beef tongue or lengua de res as we call it in spanish it's an underrated cut of meat and most
0:06
people feel intimidated by it in today's video i'm sharing how to cook beef tongue using a pressure
0:13
cooker or an instant pot hello welcome back to my channel i am Nadia and this is Nachi food where i
0:20
teach you how to make latin inspired recipes at home beef tongue is delicious served in tacos
0:27
or in tomato sauce or even in a stew with a nice side of white rice you can enjoy it even as a
0:35
cold cut meat for a sandwich my favorite way of cooking beef tongue is using a pressure cooker
0:43
it's the short shortest amount of time of cooking another way of cooking it is also using a slow
0:50
cooker that's the way i learned from my mom she normally prepare it before going to bed
0:58
so so she add all the ingredients into the slow cooker and cover it and in the morning we had a
1:05
really tender cut of meat i will link in the description below the instructions on how to
1:13
make it in the slow cooker as well now the first thing you are going to do is prepare your beef done for cooking So we going to remove it from its casing or from its packaging and i run it under cold water and i use a vegetable brush to scrub it up and i wash it as many times
1:37
as the water runs clear and there's no slimy residue to the touch once that you can use a
1:44
paring knife to remove any excess fat that you see around it. Normally at the base of the tongue you
1:52
will see some yellowish parts that is the grease or the fat and you can remove it. Now once we have
2:00
all our beef tongue cleaned up and ready let's add everything to our pressure cooker. Our beef tongue
2:08
an onion quarter, a carrot, roughly chopped garlic cloves, culantre leaves, you can use any
2:16
aromatic you have on hand you can use parsley, you can use cilantro, you can use bay leaves
2:22
you can also add some celery stalks into it there as well. Now let's add the water and make sure
2:30
that it covers all the beef tones so they are completely submerged underwater
2:35
Worcestershire sauce I know I butchered it as always but you know what I mean
2:42
this sauce salt and black pepper corns hold make sure your sealing ring is on your instant pot cover a little tip here when i first bought my instant pot i got two ceiling rings because i wanted also
2:57
to make desserts in it so i have one for sweet dishes and one for savory dish if you'd like to
3:03
try my mini cheesecake recipe click the link in the description box below once you cover the instant
3:09
pot move the bulb to the ceiling position and select the pressure cook option and set the timer
3:15
to 45 minutes if you have a bigger beef tongue i will recommend that you take it a little bit longer
3:25
so i use like 15 minutes for each pound of meat so once the time is up letting the pot release the
3:35
pressure naturally for about 10 minutes roughly and then quick release any remaining pressure
3:41
so to verify that your beef tongue is cooked use a fork or a knife and prick it and it should have
3:50
little to no resistance so it should go in and out easily in case there is still some pieces that are
3:58
a little tough you can cook it for 10 more minutes at high pressure as well
4:03
once you have verified that they are cooked correctly let remove them from the instant pot and let it cool for around 10 minutes give or take so there that they are cool to the touch and we are going now to remove the skin just peels like really easily now that you have it
4:22
tender and the skin peel you are going to dice it up or chop it up so if you want to like for
4:28
example for a sandwich or to make like lengua guisada or beef stew you can just cut it lengthwise
4:35
If you want tacos, you can dice it up or little strips or even just shred it
4:41
So for tacos, you can add onions, a little bit cilantro, and if you have green sauce or salsa verde, add it on top over a corn tortilla
4:51
Perfect. You can make it in tomato sauce. You can add a mushroom sauce
4:58
You can use it just like this in sandwiches. So if you want to know how to make it as a stew
