When cooked correctly, beef tongue is a flavorful and tender cut. It requires a “low and slow” cooking method such as braising or stewing. However, once stewed, tongue can be finished on the grill or pan seared for a crispy exterior and tender interior. Tacos de lengua, or beef tongue tacos, are a popular dish in Mexican cuisine. The tongue is braised or stewed until tender, and then thinly sliced and fried, or shredded and used for the taco filling.
Our beef is 100% grass fed and finished. Our cattle herd is made up of a variety of heritage cattle breeds, including Hereford, Black Angus, Devon, and Dexter. From May to November, we intensively manage our herd in a rotational grazing system across our pastures. This allows the animals to have access to the best quality grasses, while fertilizing our fields with manure and providing an adequate rest period for plant regrowth. During the winter months, the herd is brought into the barn where they are fed hay and have access to the outdoor barnyard at all times.
