Here's an interesting cook.

Beef tongue!!!


I seasoned with webers Chicago steak seasoning. I know the seasoning will not penetrate the skin but it's a habit. Used a few chunks of hickory and smoked at 275 for about 6 hours. The last 2 I foiled and once the skin can be peeled easily it's done. I checked the temp and it was 195.

Maribel did a salsa. After getting a nice char on the tomatillos and chiles. She added 1/4 onion, 2 garlic cloves, 1/4 bunch of cilantro and 1 tbs salt.




Done and ready to chop once the skin is peeled off.


If you look closely some pieces had a smoke ring


Not a fancy cook and most of you guys won't give beef tongue a try but it's good stuff.



Thanks for stopping by.
Tony and Maribel.

I've had tongue...once it's sliced it's a lot more appealing. :biggrin: That looks good.

Tongue is great, you have some great color on that one. I usually pressure cook mine to get the skin off then smoke it, I will try it with the skin on next time.

Hi there!

I grew up on tongue - my father would scream that only a "stupid fink" wouldn't love such delicious tongue! So this made me smile!

Happy Holidays! Your photos looked absolutely beautiful!

Cheers! - Leah
