    Smoking beef tongue

    The only time I've had beef tongue was at a local mom and pop Mexican joint up the street at it is delicious tacos I get same thing everytime. Looking for direction in trying to smoke one since I now have access to them for next to nothing. Anyone have experience doing this that would be willing to give me some direction?

    A quick check on youtube will yield several ideas on smoking beef tongue. Here is one example.

    It sounds a little gross to me but I do know it is a very healthy option for ones diet.

      Ahumadora is a resident expert on it. Saw him do Tongue pastrami the other day that looked killer.

        Koreans do great thing with bbq tongue.

        Tacos de lengua is my Kryptonite. I could eat them every day.

          I use an insta pot first. Once it’s tender then you can smoke it, grill it or crisp it up in a skillet. It’s pretty easy to fix.

            Boil 2 - 2 1/2 hours until starts to get tender and has shrunk. Cold water then peel the skin. It should come off easy. I prefer boiling to sous vide as it is easier to peel. Drop in Meatheads Pastrami brine for 4-5 days, wash, then heavy coat of beef rub and smoke for about 2 hours until around 160f internal. Slice and serve on soft bun with chimichuri or Salsa Criolla.

              This just moved to the top of the To Do list.

            Boil it for a couple of hours and remove the skin. Then smoke to 160-170. It will slice nicely. Love a tongue sandwich, mayo, onion, on a good roll.

              I cured mine for the appropriate amount of time, simmered like corned beef. Then peel it and saute a slice or two. Seems a little lean for smoking, but would be great with proper treatment.
