Preparation Tips

Thaw your Wagyu in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Once thawed, allow meat to reach room temperature for 30 minutes. 

Traditionally used for Barbacoa, Beef Cheeks are designed for braising or smoking. When prepared properly, the meat will be astonishingly tender and flavorful.

Prep Tips

Wagyu beef cheeks can be thawed in the method you choose (see below under "Handling and Thawing" for deeper guidance). We also recommend letting the beef cheeks sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before preparing.

Wagyu beef cheeks are among the most sought-after cuts in the culinary world. These rich and flavorful muscles come from the cow's cheek; it’s a tough cut that, with proper cooking, becomes a melt-in-your-mouth delicacy.  

Wagyu beef cheeks are a premium cut that exemplifies the quality of Lone Mountain Wagyu. Their tenderness and taste make them a must-try for anyone who loves good food.

Handling & Thawing

Not digging into your Wagyu right away? Place your vacuum-sealed package in your freezer upon delivery. Your meat should be good for up to 12 months in your freezer… though we doubt it will stay there that long!

Have some time? Thaw your beef in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. This is the best way to thaw, allowing the Wagyu to retain all of its natural juices for an exceptional flavor.

Hungry sooner? Keep beef in the vacuum-sealed package and submerge in a bowl of cold water for a few hours.

Change of dinner plans? Thawed steaks still in the vacuum-sealed package can be safely refrozen as long as they have remained refrigerated and have not been thawed for longer than a day.
