Beef Tongue Tips?

[TexasMuskrat]

Alright y'all, picked up an interesting cut at the store this morning. Beef tongue tips? Not sure but I am thinking it is the back end of the tongue and need some ideas as to what to do with them. They were 5.99/lb and i got 4 packages around 2lbs each.

Hmmm looks like mislabeled chuck roast to me

I agree with Jeff. If that was cut from beef tongue it had to come from Babe the blue ox.

I decided to break one up and it definitely looks like one is a tongue tip. Never seen anything like this. I guess I will figure out what to do with it.

Could be. Still doesn’t look quite right but I’ve never bought “tips” only whole tongue.

At any rate low and slow is best. I did a couple “tongue pastrami “ not long ago, I can post the link if you like. Main thing was I smoked low and slow 225-250 then wrapped at about 160 then took it to probe tender was right around 203 IT.

I saw that post. Looked wonderful. I agree it doesn't look quite right. Thinking i might go talk to the meat market at the store to get the info. I was thinking putting in a foil pan and doing 225 until all is probe tender or 225 for some smoke and then into the crockpot for finish.

Sounds like a good plan. Keep us updated.
