So a couple weeks back I posted about bark issues on beef cheeks.
Well I cracked it and here's the results.
Seems my last cook I had smoked and confit them too long. Basically I had deep fried them when I confit them by letting the temp go too high. This time I monitored the temps in the tallow and they ended up being ready after 6 hrs. 3hrs smoked and 3hrs confit.

These look amazing!!
What temperature did you maintain on the confit?
Spread those cheeks!
Beautiful! I just got some prime beef cheeks from Costco business center. Why did you confit them instead of just taking them to completion in the smoker?
Ooh la la.
Meat looks amazing.
Suggestion: swap out your glass cutting board for a wood one (or plastic) to save the edge of your knife
I absolutely love beef cheeks, not to many places have them, but are a treat when I see them on a menu.
Holy COW😍
Is that a glass cutting board?
Not to be that guy but a glass cutting board?????

What was your run, looks truly amazing
Damn those look awesome…. and now I need to go change my pants. Excuse me gents.
Started seeing loads vids of people cooking these. I think I am going to try an get some moose cheeks when I go hunting later this fall. Seems like a cut people like myself are sleeping on.
Is that a glass cutting board?
Please get a new cutting board
Damn that bark looks perfect now, bet it had that melt in ur mouth vibe too. Crazy how beef cheeks go from tough to pure magic when smoked right.
Get in my mouth!
Beef Cheeks was my nickname in high school
That looks amazing
I love glass in my cheeks
Dude you smashed it. 10/10 couldn’t look better !!!
Hoping you can laugh as I’m laughing at all the comments about the glass cutting board because only Reddit would that be 90% of the comments 😂keep up sharing your results!
Beef cheeks look great! Side note: What’s with cutting them with a fuccin katana?
Yo. Lemme get some of them cheeks
All right:squeeze it for dry tough tasteless remains of good meat.

Eat, pray, glass.
Beef Cheeks
Good or bad band name?
The cutting board is killing me, but the meat looks phenomenal
Bro you’re buggin with the glass cutting board
Omg! Why did you do this to me?! Now my resting Brisket looks like ground beef 🤣 Where do you get beef cheeks? Butcher shop? How’s the price?
Wonderful, now please strap some dynamite to that cutting board and set it off away from everyone so you can restart with a proper wood one.
First time I’ll ever say this in a positive way, that meat is cheeks
I wasn’t actually crying as I watched this video but my left eye leaked a few very tiny drops.
I’ve not had beef cheeks since my Pops cooked them in the mid 1970’s. Plans are to visit him this summer and I’d love to cook those for him. I’ve not heard of confit but love to prepare my meats for 6+ hours. Share your entire cooking process if you would.
