Let’s make MOLLEJAS!
Now mollejas are a favorite in South Texas and in Mexico because they are super delicious. They’re called “sweet breads” in English and are the thymus gland of the cow.
The flavor is a light mineraly/earth flavor but I promise…when you cook this delicacy perfectly, it is some of the best eating you will ever have and you WILL cook them again and again.
There are different ways to cook them and in this video I’m gonna show you the ARNIETEX way.
So what makes a perfect molleja? You want a perfectly soft and moist texture on the inside AND a nice crispy crunch on the outside and there are a couple of things you need to do to reach that.
I like to filet them for faster cooking and season them with a little APC WOW! then get them on direct coals with a low to medium fire. Or like in this video you can start them indirect for the first hour or so while flipping to get some color and smoky flavor going. I like to wrap them for the next hour or two depending how hot the fire is with a little beef tallow or oil to help fry up the outside while the inside cooks to perfection. I like to finish them with one last little sear before chopping them up for some tacos with a salsa verde…yeahhhh buddy!
Now, let’s get fired up and make some smoky soft n crispy mollejas!
Vamonos! Yeehaw!

When you walk into a party that’s the kind of man you want to see cooking. You know your going to eat good!! Great video as always Arnie
This is the man everyone calls tio Arnie even if they aren’t related
I've never seen a sweet bread recipe on youtube.. but you're the man to do it.
Funny thing I was just thinking about that a few days ago, hmmmm, thanks
I'm looking this up because my brother he would always put somthing special on the corner for him and his wife everytime not sharing to much. He did say he had a special eay to make 5hem to. Hes been gone for about 5 years . Was laying here trying to remember the name of what he would make . I described it kinda like brains . So good , finally it hit me SweetBreads, found it ...I'm happy now if I can cook to perfection like he did I will enjoy. This next cook out will be in memories of my brother Jerry South Texas cookout
Wow those Mollejas look amazing. My dad used to make those all the time. We always boil them first to help them cook a little faster on the grill. I like the technic of frying them. I’m gonna try that out. Saludos desde San Antonio,Tx
Mollejas are the best. My Mexicano bud told me that I should try them one day and OMG. I received the keys to the kingdom. Wow! Thats all I can say.
I've been grilling them for about 30 years now along with the ribeye and the moyejjas seem to steal the show.Suprising most folks have never heard of them
I watch bbq videos all the time, and this one just hit home, you have me hungry!!!
As a puro gringo that enjoys em, I've never tried making them. I followed your procedure fairly close and I have to say man... Some of the best damn mollejas I've ever had. If you're wondering if they taste as good as they look, they do. Much love from a fellow south Texan!
You're making me hungry Arnie great video so happy to see a fellow valley native to make a name for yourself
Just pulled some off the grill and they were wonderful. The smell was way too good so resting time was like punishment. I've never grilled them before and pulled them off at 185°. Perfect medium to medium well with grill temp at 275°. They were beef butter and delicious. Only took 2 hrs from start to finish. Thanks for the recipe Arnie Tex, you're the best!
Arnie I love your instructive videos. These look delicious!
Made me think of my daddy he loved sweet breads.
Everything you cook always looks delicious!😎
One of the few Mollejas videos that’s out there and this is a damn good one! I’ve watched this like 4 times today just to admire the perfection of these beautiful sweetbreads. Awesome job boss man. Keep that smoke rolling and love that Texas Stick Burner shirt! Cheers compa 🍻!
I've only ever seen them once at a taco shop. I passed because I didn't know what they were but I'm definitely going to go back to try them now.
My step-dad, introduced my family to mollejas de res. Ty for sharing your recipe!
Omg I’m from Laredo (now live in Kentucky) and mollejas are my fav!!! I miss my south Texas mollejas! Love your channel!
Oye! Laredo represent! (now live in Florida)
@@SeanMcGeeWebDude yay!
Amazing as always brother! 🤜
Had my first Mollejas in Alice Texas and NEVER forgot how good they were off that grill.
Great cook Arnie I need to try that I’ve never heard of that cut of meat 🥩🍺😋👍🏼
Arnie, excellent video on thos delicious mollejas! Watering mouth. Deffinitely will try to prepare’em your style. Keep up the great job
your reactions to the food are what im here for hahaha!
It's one of my favorite foods! Thanks Arnie!
Love your channel and the stuff you cook.
Another awesome video! Thanks a lot Arnie keep it up brotha! Gonna make some this weekend but gonna boil first and crisp em up at the end!
I used to do that brother but a lot of the flavor stays in the broth. Think about it like any soup, the meats give up their flavor to the broth and thats what makes those soups so good. You still lose some to the fire but not nearly as much, try without boiling and see if you like them that way. For boiling I would jaccard them then cook with some seasoning and garlic, onions and beef base, pretty good but again but not as rich in flavor imo.
I bought some mollejas about a month ago, and have been waiting for a good recipe can't wait to try it. thanks!
Hope you enjoy
Just bought some OG at Veras, can't wait to try it 😁
I just found your channel and can't wait to try these!! Thank you!
Hope you enjoy!
Arnie, thats one dish I haven't tried.... Yet!!!
Great job Arnie
Good job, finally something that was missing in ST cooking that is one of our best GOAT foods of our heritage. It’s in our DNA for a fiesta in the backyard. Thanks . I do mine a little different but will try your way ASAP
They were so good!!!❤❤❤
Looks amazing!
Holy Sweet Bread! Thanks, Arnie.
Those look amazing! Gonna have to make some soon now.
You should!
Wow that looks great or any I can't wait to try that 💞👍
What an interesting way to cook sweetbreads, I would not have thought to cook them slow like that. I cooked them a few times many years ago when I worked as a fine dining chef but it was pan fried with a wine sauce. That meat is almost impossible to find at normal grocery stores but I will have to check at a Latin butcher. Thanks Arnie!
They're also available at the Asian markets. Smoky & bien crocantes!!
H-E-B has them here in San Marcos. So I’m sure they do other places south of here.
Great video dude
Now that's some good eating
Any tips/advice on how to make these without a grill?
Orale, that's some good eating!! Enjoy
Came from south Texas “Harlingen” love them but up in Arkansas they come off angus beef and are tiny. Not like South Texas. People up here don’t even know what they are! One butcher did know and he got us some from the shop he works at. Says no one asked about them but they are his best cut.....although small I don’t want to dry them out.... so...I’ll do the best I can. Blessings to you and thanks for your video... we also miss Barbacoa.....
I've always really liked mollejas but I've never made them before.
Oh yeah, I'm making this
My family was able to master cooking these. to the point that we had other family and friends asking us to cook it for them. The secret is boiling them for 20 -30 min and then seasoning them and butterfly them down. Once on the grill keep flipping them till they start foaming heavily. The trick is to keep flipping them often so they dont burn. They come out super buttery on the inside and crispy on the out. Im curious on the smoking technique though might have to try that next time. Any tips on where to buy them, most of the meat markets in the 956 have really fatty ones.

For boiling I would jaccard them then cook with some seasoning and garlic, onions and beef base, pretty good but again but not as rich in flavor imo. I have bought mine at all the local meat markets and HEB and sometimes more fatty than others, I just trim off the excess. Thanks amigo, you get bonus points from me for being a flippity flipper lol. 🤣
Muy bueno!!! My stomach’s growling…
Ya me dio hambre..Qué bárbaro
I have never had these but they look delicious. Only ever had mollejas de pollo
Omg wwwy omg
Ohh yea finally a mojella video!😄 where do you like to buy your mollejas Arnie?
All the local markets and HEB sell them and I have bought them at all of them at one time or another.
Looks good
Can I move to your house everything you cook looks so good
Nice job… we usually fry them but I’m gonna try them like that next time
I first had fried mollejas at a place near Uvalde… the lady wasn’t sure if the guerro knew what he was getting. Loved them. Came home and saw about smoking them and said that’s me. Gotten pretty good. Gave some to some coworkers who grew up with them and they loved it. Also love the comment about crawfish brain…
Tripas next 🔥
#Vamanos #Shout Out @Arnie Tex #Puro South Texas In The House! #Eso #Come On! #Awesome Cook!
Saludos @Robert Benavides!
Yum 🤤
Any places I'm san antonio where I can pick up your line of seasonings?
That's What's Up ☑️💯😋
Awesome as usual vato. Where did u get those “momos?” I usually get them at HEB but urs looked like a better texture when u were prepping 👍
Actually those are from HEB
Great stuff Arnie. What was the tortilla softener??
What part of the RGV is he from!? I'm from the RGV! I just found his channel appreciate this video because I always boil them in a caldo spicy tomato knorr then crisp em on the grill! Never tried em fried though!
Hello from Laredo, can you do this in the oven and get similar results ❓
If you put some lime, even better. Mollejas are so good.
How long do you cook them?
Esta chingon
The last comment was very accurate. Only seafood I can do is fish and shrimp. 🤣😂
delicious! really good eating. you dont know what youre missing. go try this. youll be in heaven
Was the meat cleaver gifted to you?I would love to have one like it !! Just discovered your channel .Really enjoy I Do you even cook tongue?
Would it be ok to use bacon grease instead of beef tallow?
Where did you get that bbq pit at?
Where do you find those great mollejas?
What about on the slow smoker?
Do we need to soak in some milk or salt water and then but them in ice water? The others steps seem so hard.
one way to ensure tender mollejas is boiling til fork tender before grilling or frying.
I used to do that brother but alot of the flavor stays in the broth. Think about it like any soup, the meats give up their flavor to the broth and thats what makes those soups so good.

@@ArnieTex very true, you don't get alot of the smoky flavor either. keep up the good work hermano.
Hey I used to be able to buy these but now I can’t get them. Where are you able to buy these please? I’m in dallas Texas FYI. Thanks.
Most grocery stores and meat markets all sell them here in south Tx, try your hispanic markets. Try Fiesta grocery chains, I know I been to one in Forth Worth not sure if Dallas has one.
Thanks very much - I’m going to try fiesta and your recipe. Much appreciated!
I wish that I could have been at your house that night
Good old tejano cooking
Could I do these on a pellet grill? Same temps?
I do them on my pellet grill. I wrap in butcher paper since they have enough oil imo. Then I crisp them up on my griddle since I still have other stuff on the pellet grill.
Here is a dumb question. What part of what animal does this come from? Or does "MOLLEJAS" mean mystery meat in Spanish?
It's in the title description and mentioned several times in the video Tyler, mollejas are the thymus gland,thanks
What are they made from?
These are glands. Not meat, but inner organs like kidneys. Delicious prepared this way.
I'm thinking of boiling em then finishing em off in the air fryer. Too hot to turn on the grill right now.
🎉🎉🎉🎉
You don’t clean them before hand and take off the cartilage that holds them together? Does the slow cooking process make that step unnecessary?
Oh man.
Este viejon es la mera verga.... la pancita recipe que dio la última ves fue una delicia
🥵🤤🔥
I always thought mollejas where a piece of the butt😅
Aren’t mollejas, gizzards?
Waste no part of the animal 😋👍🏻
What the hell is it? Looks like organs
@@S1CKTR1CKY thanks for answering my question dick
@@Undisputed8918 did you not watch the video? lol.
