Slow Cooker Beef Tongue
This Slow Cooker Beef Tongue recipe makes for the best sandwich meat, and you won’t believe how easy it is. No stovetop, no tricky technique – you can make perfect, melt-in-your-mouth tender and delicious beef tongue in just a few simple steps using the magic of your slow cooker.
To start, rinse the beef tongue and place it in your slow cooker. Cover with water and add the spices. Season it like you would any other beef roast. I like to use bay leaves, onion, whole peppercorns and garlic. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for about 8 hours. Once cooked, peel the beef tongue while still warm and return it to its cooking liquid to retain its juiciness. Slice the beef tongue and serve it warm as a main dinner course or cold as a sandwich meat. And it’s also delicious on tacos. Enjoy!
