Beef cheek meat is a small, dense cut best suited to long, slow cooking. It starts out tough but turns rich and tender with time, developing deep flavor along the way.

Slow-cook it for tacos, braise it in a rich sauce, use it in a hearty stew, or shred it for enchiladas. Cook low and slow until it pulls apart easily.
