Beef Lengua from Scratch!

This is the first time making beef lengua from scratch and boy was it rewarding. I took out my awesome pressure cooker again to cut the time. The ingredients are relatively straight forward and you can either make tacos with it or just eat it with rice! Here's what I did!

Ingredients:

2.5 lb of Beef Lengua (Tongue)
Cooking Oil (used Avocado oil)
Seasoning
Salt
Pepper
Cilantro
Lemon
3-4 Garlic Cloves
Worcestershire sauce
Water

Instructions:

1) Wash and rinse beef tongue with cold running water and pat it really dry
2) Generously salt, pepper, splash Worcestershire sauce on the beef tongue all around

3) Dice loosely some cilantro to insert in the pressure cooker
4) Cut half a lemon to insert in the pressure cooker
5) Splash some cooking oil and mince the garlic cloves to flavor the beef tongue before searing
5) Heat your pressure cooker to medium-high and sear the beef tongue on all sides

6) Pour enough water such that it fills up to half of the beef tongue vertically

7) Pressurize and set timer to 60 minutes

8) Once time has elapsed, depressurize and remove the thick outer skin and discard

 

9) Now dice them into cubes and the smaller the better as it may get too chewy if not diced small enough.
10) Serve!

Abalone Awesomeness in under 1 hour!

Did I mention already how much I love my pressure cooker? I'll say it again! I LOVE MY PRESSURE COOKER! Today I decided to try something new and pressure cook Abalone! If you don't know what it is, it's one of the best tasting mollusk you'll ever have. I consider Abalone to have a very similar strong natural flavor to Conch! This is a very simple recipe but full of flavor and it's very fool proof! It will not be chewy or mushy at all; just perfection. Here's what I did. Share if you like it! =)

Voila!

Ingredients:

Chicken Stock
Fresh Abalone
Cooking Oil (used Avocado oil)
Carrots
Green Onions

Instructions:

1)  Rinse the Abalone with running cold water

2) Shuck your fresh Abalone from the shell; simply treat it like scooping ice cream and you want to apply force on the shell as you scoop the Abalone.

Scoop it out!

Tada!

2) Heat your pressure cooker on HIGH  and splash cooking oil and chicken stock high enough such that it covers at least half of Abalone when it's submerged

3) Now dice some green onions and carrots when the broth has started boiling

4) Gently place the shucked Abalone foot side down and pressurize!

Abalone just chilling away

5) Set timer for 1 hour

6) Once 1 hour has elapsed, serve and enjoy!
