Cuts that used to only be known by a select few as "secret" butcher's cuts, or seen only in restaurants, are now appearing in the local supermarkets, from hanger steaks to chuck flaps.
But if there is one cut that is starting to become more and more common that you should definitely keep an eye out for are cheeks.
Yes, literally cheeks.
These tender morsels are your new best friends for the most delicious succulent dishes.
Because they are well-marbled and muscled, they are ideal for things like braises and stews.
If you do source cheeks, here are some of our favorite ways to use them!
Cider Braised Pork Cheeks.
Chef John Beef Cheeks These large slabs of meat make a perfect meal for two and are terrific when you want deep beefy flavor along with that sticky unctuousness that you also find in cuts like short ribs.
Because of that, they can be subbed in for short ribs easily in your favorite recipes!
We also love to cut them into large cubes for beef stew, or small cubes for Texas-style chilis, which often use small cuts instead of ground meats.
Any slow cooked beef dish, like ropa vieja, is wonderful with this cut as well.
You can also make one into a small pot roast for two!
If you love to smoke brisket, but do not have the time for such a lengthy project, beef cheeks are a great swap out for the same style and flavor at a fraction of the time.
Pork cheeks are much smaller than beef cheeks, and one cheek is a perfect serving for one person.
These too are great for braised and slow cooked dishes like pulled pork, pork ragu, and these cider-braised pork cheeks, but they also do well in the smoker with that low and slow technique allowing for all the fat and collagen to melt, making for amazing smoked pork cheek sandwich potential.
Fish cheeks are usually sized for a 1-2 cheek per person portion and have some of the same wonderful qualities that the beef and pork cheeks have, but with all the fast-cooking benefits of fish.
They make for wonderful juicy portions that can be seamlessly swapped in for any fillet of your choosing, but you will find no better use for them than a classic fish and chips, they stay super moist and juicy in the frying process, and are flavorful and delicate to eat.
They also make for perfect sandwiches, if you want to DIY an elevated version of Filet o Fish, but have enough fat to stand up beautifully to smoking, which you can even do in a stovetop smoker.

La respuesta a la pregunta sobre si vale la pena cocinar mejilla de cerdo como un corte barato es que aunque el resultado es sabroso, la cantidad de carne magra en una mejilla es tan pequeña que resulta más como un plato de frijoles con sabor a cerdo. Para satisfacer el apetito promedio de un hombre saludable, se necesitarían al menos una mejilla por persona, lo que anula la idea de las mejillas de cerdo como un corte barato. El texto también describe cómo se puede cocinar una mejilla de cerdo con frijoles, incluyendo el proceso de escabechar, cocinar los frijoles y hornear el conjunto. El autor concluye que, aunque puede ser una opción, es importante considerar la cantidad de carne y el costo antes de elegir este corte. El proceso de cocción implica remojar los frijoles, preparar un escabeche para la mejilla, cocinar los frijoles y luego hornear la mejilla con los frijoles y especias. El autor también menciona que el resultado puede variar dependiendo de la temperatura y el tiempo de cocción.

Braised pork cheeks in wine sauce is a delicate yet powerful dish.
Although the meat is tender and melts on your tongue, the flavour is outstanding.
I encountered this dish on a tapas night in San Sebastian, Spain.
It’s their star dish; they no longer have to write it down on the menu board since it’s so popular.
It is served as tapas, which means a small portion.
This recipe is my take on this famous dish called Carrilleras de cerdo al vino tapa.
The trick here is to cook slow and long pork cheeks.
They are so underrated; they should be the most expensive and exquisite piece of pork, but lucky for our wallets, it’s not…
Its secret, the collagen, is a flavour bomb and, if cooked properly, gets so tender.

When I asked for it at a butcher’s shop, I got the impression that he had never sold cheeks before.
But he had some in the fridge, minus the skin, so I took a couple.
When I got them home and started to cook them, the first thing I noticed was how fatty they are, so I trimmed off the outer layer of fat.
I then treated the pork cheeks as I would beef cheeks, into the slow cooker with some carrot and onion and cooked on high until tender.
With the pork cheeks this took about 4 hours.
The end result was great for one of the cheeks, so tender I cut it in half with a plastic serving spoon.
The second cheek was a bit stringy, but both had the great taste of pork that I love so much.
I would love to get pork cheeks with the skin still on and roast them, I think they would be spectacular.
