Beef Cheek

Jake’s Beef Cheek – slow-cooking beef that’s rich in flavor and value.

Beef cheek is a lean, muscle-heavy cut from the face of the cow. While it’s tough when raw, it becomes tender and flavorful when cooked low and slow. It’s a great choice for braising, pressure cooking, or slow roasting—perfect for soups, stews, tacos, or shredded beef meals.

Why choose Jake’s Grass-fed Beef?

Our Hereford cattle are raised entirely on pasture, from birth to harvest. They eat only grasses, never grain, and are never confined. This results in beef that’s naturally lean and higher in nutrients. Our cows also help support the health of our farm by rotating through pastures alongside pigs, chickens, and turkeys. It’s a system that helps us rebuild the land while producing quality meat.

Cooking Tips:

Slow Cooker or Dutch Oven:
Cook beef cheek for 3–4 hours at a low temperature in broth or sauce until tender enough to shred.

Pressure Cooker:
Set on high pressure for about 60–75 minutes with liquid, then let rest before pulling apart.

Trim Fat as Needed:
Beef cheek may have connective tissue or fat to trim before or after cooking, depending on your preference.

Meal Ideas:

• Taco Filling: Shred the cooked meat and serve in tortillas with toppings like onions, cilantro, and salsa.

• Beef Stew: Use in place of stew meat for a richer broth and softer texture.

• Rice Bowls: Serve over rice with vegetables and a soy-based sauce for a simple dinner.

• Pasta Sauce: Add shredded beef cheek to tomato sauce for a hearty topping over noodles.

Jake’s Beef Cheek is a versatile hidden gem, that works well for family meals or batch cooking.
