I love beef cheek meat and have made these tacos in the past.... beef cheek tacos
Mgwerks canned cheek meat was a real treat! So tasty...
I set up my fancy cooker..
a section of pipe, expanded metal top, rebar legs and a burner out of an old hot water heater...
cooked a few sliced onions in oil until tender, then added the canned beef cheek meat....
tossed in a few tortillas to warm....
This was one of those plateless meals that I love. Grab a tortilla, fill it with meat and add a splash of sauce or a squeeze of fresh lime juice...
Goes so well with a cold beer too. :)
The tacos were sooooo tasty. I love beef cheek meat and Mgwerk's canned meat was excellent!
If you see this Mark, thank you again!

Jeanie, Those look great. That snow free patio and sunshine look almost as good as the food. Looking at my window watching it snow like crazy right now. Now that hunting season is over, I'm ready for spring.
Nick thanks!
I wish the patio were still snow free. lol I have a pot of venison chili simmering today. :)
Hope you don't get buried in snow. Looks like this storm reaches pretty far.
I'm sure with ya about spring.. can't wait!
Hope you keep warm Nick. :)
Looks delicious,love the taco shells..nice work..
You are such a creative cook. Is the weather affecting you?
Thank you so much Marc! I love outdoor plateless meals. lol
Larry thank you! The wind and snow have been blowing around today but it doesn't look like it's going to be deep here at all.
Hope you are keeping warm!
Hi Cowgirl! You got any leads for me on that wok?
Hi Tristan! Good to see ya. :)
I got this wok at the Academy Outdoor store in Oklahoma City.
It was a Christmas present to myself. lol
A discada would work fine. Mine has a leak and I haven't gotten around to fixing it!
The wok is pretty handy though.
Let me know if you get one!
Thanks Tristan...
Tristan, I just checked the Academy Outdoor online store.. they carry them.
I just did a search on their site for "wok".
I didn't buy the whole kit, just the wok. I found a metal ring here on the farm to set the wok on while using. It keeps the wok level.
Hope that helps! :)
Cowgirl,
is this an idea for a super bowl party or do you or will you have one for us by Saturday.
Keep up your GREAT work. I'm gaining weight just reading your posts.
Have a GREAT week from Northern Wisconsin
Thank you Paul!
I've had a request to make the same thing I did last year for the super bowl.
The bacon wrapped corn, smoked crablegs, shrimp, crawdads and sausage that are listed at the top right of this page under "favorites".
Company really liked those last year. :)
Hope you have a great week... keep safe and warm!
Jeanie
Lookin' good from over here..:)It was about 65* here today, another brush pile went "down in flames" :) Stay warm & keep the chili hot, cuz I'm headin' that way, should be there just in time for Super Bowl snacks :)
Hey Rick! Sounds like the weather is great in Cali. today!
Did you do any cookin' on your brush pile? :) The chili was great... if you make it out this way bring your snow shovel and warm clothes! lol
Thanks Rick!
Jeanie
I hope this is not spring yet...We need a bit more rain. Naw! the burn thing was a last minute decision and I did not have any gourmet food in the house. lol The pooch and I enjoyed a cold ham sammie and I had a "silver bullet" or 4... :) I have "woolies", but what is a snow shovel? LOL Maybe I'll miss the super bowl snacks.:) Have a good one.....
Hope you are staying warm! We are bundling up for snow here (which no one knows how to handle in SE TX). That food looks awesome as usual.
Rick, a cold ham sammie and a silver bullet by the burn pile sounds just as good. :)
lol You're missing out on some cold weather out here.
Hope you have a great weekend!!
Thanks TJ! Hope you are staying warm too. Watch out for that snow! :)
Hey cowgirl I hope you fared the storm well with no damage. It was kind of a bust here about a foot. I'm going to attempt to replicate your fatty piston tonight as I'm doing 2 for the Superbowl. You are a mad scientist I love it! Also where did find that wok you show on this thread? I defenitely need to add that to my equipment arsenal.

Hi Mikey! The storm was mild here but the temperatures were killer. :) Glad to hear you made it through in good shape!
Good luck with the piston, they are easy to put together. Mine is 2" in diameter and 8" long and the inside "piston" rod is 1" in diameter and 11" long. I used a 1 1/4" cap for one end (fits the palm of my hand)...and a plastic disc on the other end that fits inside of the 2" tube.
Let me know how yours turns out!
I got that wok at the Academy Outdoors store in Oklahoma City but see that they have them in their online store. I like the thing... :)
Hope you have a great weekend Mike, thanks, and let me know if you have any questions on the piston!
Hi Mikey!
I don't have a favorite one for kielbasa but my favorite sausage recipe site is the Northwest Smoking site.
I've got it listed in my "favorite sites" list under my profile picture on the right.
They have some really good sausage recipes!!
Hope you post pictures of what you make. :)
I sent an e-mail to ya Mikey.
Look at you with your high end cooker and fancy plating ;)
lol I'm getting pretty uppity aren't I Chris! :)
J-
I enjoyed your canned Bambi as well. I was so enthralled that I failed to take any pictures! Hope we can do it again some time.
What is it about the special quality of the fat and connective tissue that gives cheeks that special "je ne sais quoi"? I don't know, but one of my summer projects will be to buy a full case of cheeks from Restaurant Depot and do barbacoa for a year.
Mark I just loved your canned beef cheeks. Thank you again for the trade!
Great idea on canning a whole case.. That would be awesome to have in the pantry.
Thanks again Mark! :)
