Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Place beef tongue in a crock pot, pour over 1-2 cups of water, and cook on low for 8 hours.
- After 8 hours, remove from crock pot, and carefully removed the thick skin from the tongue (it helps to use a fork).
- Using two forks, shred the beef tongue.
- Place shredded tongue into a cast iron skillet and turn on to medium heat.
- Combine all spices in a small mixing bowl. (Save extra in a small bag or empty jar.)
- Pour chorizo spice over meat and stir until seasoned equally.
- Add water or left over broth from the crock pot as needed to help mobilize the spices, a little goes a long way.
- Start with a quarter cup of liquid and stir.

Is this really for 3 oz of tongue, or is it supposed to be 3 lbs? Looks like the spices would really overwhelm 3 oz of meat, so I’m guessing it’s a typo and supposed to be 3 lbs of tongue (the weight of an average tongue, more or less). Plus, who’s gonna kick up the crock pot for 8 hours for only 3 oz of meat?
what does tongue taste like lol I am getting a few pounds soon and am new to offal.
When cooked, it shreds easily and tastes like roast beef. It’s amazing!! Don’t be afraid of it. Tongue is a nice cut of ‘offal’ to get started with. Very forgiving, and tastes great.
