It's time to face your fears and try cooking beef tongue. It has such a mild and delicious flavor (nothing like organs such as liver or kidney). It tastes similar to a beef roast and is very affordable. You're going to love it!
Here's a simple and easy beef tongue recipe for those on the carnivore diet—just meat, salt, butter, and water. Of course, you always have the option to add spices or aromatics if you feel good and enjoy eating them.
You can use a dutch oven, pressure cooker / instant pot, or crockpot. My preference is the dutch oven, but all will work great. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
