Baked beef tongue in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake your tongue? Prepare all products. We, in fact, only need tongue and salt. Do not use a tongue that is too large - it will take a very long time to cook and may turn out tough. It is optimal if you have a tongue weighing about 1 kg. I use regular table salt, but you can also use flavored salt: Adyghe or Sevan.

2. STEP 2

   

   Since the tongue is still an offal, it must be washed very well. It will be best if you use a special brush for washing food. You can also soak your tongue in cold water for 1-2 hours - this way you will wash off most of the blood and less foam will be released during cooking.

3. STEP 3

   

   Fill your tongue with clean water and put it on fire.

4. STEP 4

   

   Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat, constantly skimming off the foam, for about an hour. If your tongue is more than 1 kg, the cooking time can be increased.

5. STEP 5

   

   Take out your tongue.

6. STEP 6

   

   While it's hot, remove the skin from your tongue.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the tongue in a heatproof dish. Cover the pan with foil and bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 1 -1.5 hours. For a crispy crust, remove the foil 20 minutes before the end of cooking. If you don't want the crust, you don't have to remove the foil.

8. STEP 8

   

   Salt the finished tongue. You can also pepper it or add some of your favorite seasonings.

   Bon appetit!

It’s nice to sometimes diversify the menu with something unusual and delicious. Baked beef tongue in the oven comes in handy in this case. Of course, it’s not quick to prepare, but it’s worth it. Although active participation in preparation is minimal. The only thing I had to struggle with was removing the skin. She didn't give in to me at all. If it came off with a bang from the upper part of the tongue, then I had to suffer with the lower half. I cooked the tongue for one hour (even a little more), baked it in the sleeve for an hour and a half. 20 minutes before the end of time, I cut the sleeve so that a crust would form on the tongue. The language turned out great. The crust, however, came out a little harsh, but inside the tongue turned out tender and soft. You can cut it into sandwiches, serve it as a snack, or just eat it for dinner. Thank you very much for the recipe!
