Description
Tender and flavorful slow cooker beef tongue, perfectly cooked with aromatic vegetables and spices. Ideal for slicing and serving with your favorite sides or in tacos.
Ingredients
1 whole beef tongue (about 3 pounds), rinsed
1 large onion, peeled and quartered
3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 tablespoon kosher salt
4 cups beef broth
2 cups water
2 carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
2 celery stalks, cut into large chunks
Instructions
Rinse the beef tongue under cold running water and trim any excess fat or glands if present.
Place the beef tongue in the slow cooker.
Add the quartered onion, smashed garlic cloves, bay leaves, black peppercorns, kosher salt, carrots, and celery to the slow cooker.
Pour the beef broth and water over the ingredients in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the tongue is very tender and a knife easily pierces through it.
Carefully remove the tongue from the slow cooker and let it cool slightly until it is safe to handle.
Using a sharp knife, peel off the thick outer skin of the tongue. It should come off easily once cooked.
Slice the peeled tongue into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Serve warm with your choice of sides or use in tacos, sandwiches, or salads.
