The Cut of Beef Mexico Knows You're Sleeping On

In this video, I’m putting my BBQ twist on traditional Mexican beef cheeks, known as Taco de Cachete. This recipe blends authentic barbacoa technique with pit-smoked flavor. I smoke the beef cheeks low and slow on the Weber Smokey Mountain, then finish them by steaming over fire to get that tender, juicy texture true to real barbacoa.
