Beef tongue is a lean whole muscle that becomes incredibly tender after a long cook. In addition to a deep beefy flavor, the tongue meat is packed with iron, zinc, and vitamin B-12.
The tongue is a highly used muscle which means it will be tough unless the fibers are able to break down. To get the best results, cook the tongue low and slow in liquid.
We recommend poaching the tongue with spices to make corned tongue for sandwiches or braising it as a taco filling.
Each package of Nature’s view beef tongue weighs a pound and half which is enough of this rich meat to feed four to six people.
