- 1 beef tongue
- 1/2 onion, cut into large pieces
- 2-4 cloves garlic
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- salt
- pepper
Place beef tongue, onion, garlic, and bay leaf in a slow cooker. Generously season with salt. Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients. Cook on Low for 8 hours.
Transfer the beef tongue to a cutting board and cool slightly. Peel outer layer of skin from beef tongue (should remove easily) and cut off the tough end at the back of the tongue. Chop the meat into small pieces. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the tongue meat and cook until beginning to crisp on the edges, about 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. A great protein for street tacos or burritos!
