Directions

  • If there is any excess fat on the beef tongue, I like to trim it away before cooking.
  • Place the beef in the bottom of a large heavy dutch oven-style pot or a roasting pan. Add all of the remaining ingredients to the pan with beef.
  • Cover with foil, then lid. Braise in preheated 375 degree oven for 5 1/2-6 hours
