We love these beef cheeks. I cook them sous vide at 180F for 13 hours. I use the juice from the sous vide bag to make a pan sauce. it is delishes.

I pay for 4 pounds of meet but I took out one pound and half of fat Not a good deal at all

Best cheek meat around. It actually has meat in it, not like the other stores that the package contains more fat than meat . It's very fresh and tastes great!

Bought a 6.75lb package of beef cheeks, after trimming all the fat and grissle from this glob of meat was only left with 2.25lbs of usable cheek meat. Way over priced for what you get!

I have gotten these before and the quality of the meat was fine and tasted/smelled great, but this time I opened the package and they had a weird smell. Not a rancid smell, but like a definite cow smell. I tried to cook it out of the meat, but it didn’t help. That weird smell was still there. I read it might be due to the cryovac? Anyway, kind of a waste this time around but I will try again.

Today I purchased 7 packs of beef cheek meat to make barbacoa. Each pack weighs approximately 7 lbs but I had to remove a lot of fat from the meat and I am losing about 3 lbs per pack. Why is the Sam’s accepting this from their supplier? This is bad quality.

I was very excited to find beef cheek meat at such a reasonable price locally. Unfortunately, it is pretty much fat. No trimming at all. So you think you're getting a bunch of cheek meat and then you realize that a good 60 to 70% of it is fat. Avoid.

This is my second time trying this product. There won't be a third. I weighed it out this time; 7.25lbs total product, 4.05lbs waste. That works out to almost $9/lb for usable meat. I might as well buy chuck and save some money and not spend the better part of an hour trying to trim out the unusable bits that ended up as a pot of broth.

If you are unfamiliar with cheeks, whether beef or pork, you may not like this but it looks like there is lots of waste. In fact, you cook the "connective tissue" as well as the meat, trimming off the fat only. I had very little waste because I have eaten cheeks my whole life and know what to cook and what to pitch. The meat is very rich and full of flavor. I put it in a dutch oven, browned it thoroughly, added broth (I had chicken), 2c dry red wine, onions, potatoes, carrots, thyme, bay leaves and put it in the oven for 6-8 hours on 275F. They were so tender, I cut them with a spoon. Immediately after cooking, I emailed all my family to check their local Sam's Club for them. Next time I will buy a case.

I should have listened to reviews, but though, ehhh it’s just people complaining. This package was over 50% fat! From the outside it looked fine, but once I opened it and started trimming, I was extremely disappointed. I am usually really happy with the meat from Sam’s Club, but this one will unfortunately start getting purchased somewhere else..
