Prepare the Beef Tongue
Place the beef tongue in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for about 3-4 hours, or until tender. Remove tongue and let it cool slightly before peeling off the skin.

Make the 1000 Island Dressing

Brulee the Swiss Cheese
In a skillet over medium heat, grill the sandwich on both sides until golden brown. Once flipped, cover with a lid to help melt the Swiss cheese. Optionally, use a kitchen torch to brulee the cheese for a crispy top.
