I've renewed my absolute love of barbacoa (beef cheeks). Did them again last Friday. Search on "barbacoa" for AndyJ's thread from 2011 and replies if you're interested. I get beef cheeks at Sam's Club, in a cryovac of about 6-8 lbs. The cheeks are sometimes full sized (about 12 oz or so, and sometimes smaller pieces, There is a ton of fat and gristle to remove and you can't get all of it, but what you can't get melts into a delicious gelatinous coating after low and slow. The flavor is incredible; beefy, a bit gamey, juicy, and just ready for a corn or flour tortilla and some pico de gallo or green salsa with avocado and lettuce or cilantro. Give it a try!
