I made L&L Confit Beef Cheeks for my cake day

Leroy & Lewis’ beef cheeks live rent free in my head, so during a recent trip to the Costco business center I finally pulled the trigger on a pack to try making myself on my Weber kettle.

I followed their video guide here in the comments.

The pack included one large piece which I sliced like a brisket after cooking, and several smaller pieces I shredded for beef barbacoa. They did not require much trimming.

The recipe required a lot of beef tallow, but luckily I had a freezer bag full of fat from a recent brisket cook I was able to render while the meat smoked.

Seasoning was a simple S&P. Final result was incredible. The 4 hours of confit time in the oven basically makes this recipe foolproof.
