oh my, you can do better than that. 1 tablespoon pickling spice, a few sliced garlic cloves, onion, 1 sm. spicy pepper (or chili flakes), salt. make shallow incisions all over; tongue has very thick skin and will taste bland otherwise.

I am from New Zealand and this was definately one of the favorites on our dinner table. Mum prepared exactly the same way. I venture a little further and add the peppercorns and bay leaves great suggestion.

I only boiled with salt, but will add garlic, bay leaf and onions next time. Wish I could remember what my mother used for seasoning, but it wasn't much more than salt I believe. I boiled the tongue for three hours then put it into cold water for a few minutes before removing the outer skin. Then sliced it into 1/4 inch pieces. Then I roasted 8 slices of the meat with four quartered potatoes and some carrot pieces in a dutch oven with 1 cup beef broth @ 350 for about an hour; made gravy from the drippings left in the pan...great dinner!! My husband and I were both raised on farms and beef tongue was a treat. When we ordered 1/2 a beef they gave us two tongues...bonus!!

Cut the cook time in half by using your pressure cooker. This also drives the spices through out the meat.

This recipe isn't for everyone. I grew up on a farm and we raised our own beef, so I'm used to eating things like this. Beef tongue was a delicacy that was only had once a year. It tastes no different than roast beef other than it's richer in flavor. I think the biggest problem most people have is getting past the "idea" that it's a tongue.

This takes me back. Every spring mom would fix a big pot of calf's tongue(tenderer she said), fresh green beans and new potatoes. Never used any seasoning but salt. Really good but nobody in my family(husband and kids) will eat it/even try tongue.

In my country is a very special plate, just boiled or prepared for a great familiar o party time, but boiled means, onion, pepper, bay leaves, garlic, white vinegar, and the tongue of course. But, just salt is not enough.

Oh this is delicious but I take this recipe one step further by using my families old recipe. After cooking and slicing the tongue, dip it in egg or milk and fluff it with flour. Then fry it in butter or lard till browned. season with salt and pepper. It's out of this world delicious. I slipped it to my BF, which can be a fussy eater, and he flipped. Now he tells everyone they have to try it!!!!
