The BEST Beef Cheek Recipe! | Chuds BBQ

[@azskyking6542]

I'd love to see you use the discards for Barbacoa.

[@ericf1843]

I agree, please make the discards. I end up throwing my scrap pile out when I smoke cheeks. Always feel terrible, such a huge waste.

[@simfro2530]

Yeah I would also love to see it.

[@formerlyknownas07]

Agreed!

[@jonpalmer925]

Could you also grind it up and render into tallow?

[@aloafofbeans5585]

@@jonpalmer925 no the scraps are not just fat its just a bunch of the chewy sinew and some meat and fat. you cant really do that with these scraps but you can with brisket trimmings which are mainly just fat and nothing else

[@jackrodosta7971]

Definitely want to see you cook down all that scrap discard. I love beef cheeks but because of the cost vs scrap discarded I've stops buying them.

[@Keasbeysknight]

yeah cook that shit down! i dont wanna waste so much shit for one wanna be brisket piece! need some top secret recipes!

[@networkn]

yup same.

[@TheSprigga]

Show us the Barbacoa

[@brad_neal]

Agree - let's see how it works.

[@ReturnToTradition]

I must be lucky. All the beef cheeks I buy are pre-trimmed and still at a good cost.

[@scottsmith31]

Whenever I see a new video from chuds, I get overly excited… not for the awesome bbq content, but for the obligatory “there’s a snake in my boot” Easter egg in every video

[@richbennett6577]

So truth be told i was so drunk the first time I watched his video I wasn’t sure I had actually seen him running around about the snake in his boot. I was like no way but yep I back played it and fell in love with the show right then and there

[@LeRoyandLewisBBQ]

Chuddy, u done made me proud today 🥲

[@hambone150]

Yes please! Make the barbacoa because that scrap pile was bigger than the cheek pile. Also awesome video!

[@MLEOTA]

Absolutely would love to see the barbacoa! Tried my hand at it last week and turned out alright but I’d like to see it done

[@Cornholeus]

Would love to see the scraps turned to barbacoa. I bought beef cheeks once, and trimming was such a disaster.

[@rmftrushing6591]

I need to get myself a sous vide. Just don't know where to put it, with the air fryer, instant pot, bread machine, and everything else taking up all the counter and cabinet space. Dude, I respect TF outta you and all the other BBQ KZbinrs I watch on the regular. Thanks to you guys, my ribs, chicken, pulled pork, and occasional brisket are the best I've ever had, and get better every time. Your content is much appreciated, sir.

[@fly1327]

Sous vide circulator is cheap, mine ~$80. That and a plastic tub live on top of a garage cabinet, until needed. And once you cook pork loin @140F, you'll NEVER go back. 140F safe? Yes, if internal there for at least a dozen minutes: ourdailybrine.com/wp-content/uploads/our-daily-brine_salmonella-6.5D-reduction-table.pdf Shit, leave it there for a few hours, doesn't matter, sear it and be surprised.

[@iancoffee13]

I smoked some beef cheeks today and made Barbacoa tacos. 7 hour cook total. The cheeks were so tender and flavorful.

[@anthonplake]

I had the pleasure of going to Leroy and Lewis last week and was absolutely blown away! The beef cheeks were better than I ever could have imagined. It was definitely a highlight of my BBQ experience. I wasn’t even mad that there wasn’t brisket on a weekday after eating the beef cheeks 😂

[@FargoFred]

I would love to see the scraps cooked. I feel like scrap piles, and good ways to use them are amazing and something a lot of people don't know what to do with.

[@teddbrooks216]

Thanks!

[@garanzbrah7437]

I prefer this over pulling it apart. Thanks for the video!

[@rafaellepoutre4019]

Barbacoa from the scraps?? YES PLEASE and its going to be delicious!!!

[@matthewolding4522]

Would definitely love to see you do something with all the scraps

[@threengcircus]

Would love to see you cook the discards!

[@draskuul]

I went ahead and just cooked up a couple of those packs a couple weeks ago, untrimmed, L&R style doing the tallow confit, complete with hand mixer to shred it. I have to say it worked pretty well. I've made barbacoa a number of times on the smoker, but I think that method definitely came out better!

[@nichevo1]

Oh hell, recipe or link please

[@redoorn]

I'm glad you cleared up my beef cheek/butt cheek confusion ;-)

[@fishhead991]

Yes would like to see how you use the scrap trimmings.

[@Thomas-qe7ez]

Nice work - really enjoyed the video (as always)!!

[@mojocuiii]

Bought some beef cheeks on sale and learned about the confit method afterwards. Came here looking for a confit alternative and sous vide is 100% PERFECT. Thanks!

[@josephdgleason]

Yes on the barbacoa video! Great video!

[@jamesmcclammy6060]

Please show us how you cook Barbacoa because I find your channel very informative and I like Barbacoa!

[@seanjones6798]

Can you do this on a Weber Kettle? Not many options for direct heat cookers.

[@aaronkarr9430]

Probably could just use less charcoal to control your temps. Pit Barrel is an awesome direct heat cooker.

[@eastbernardbrahmas]

You should do a video of how you maintain and keep your knives so sharp

[@dmb7473]

So good. Made last night. And the scraps wound up where they belong: in the scrap pile.

[@BringtheSmoke]

I haven't been able to find these in a while! Looks awesome

[@MoesSmokeStackGrill]

Better than brisket!? Dang! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@HerbRasta]

Doing this on Saturday! YYES!!!!

[@Drew-di6nt]

Agree probably the best bite in BBQ.

[@markuswolloner9510]

A meeting with Chud and winning the Bronco - that´s my dream :)

[@djrtime1398]

This looks the perfect cook for my Hasty Bake grill. I could do the first part low and slow to get smoke ring then raise the charcoal bed, remove the heat deflector and direct grill. Then finish off in hot bath. Thanks for the great cook and expert meat trimming.

[@user-ng1sr1vk8s]

I would love to see how you set up and control your fire in your Chudbox. I have a direct heat smoker and would be interested in learning more. Love what you do.

[@pecenak21]

I would say the discards is more interesting than the cheeks themselves.

[@brianwesemann3459]

Let’s see some barbacoa that sounds awesome

[@networkn]

Please do the discard video. I enjoyed this and keen to give it a go.

[@alejandromunoz4274]

yes!!! please do a video showing how to use the scraps for barbacoa

[@jackwagon1798]

Just smoked and confit'd some beef cheeks last weekend. GOOD LORD! My new favorite cut o'meat.

[@thomashood3748]

Yes to barbacoa video some time. Im going to make some beef cheeks!

[@epegr1075]

Can’t wait to see the barbacoa video!

[@75pontiac45]

Always wanted to know how to cook beef cheeks. Looking forward to trying it. Barbados is a must! I can’t wait to see you make that

[@andyrocker7773]

Gonna need the scrap discard video for sure.

[@kenmerrick1235]

Just made this confit with my sous vide worked great. also confit the scraps for barbacoa can't wait to make some tacos.

[@RandoTy]

You mentioned a little bite of kimchi on top...as a home kimchi fermenter I would love to see a video of you making some! I even threw some kimchi in a homemade pork sausage once and it turned out delisssious

[@brianlanphier6243]

Bro!!! Now I gotta do cheeks this weekend again! Uh! Beef cheeks that is! TACOS!!!

[@willdelange8405]

YES, love to c how u cook up the scraps!!!

[@badinfluencebbq4754]

Great video. Thank you so much for all your info.

[@allglasstinting]

I’d like to see a brisket video re-using the rendered tallow from a previous cook. I’ve seen you mention keeping the rendered tallow but never seen you use it.

[@joshkirscher3850]

On a side note, am I the only one who gets excited to see what knife Brad uses during the intro roll-out? #knifenerd

[@chrisquin9]

I would love to see a whole hog cook using cinder blocks and some tin with a burn barrel. Old fashioned pig pickin!

[@jeepoffroad91]

I concur with below. Barbacoa! barbacoa! barbacoa!

[@paulbush8747]

Bradley, new subscriber here. Your videos are awesome. Very informative and funny. Really looking forward to what you'll be preparing next. I've watch damn near all your videos including your road excursions. Keep up the great work.

[@struisvogel2000]

Lookin gooood .. as ever.. barbecoa.. yess please😎👍

[@spline8518]

Love the Channel !! Keep up the smoke

[@title214]

A barbacoa video would be awesome!

[@scottcarter9975]

I just bought 4.5 pounds of beef cheeks at Sam's Club at 3.98/lb. After trimming I had 2 cheeks weighing in at 1.25 pounds. Net cost per pound $14. Yikes! Plan to cook tomorrow but that's too expensive.

[@nskimn8r884]

Ok so I've taken to annoying my family by calling out what I'm putting on the counter in Bradley voice: "This is some ... CEREAL". "This is a... PANCAKE". The good news is the family is all entertained by these videos. Keep em coming :)

[@dave84401]

Great videos Brad. Please do the barbacoa.

[@josed5423]

Yes to the barbacoa 🙌

[@gman4dx266]

When I smoke mine, I bundle them all together with kitchen twine so that it's like a brisket point. I think it's a wonderful brisket substitute

[@ericwinkler694]

Gotta get that Barbacoa vid

[@pglass4]

Excellent.👍 Barbacoa next please.

[@hophead2342]

Cook up that barbacoa.... Would love to see that!

[@prccap]

we definitely need to see what to do with the scraps

[@curtke]

I would love to see a barbacoa video. How long would you confit them for if you didn't sous vide them?

[@ChrisM92790]

How do you clean your wooden cutting board?

[@Atown804]

Yes, please show how you would cook the more fatty pieces. I am always amazed at how much I end up throwing out for the coyotes.

[@MrRilarios]

Dude!!! Sausages is the way!!!!!

[@themasterhammer]

I would live to see the scraps used one way or another.

[@chriscabel8924]

Yes please make Barbacoa tacos I'm sure it would be amazing

[@gallettiguitartones]

Looks delicious, will be making this soon

[@equinoxshadow7190]

How does the fat trimmed off of those beef cheeks taste when crisped up?? Can it be mixed in with some chuck for ground beef?? I will cook and crisp up the trim fat from a rib cap, it tastes great!!!

Do you plan on doing anymore cooking with the pellet grill?

I'd love to see you do something with the scraps. If you ever need any help from your fans in Austin, let me know. I'll bring a keg of smokey homebrew beer too! 😁

[@christaylor4086]

What would your timing be with the slow-n-sear/Weber? Will the souvide make it over tender if left on 175 overnight?

[@maxbrosnahan7768]

Love your videos. What do beef cheeks cost per pound?

[@briancarbajal9]

At my local sams club (Mansfield Texas) 3.64 a pound.

[@penttipirinen6203]

Barbacoa? Yes please! :-)

[@eduardoperez4461]

Would you do the same thing in a weber kettle?

[@snatch3349]

Saw today that my local Walmart is carrying beef cheeks. Was wondering if they are graded like other cuts of beef? Was planning on smoking some this weekend along with some ox tail I saw they were carrying as well. Thanks for the video! Tuesdays kick ass!!!

Make barbacoa!!! Please!!

I really want to try these.

[@osvaldotrevino1991]

Barbacoa would be great 👍

[@JackedUpOnMTDew]

Certified Mexican here. Don’t scrap nothing until it’s all rendered down. Get some good smoke flavor on the meat and finish on low in a crock pot till everything dissolves like butter. Usually takes all day or night. Yea you might have some chewy pieces in there but guess what, collagen and gristly meat are good for ya homies.

[@johnruiz4370]

What are those yellow things that your lighting up with your torch?

[@DaVinciDvo818]

what do you do with those scraps usually ?
