Beef Cheeks in the Big Green Egg

[tanknz]

how long did it take, and how do you check for doneness? Always see beef cheeks in the store and wonder how to cook them

I smoked at 225 for about 3 hours, then foiled with butter on top for about another 2 or 3 hours.

to check for 'doneness' - I just used a toothpick and when it went thru with zero resistance, it was good to go.

take them off - rest for an hour and enjoy.

Wow, wish I could find cheek meat that nice around here. Heck, I wish I could find cheek meat at all. Great job!

Andy,have you got a Wall-Mart in your area ? i find them in our store right next to the beef tongue. Not to many places around here that carries both.
Good luck.

wish I would have seen your reply earlier, was at the commissary and saw some marked down cryo beef cheeks in the freezer, I think they were $4, maybe I will stop by tomorrow and see if they are still there
