Smoked Beef Cheeks

Rich, smoky, and melt-in-your-mouth tender, these Smoked Beef Cheeks are slow-cooked to perfection and finished with a flavorful barbecue glaze. This backyard barbecue favorite delivers incredible texture and deep beefy flavor that’s worth every minute of cooking time.

📝 Ingredients
For the Beef Cheeks
4–5 beef cheeks (about 4–5 lbs total)
2 tbsp yellow mustard or olive oil (binder)
2 tbsp kosher salt
1 tbsp coarse black pepper
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp chili powder
For the Braising Liquid
2 cups beef broth
1 cup barbecue sauce
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
For Finishing
Additional barbecue sauce for glazing
Fresh chopped parsley (optional)
🍽️ Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Beef Cheeks

Trim any excess silver skin from the beef cheeks. Coat lightly with mustard or olive oil, then season generously with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder.

2️⃣ Smoke Low and Slow

Preheat your smoker to 250°F (120°C). Place the beef cheeks directly on the grates and smoke for 3–4 hours, or until a deep mahogany bark develops.

3️⃣ Braise Until Tender

In a disposable aluminum pan, combine beef broth, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Transfer the smoked beef cheeks to the pan and cover tightly with foil.

4️⃣ Continue Cooking

Return the pan to the smoker and cook for another 3–4 hours, or until the beef cheeks are probe-tender and reach an internal temperature of approximately 205°F (96°C).

5️⃣ Glaze and Rest

Carefully remove the beef cheeks from the braising liquid. Brush with additional barbecue sauce and place back on the smoker uncovered for 15–20 minutes to set the glaze.

6️⃣ Serve

Let the beef cheeks rest for 15 minutes before serving. Slice or shred and serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, coleslaw, or on toasted sandwich rolls.

For the Truffle Filling

Pinch of sea salt
For the Coating
8 oz white chocolate chips
1 tbsp coconut oil

5️⃣ Prepare the Coating

Melt the remaining 8 ounces of white chocolate chips with the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth.

6️⃣ Coat the Truffles

Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess coating to drip off. Return to the parchment-lined tray.

7️⃣ Garnish and Set

Sprinkle each truffle with a little fresh orange zest before the coating hardens. Let the truffles set completely at room temperature or refrigerate until firm.
