Insane amount of trim and fat. Easily 40-50%. I will not be purchasing again.I will buy chuck instead.

We followed a video we found on YouTube to make amazing barbacoa tacos. Yes you need to trim a little fat, but it is still a great value with how much meat you get

Loved this item. My family loves barbacoa and we’re very pleased with the quality. For those who says it’s too greasy, they don’t know it’s also collagen and it’s supposed to be that way.

Bought two packs and regret it. Cooked up the first pack and it's more than half (75%) fat and gristle. Very little actual, useable meat. This is going to the dog's lunch.

The beef cheek tacos came out perfect. For anyone complaining about fat, you have to know how to trim them prior to cooking and they take a long time to cook. Check out a few youtube videos on how to trim and prepare them. The wait is worth it!

I really don't understand the praise for these. The flavor is on point, but the pre-cooked product is a mangled pile of flesh that requires a lot of trimming. You will lose literally half the package from a proper trim, so don't be fooled by that attractive $4.78/lb price. I think I'll stick with buying cheeks online from a farm in MN. They charge $6/lb, but the cheeks are fully trimmed.

On the Carnivore way of eating. This is one of my favorite cuts of meat. It has plenty of delicious fat and tendons to complement my diet. I rub it with salt and pepper then cook it 8 hours in the slow cooker with no liquid. When it is done it is absolutely perfection. It gives me plenty of beef tallow to use for other dishes and a good bit of broth. And the meat is the most tender juicy meat I've ever had. Sometimes I sear it before slow cooking and sometimes I don't. I love to let it cool after cooking and then slice it and fry it up and fry some eggs to eat beside it. It's wonderful

Beef cheek is an unusual cut of meat l, I think it's a bit expensive after I trimmed off lots of fats, I like to make stews with it, it has a different texture and taste that I like/ compare to regular beef stew meats.(I'm an older Asian generation, we don't waste anything, my children and grandchildren wont even try ckeek stew ) , It also good to make "phở "' broth, it's very rich tasting broth ater a few hours of simmering, a bit cheaper than oxtail's. may I suggest to sam's to sales beef bones for making beef broth, I buy the beef's kneecaps ** leg bones with all the tendons still attatched at Asian super markets.

I had never made, or even had, beef cheek, so was a bit freaked out. Getting it trimmed, I was still skeptical. After marinading overnight and cooking in the crockpot(high 8 hours-we had 7#!) with red wine, beef stock, carrots, onions, and spices, tjis was the most tender mear i have ever eaten. Making a beef cheek ragu out of the left overs. Will definitely buy again for some Barbacoa!

I’m cooking a piece today so I’m really not sure what to expect.. being a senior I look for I inexpensive cuts of meat. While Hamburg is an excellent choice freezing bulk is too much for **. I’ve googled cheek and being a decent of Guatemala I’m looking forward to trying and continuing purchasing..I’ve even told a cousin ** Dacula about my purchase!
