Smoked Beef Cheeks on the Traeger 🔥

Low effort. Long cook. Unreal payoff.

Trimming
Beef cheeks usually only need attention on one side. Remove as much silver skin and thick connective tissue as you can.
Get your knife under it and work it off — doesn’t need to be perfect.

Seasoning
Kept it simple with Blackout from @rumandque
Bold, beef-forward, no fillers.

Cook Setup
Smoked on the @traegergrillsoz Pro 575
Using Traeger Signature Wood Pellets

Total cook time: 7 hours
Total rest/hold: 12 hours

Times & Temps
• 275°F / 135°C – 3 hrs
Uncovered until bark is set and smoke has penetrated
• 275°F / 135°C – ~4 hrs
Until probe tender — zero resistance

Braising liquid:
500ml beef stock + 1/3 cup BBQ sauce
(I used Meat Juice from @rumandque)

Uncovered briefly to let it steam off, then wrapped and held overnight in the oven on the lowest setting.

How do you know they’re done?
Forget numbers.
Your finger should slide in like butter.
Pick it up… and it should fall apart in your hand.
Perfect for tacos, chilli, pies, or sandwiches.

If you’ve never cooked beef cheeks before — this is your sign. 🔥
