Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparing the Tongue

    Rinse the beef tongue under cold water to remove any impurities. Place the tongue in a pot.

  2. 2

    Cooking the Tongue

    Add 4 cups of water, onion, garlic, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and salt to the pot. Bring to a boil.

  3. 3

    Simmering

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Allow to simmer for about 2 to 3 hours or until the tongue is tender.

  4. 4

    Peeling the Tongue

    Remove the tongue from the pot and let it cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel off the outer skin.

  5. 5

    Slicing and Serving

    Slice the tongue into thin pieces and serve it warm or cold with your choice of sides or sauces.
