Today is the first day I’m making beef tongue on my own. Usually my mom cooks it for the family but I now live in my first place out of college. I’m designated as the ” mom” now or I make most of the family meals for my brother and me.

I am also trying out new cooking adventures because it don’t want to burn any dinner I make for Alex.

Alex is visiting family in California right now but he’ll be spending time with me when he returns. I want to make sure he knows I can take care of him.

Anyways, back to my beef tongue. It’s a very delicate meat you serve with just about anything.

To prepare the meat I took it put of the package and cleaned it with a cold water rinse ( pictured below):

Next I put the beef tongue in the crock pot with garlic, celery , pepper,chipotle Mrs.Dash and carrots. You can add onions as well. I use Mrs.Dash because I try to keep myself from having too much sodium or salt in my diet.

Once all my ingredients are in the crock pot, I fill the pot with water enough to cover the tongue. I slow cook it on low for 8 hours to make it extra tender.

Right now I am waiting for it to slow cook.

But once it is done slow cooking I will slice the top of the tongue off and discard it. The rest I will serve for dinner. Stay tuned.
