Categories     Main Course

Time 5h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 beef tongue (2 or 3 lb.)
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
1 teaspoon whole allspice
2 tablespoons butter
2 medium onions, (chopped)
8 oz sliced mushrooms
2 cups low-sodium beef or chicken broth
1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cornstarch, (optional)

Steps:

  • Rinse the tongue and place it in a large stockpot. Add enough water to cover - I use 14 cups of water.
  • Bring to a boil. This will likely take 20-30 minutes. Skim the foam off from the top.
  • Lower the heat to a simmer. Add the bay leaves, peppercorns and allspice, and cook, partially covered, turning the tongue every hour to ensure even cooking on all sides. Cook 3 hours for a 2-lb. tongue, 4 hours for a 3-lb. tongue.
  • Remove the cooked tongue to a cutting board. Allow it to cool until easier to handle, then remove the skin, as shown in the video, slice and serve, with or without sauce.
  • To make the sauce, heat a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and swirl to coat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, 10 minutes.
  • Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until soft.
  • Add broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the sliced tongue, cover it with the sauce, lower heat to a simmer, and cook, uncovered, for about 30 minutes.
  • If you wish to thicken the sauce, 5 minutes before it's done, mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 2 teaspoons of cold water and stir the mixture into the sauce.
  • Arrange tongue slices on plates and top them with the dsauce. Serve immediately.
