How To Make southern style beef tongue
-
Step 1Scrub tongue, cover with water, and simmer 3 to 4 hours or until tender. Remove from heat. Remove skin and trim root end. Add remaining ingredients to 1 cup of the liquid in which tongue was cooked. Simmer tongue in mixture for 15 minutes.
-
Step 2Note: Beef tongue is much larger than those from veal or lamb; the smaller tongues are excellent and should be used more often. Beef tongue can be bought smoked, corned or fresh, while the smaller ones generally are uncured. Smoked tongue may be salty, needing to be soaked in cold water, so be sure you read the label.
