Beef Cheeck Birria Tacos

[BrianGSDTexoma]

Boy those beef cheeks require a lot of trimming. Lots of fat and silver skin. I should of took both out of freezer as not much after got done. Now I know what people mean when they say like butter. Smoked for 2.5 hours than in home made red sauce for 3 hours.



Lady I got Gretchen from sent me massage last weekend that it was Gretchen birthday and sent this picture of her from before I got her. Boy how she's changed! All her grey people think she is a wolf.

Those are so good . Nice work on all of it . My Son made them a couple weeks ago . Just about ruins you for tacos any other way .

Gretchen's a looker for sure .

Those look just right, they are a lot of work but worth it!

I trim out beef cheeks too, but it's a mixed preference. Some cook them right out of the package and do all the cleaning after they tender up.

Brian those tacos are the bomb. I agree trimming cheeks is quite a chore.

Those look great, never had cheeks unless it might be in a mixed food maybe ( hot dogs etc )
The last picture of the taco's really make you want to have one

Man that looks great!

If you braise the hell out of meat that has silver skin it will melt away in to super flavorful juices.
Now if it obviously has super thick silver skin that needs to go then that's fine to move but you would be surprised at how much silver skin will just melt away.
I know because I braise venison shanks and I just remove the thickest outer silver skin and leave the rest and WOW maybe my favorite part of the deer!!! Sounds crazy aye.
