BEEF TONGUE - CROCK POT

Steps:

• Rinse the tongue and put in pot.
• Put enough water to cover.
• Season like you would your favorite beef roast with bay leaves, pepper, fresh minced or jarred garlic and salt if you like.
• Cook on low for 8-9 hours.

• The skin should have popped off.
• If it did not remove the skin, slice and enjoy some heaven.

SPRING HILL RANCH'S BEEF TONGUE STEW

Steps:

• 1. Place the beef tongue, chopped carrots, parsley, bay leaves, pepper corns and quartered onion in a 6 qt pot (or pressure cooker) with sufficient water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce to rolling simmer covered for 2 1/2 hours. If cooking in a pressure cooker, cook at high pressure (15 psi) for 60-75 minutes, then allow pressure to release normally.
• 2. Remove the tongue. Peel off the skin and trim the underside a bit. Discard the first 1/4" slice from the back. Then cut 1/4" slices crosswise to tip of tongue. You then add these slices to the prepared sauce (directions following) and simmer covered for about 45 minutes after which you continue simmering for one hour uncovered, stirring occasionally. Then serve the slices covering them with the sauce.
• 3. For the sauce: While the tongue is cooking, in a 6 quart saucepan sauté the garlic, onion and green pepper in oil. Add the tomatoes, and parsley. Simmer until the tomatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Add the beef stock, cover the pot and simmer it for 1 hour. Remove the cover and simmer it for another hour to allow reduction and thickening, stirring occasionally. Add the tongue slices as described above to finish the cooking process.

DELICIOUS CROCK POT BEEF TONGUE TACOS

Steps:

• Place 1st 10 ingredients in crock pot & cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. You can slice the tongue lengthwise to make it fit, that's usually what I do.
• You can substitute beef stock for the water as suggested by my gracious reviewer Klyn or experiment, I often use Caldo de Res by Knorr. This is just so good I make it whenever I see fresh beef tongue in the market.
• Before you remove tongue from crock pot prep the rest of the ingredients for toppings, etc. (the lime is for a squeeze over your tacos). Garnish with these as you like. Sometimes I just put cilantro, scallions, a touch of avocado, salt, pepper & lime but experiment! Adjust amount as needed. I usually just make enough for two people & then make fresh each day for leftovers.
• Once tongue is done remove & peel off outer layer, it comes off pretty easily once it's fully cooked. Chop or shred meat and make your tacos! This is so delicious you probably won't have leftovers but if you do it's even better the next day! Enjoy!
• I've added some photos, I was being lazy tonight & just slapped some of the chopped tongue onto white bread with some mayo & a little salt. Absolutely delicious! Do try this, the meat is so incredibly tender & delicious I just can't describe it in words -- .
