Ingredients
- 1 beef tongue
- 8 cups of chicken or beef broth or enough to cover
- 1/2 of an onion sliced
- 3 cloves of garlic peeled
- 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of pepper
Instructions
- Rinse the beef tongue and place it in a 5 qt dutch oven.
- Add enough chicken or beef broth to cover the tongue.
- Add sliced onion, peeled garlic cloves, sea salt, and pepper.
- Cover the dutch oven and bring everything to a boil. This will take about 15 minutes, give or take, depending on your stovetop.
- Once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 2.5 - 3 hours. I suggest checking the internal temperature after about 2 hours of simmering to see where it’s at.
- Once it's cooked through, use a slotted spoon to transfer it to a cutting board to cool slightly.
- Use a knife and tongs to peel off the skin carefully.
- Be sure to remove any unwanted fat from the bottom side of the tongue.
- Slice the tongue thin and enjoy it as is, or shred the meat and add it to a hot skillet with butter for tacos or burritos.
Notes
Store leftovers once cooled in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat the meat in a skillet with a little butter or cooking oil.
