- How to Make Smoked Beef Cheek Barbacoa
Traditionally, barbacoa is made from an entire beef head that is buried in an underground pit and wrapped in maguey leaves, but MOST of us don't have fast and easy access to entire animal heads, so smoked beef cheeks are an awesome substitution for barbacoa.
Smoked beef cheeks are similar to mini briskets - they are rippled with collagen that converts to gelatin during the cooking process. Unlike traditional barbacoa which can taste more "steamed" the smoke process gives you beautiful flecks of dark bark and a deeper layer of smoke flavor.

Amazing how an Aussie has a Texas accent so quick. Lived in Australia for 20 yrs and still sound Canadian ..
i was thinking the exact same thing lol I've watched her for awhile now and these last two vids her accent i was like WTF doesn't make since to me.
Good on her to integrate. It helps to cater to your audience.
There's a Mexican meat market across the road from my work place. I will definitely be making this!!!
Making these today....such a great video and your trimming skills are beyond professional.
I love your style Ms. Pryles.... Hell of a job on this Barbacoa. Greetings from Texas!!
Turned out amazing!! Wish I could up load a picture! 👍🏽
Jess.. Wow! The absolute best meat I ever smoked. I combined it with smoked beef tongue...! Thank you mate!
Nice video. You get this format. Just great info, good ideas, personality and nothing
“cutesy.”
Going to give this a try. Never had beef cheek. But this looks amazing.
I will have to try this method. I grew up making Barbacoa with Maguey Pencas!
First video of yours I've seen. I order some of your seasonings looking forward to trying them out on my pit in San Marcos Texas lol.
Can’t compare to a brisket WAY MORE FLAVOR than a brisket super rich !
Looks great
Amazing.
Just got some at kroger yesterday. I'm going to try this!
I’ve been thinking about making barbacoa. You can get it everywhere here at the southern tip of Texas. I’m sure I’ll have no trouble finding it at the many meat markets close to home. Down here they also make tongue along with it. You can order tongue only, cheek, or mixed half and half. This is a cook I have to do!
Making this tomorrow.
I love my Cabeza tacos (basically mostly beef cheek meat) and I happen to have a pack of beef cheeks in my fridge I was planning on cooking with an old Mexican recipe but this looks worthy of a try. I am always worried about getting that over boiled meat flavor so if I'm smoking them I think that would do the trick thank you so much
Looks really good. Even the meat ☺
Wow!
I’m Mexican and I usually add hoja de laurel (bay leave) and clavo (cloves) too add great flavor.
Mexicans don't trim meat, am I right or am I right?
Awesome Subscribed :)
beef cheeks are awsome!
"Crockpot inside the smoker" 😆
Well done girl! "Barbacoa de Cachete" is, like "Barbacoa de Lengua (tongue)" a Mexican delicacy... And I have never thought about smoking it: Slow Cooker, Pressure Cooker, Sous Vide yeah, but never smoked... Well done girl! 👍
In Mexico people appreciate fat in cooking quite more than in America, as such tongue and neck which are leaner usually are more difficult to appreciate, so cooking tongue or neck + cheeks with enough fat at the same time usually does the trick even better.
I am going to try what you showed here next week, this unnecessary lock-down is driving everyone insane... that means my freezer is full of things I cooked since weeks ago and I need to let them flow in the "nutritional consuming corporation" before cooking more.
Like always thanks for sharing this, quite a surprise to be honest... I can't tell you better praises, coming from someone like me. Well done girl! ☺️
Freaking looks delicious 😋 Is there any chance you can do a few organ meat videos? I would really like to start eating nose to tail but I would love some tips and delicious techniques to make it tasty.
You sold me kiddo. Picking me up some of these doggies tomorrow!
She is the BOMB!
I think I"m going to start calling my wife "beef cheeks". I'll probably get punched in the nose, but that's a chance I'm willing to take.
lol
I’m going to give it a shot today and hopefully keep at least one testicle.😜
How did it go?
🤣🥰
Ha why does she look tasty or beefy? I'm just curious
I like to smoke my serrano and tomatillo while I'm at it too for the salsa
This is a new twist on this dsh
How timely. Dennis
I "unliked" this video several times just so I could "like" it several more times.
The best piece of meat 🍖 I promise
What kind of gloves are those?
Awesome recipe! I might tweak it a little, maybe leave it smoking got 4-5 hours and then rap on foil for 3 hours, just to get extra smoke flavor
0:30 and I hope it stays underrated cause I eat that shit all the time lol don't want it to turn to fajitas since they were thrown away and now 10 per pound
If I use half the amount of meat (2.5lbs instead of 5), do we cut the cooking time in half?
Thank you so much! We’re going to make this Friday and can’t wait!
HOLY HELL !
Cheeks are delicious. But, the beef lips are something else . Everytime I'm in Mexico I make it a point to get some for my breakfast.
Sams sales them! So does Walmart. But better pricing at sams.
Didn’t you make a video of you doing barbacoa in a pit, with a cow head or am I making that up?
Beef Cheeks? I didn't know Sandy has another brother.
Activated charcoal in a seasoning? Is it approved by the FDA? Doesn't sound safe.
It's safe alright. The safest actually as proven in several studies.
The video was great but I was distracted the whole time. Are you putting on an American accent?
I live in the states and married to an American and I haven’t lost my Aussie accent. I also spent four years in Germany speaking German and I didn’t lose it.
Great video. But authentic barbacoa isn't trimmed. The fat is what makes the flavor. Still great job though.
Wow she's really putting on that yank accent here veres now 😂😂😂
How on earth is this Barbacoa
Lady u need to hang out with Mexican we just cook the whole damn thing
@@JessPryles I do apologize ma'am I didn't think u would respond but I did love ur video as well thanks ma'am
Thats right, Mexicans don't trim meat. My Great grandmother had always taught that the real flavor already in the meat all you need is to bring out, if you remove anything even the fat your removing natural flavor that can't compare to any seasoning.
I've been Mexican my whole entire 66 years and believe me the beef broth is not part of traditional barbacoa, don't know where this white chick got that from.
You should never try anything new, it's scary.
Mexicans DON'T trim meat, we eat all the fatty, juicy goodness for the BEST Natural flavor. If your taco isn't drippy it isn't an authentic Mexican taco.
