?

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

Absolutely you can. The only problem with roast is that they're very lean so the meat could come out too dry. 👍

[@frz5462]

Brother! All this needed was a legit corn tortilla! Not that pale manufactured corn stuff lol. Great job!

[@stevemyers1611]

Joe, how hot is that salsa

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

Pretty hot

Do you have a recipe that I can’t download?

That corn tortilla no mas no! Dry and cold. The cilantro though! I literally hate cilantro. It's so disgusting. Pero la barbacoa! Hijole! 😍😋 I'll bet that salsa is damn good too, tocayo!

[@Bob-ou7uq]

I tried beef cheeks and cooked it just like you did and even on the YS640 I tossed them they were too fatty Big difference was bought them from WM so next time porter road!! Thanks

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

I've purchased the ones from WM and you really have to trim them down to get to the cheek. It's mainly fat though. Thanks for watching Bob. 👍🏼
