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!
