Tongue: The Cut You Didn’t Know You’d Love

Always 100% Grass-Fed & Pasture-Raised


A Bite-Sized Take

Silky, tender, and full of deep, beefy flavor, beef tongue is a slow-cooked delicacy prized in cuisines around the world. When braised or simmered, it transforms into melt-in-your-mouth perfection, making it a must-try for adventurous eaters and comfort food lovers alike.

  • Best Cooking Methods: Braise, slow cook, or pressure cook.

  • Quick Tip: For the best texture, remove the outer white layer while the tongue is still hot.

  • Perfect For: Tacos de lengua, sliced sandwiches, or hearty stews.

Every Juicy Detail

Beef tongue is an incredibly tender, flavorful cut that rewards patience with an unbelievably rich, velvety bite. Long, slow cooking melts away toughness, allowing the meat to develop a buttery texture that rivals even the finest cuts of beef.

The key to preparing beef tongue? Peeling it while it’s hot. After simmering or braising, the outer white layer must be removed immediately to reveal the delicate meat beneath. Once peeled, the meat can be sliced, shredded, or crisped up in a pan for added texture.

From authentic tacos de lengua to hearty soups and sandwiches, beef tongue is a cut worth discovering. If you’ve never tried it, this is your sign—it’s time to experience why this traditional favorite has been beloved for generations.
