I went and helped our beef rancher with slaughtering today and came home with a tongue, heart, and tail (front, middle and behind of the steer). I got plans for the heart and tail, but nothing solid for the tongue. I'm leaning towards a tacos de lengua recipe I saw on SeriousEats, but I'm open for any of your favorite recipes and suggestions. Thanks!

Sadly, tongue is on my list of things-I'm-pretty-sure-I-don't-like-even-though-I've-never-tried-them. So ... may I suggest a new tounge-themed avatar instead?

Whatever you do, don’t pickle it. That’s what my grandmother used to do with tongue and it was perhaps her only culinary failing. To this day, I can’t eat tongue. Not even on tacos.Comment

I cook tongue a few times a year. For beef tongue, I use a pressure cooker with beef broth, onions and peppers for 35-40 mins. Then peel the skin off and all the fat. The tip should pull apart easy, the thicker rear part I’ll throw on the smoker for a few mins and give it a nice light smoke and a little glaze. You can either chop it up or slice it for sandwiches. My kids like the pulled beef tacos!!
Here’s some pork tongues I did just a week or two ago.

Tacos! Forget the rib rule, though. Do boil to peel, then BBQComment

I like to just boil, peel, cut thin, and then grill and eat them as medallions with Chimichurri. Probably just a lack of imagination on my part but I never actually ate them in a taco but that sounds great and I will have to try that. https://jesspryles.com/ultimate-beef-tongue-recipe/Comment
