Method

Preparation of Beef Tongue

  1. 1

    Clean the Tongue

    Rinse the beef tongue under cold running water to remove any impurities. Pat it dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Boil the Tongue

    Place the cleaned tongue in a large pot of boiling water. Boil for about 2 hours or until tender. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface.

  3. 3

    Peel the Tongue

    Once cooked, remove the tongue from the pot and let it cool slightly. Peel off the outer layer of skin while still warm.

Marinating and Cooking

  1. 4

    Marinate the Tongue

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Coat the peeled tongue in the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 5

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.

  3. 6

    Grill the Tongue

    Place the marinated tongue onto the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it develops a nice char and is heated through.

Serving

  1. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the tongue from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice thinly against the grain and serve with fresh cilantro, radishes, and lime wedges on the side.
