This is locally-raised beef cheek, sourced directly from the owner's personal cowherd.
Beef cheek is a flavorful and tender cut of meat that comes from the facial muscle of a cow. Despite being a lesser-known cut, the beef cheek is highly prized by chefs for its rich, meaty flavor and unique texture. It's often used in slow-cooked dishes like stews, braises, and chili, as the low and slow cooking process helps to tenderize the meat and bring out its rich flavor. Beef cheek can also be seared or grilled quickly at high temperatures for a crispy exterior and juicy interior. Because it's a less commonly used cut, beef cheek is often more affordable than other premium cuts of beef, making it a great option for budget-conscious foodies.
Our beef cheek is vacuum-sealed and frozen immediately after processing to lock in its natural goodness until you're ready to use it. Priced per pound.
