Grilled tongue


I got a whole cow tongue from an organic farmer and have been doing a bit of research on how to prepare it. The family traditional way is to boil it for 2-3 hours in plain water, remove the thick white skin, slice it and serve with soya sauce.

On the web, I found this grill method for cooking the back half of the tongue.
1. Use a pointy sharp knife to remove all the tough white skin while raw. Cut off the back half and reserve the other parts for stew or soup.
2. Cut the back half into thick slices, season with salt and black pepper, rest for at least an hour.
3. Dry sear on a hot pan or grill until slightly brown, around 2 minutes each sides.
The meat is slightly crunchy and it is indeed a simple and tasty way to cook that part of the tongue.
