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!

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!

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..

The meat is packed with no trimming whatsoever. You only get 30-40% of actual beef after cleaning it the rest is unusable fat and membrane. A few years ago i could find clean cheek beef in these packs where 80-90% was actual meat, no more i suppose. i recommend you start looking to other vendors for quality beef cheek.

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.

The first 2 beef cheeks I pulled from the package looked like their photo. Clean. No skin. No fat. Trimmed great! Beautiful color. From that point on, the remaining 6.5 pounds were awful. Half the package contained fat, gristle and skin. Useless! I ended up with maybe 3 pounds of edible meat. What a lying scam!!!!!!

I have been really impressed with the quality of beef cheek meat at Sam's. There is very little waste or fat to trim compared to other sources. After some minor trimming, I marinated the cheek meat in taco beef seasoning overnight in a large ziplock bag. Then I put it in my smoker for 5-5 1/2 hrs at 225 degrees, the last two hours covered, until i got an internal temp of 205 degrees. Only used smoke the first hour, hour and a half. It came out beautifully, and fall apart tender! Will definitely buy it again! great price, too!

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.

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.

Beef cheeks are delicious, especially pressure cooked. All the people talking about all the fat on the cheeks are WRONG! IT IS NOT FAT! Beef cheeks have a ton of collagen and connective tissue which many people will confuse for fat but is collagen. Look it up yourself if you don't believe it! Beef cheeks are actually lean meat.
