Slow Cooker Spiced Beef Tongue
- add review
- #23263
Beef tongue needs to be cooked just right and the crock pot makes that easy. The seasoned cooking liquid not only adds flavor but it helps tenderize the meat.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Grew up with my mother cooking beef tongue and I wish I had gotten her recipe because I've never been able to get it just right. This was pretty close to how hers turned out (she cooked the tongue on the stovetop though). I will say that removing the skin is nasty. That is the one thing as a kid that made me leary of tongue but it always tasted so good that I would forget how weird it looked. If you have never cooked beef tongue I would start with this recipe as it had good flavor and was really easy to make.

Super-easy and soooo delicious! My first attempt at preparing tongue (thuogh I had enjoyed it often as a child) and I plan to do it again and again, using this very recipe. The meat came out tender and delicately seasoned. As a bonus, the skin came off much more easily than I had thought it would - I was expecting somewhat of a struggle!

Very tender tasty tongue. Great hot or cold; makes a great sandwich. The spices are reminiscent of good corned beef.
Your spiced beef tongue recipe is confusing in that it says it takes 5 hours to prepare, but cooking time ranges from 10 to 12 hours. Needs some clarification. Bill
: No, it says it is ready in > 5 hours (more than 5 hours - think back to grade school math class and the "greater than" symbol) which is merely a classification of recipe. Always follow the directions for exact cooking times.
8 hrs. on low turned the tongue to mush!
What model slow cooker are you using? There is one brand that heats far too hot to cook properly. That brand used to be great but the newer models are horrendous. Most recipes you'll find online are meant for slow cookers that heat properly.
