👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Place the beef tongue in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and boil for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse.
⏱️ 10 minutes
2
In the same pot (or a pressure cooker), place the tongue back. Add enough water to cover, add a chopped onion, garlic cloves, and a bay leaf (optional). Cook until the tongue is very tender, about 2-3 hours on the stovetop or 45 minutes in a pressure cooker.
⏱️ 2-3 hours
3
Once tender, remove the tongue from the pot and let it cool slightly. Peel off the thick outer skin. Dice the tongue into bite-sized pieces.
💡 전문가 팁: The skin should peel off easily when the tongue is still warm.
4
In a separate large pot or Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add achiote paste and stir until dissolved.
⏱️ 2 minutes
5
Add chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 7-10 minutes.
6
Stir in minced garlic, pureed tomatoes, cumin, and oregano. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7
Add the diced beef tongue, beer, and 1 cup of the reserved tongue cooking liquid (or beef broth). Bring to a simmer.
💡 전문가 팁: You can add more liquid if needed to reach desired consistency.
8
Cover and simmer gently for at least 1 hour, or until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded. Stir in most of the chopped cilantro during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
⏱️ 1 hour
9
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in remaining cilantro just before serving.
10
Serve hot, typically with white rice, avocado slices, and a side of pickled red onions.
