Additional details

Looking to try something new? Our grass-fed beef tongue is a nutrient-dense cut that's prized for preparing traditional dishes across many cuisines. Once you taste it, you'll understand why.

A Tender, Flavorful Cut

Beef tongue has a rich, meaty flavor and buttery texture. Cooked low and slow, the high collagen content breaks down, creating melt-in-your-mouth tenderness similar to braised brisket.

What Is Beef Tongue (Lengua)?

Beef tongue is the tongue muscle from cattle, also called lengua in Spanish. It's lean muscle meat with a tough outer skin removed after cooking. Though less common in the American Midwest, it's a delicacy in many cultures.

From 100% Grass-Fed, Grass-Finished Cattle

Our beef tongue comes from cattle raised on regenerative pastures their entire lives: no grain finishing, ever. For organ meats, clean sourcing matters. Our cattle never receive hormones, antibiotics, or steroids while grazing on nutrient-dense grass and forage from healthy pastures.

Packed with Nutrients

Beef tongue nutrition surpasses typical muscle meats. It's rich in B vitamins (especially B12), zinc, iron, choline, healthy fats, and collagen. You'll also get calcium and phosphorus, nutrients that support energy, immunity, brain health, and joint support.

How to Cook Beef Tongue

The key is low and slow. Simmer or braise for 3-4 hours in a Dutch oven, or use a pressure cooker for 60-90 minutes. Once tender, let it cool slightly, then peel off the outer skin while still warm. Slice against the grain and you're ready to create amazing dishes. Explore our grass-fed beef collection for more versatile cuts.

Perfect for Traditional Dishes Worldwide

Make Mexican barbacoa or tacos de lengua. Try Jewish deli sandwiches, Korean soups, Filipino stews, or Japanese teriyaki bowls. Once you've mastered a basic beef tongue recipe, adapt it to any cuisine by changing seasonings.

Melt-in-Your-Mouth Texture

High collagen transforms during slow cooking, breaking down until the meat becomes fork-tender and buttery. You'll know it's done when a fork slides through easily—rich, satisfying, and surprisingly delicious.

Sustainable Nose-to-Tail Eating

Using the whole animal reduces waste while harvesting maximum nutrition. Adding organ meats like tongue to your family’s meals is traditional nose-to-tail eating that recognizes nutritional density in often-overlooked parts. Explore our full selection of grass-fed beef organ meats for more convenient ways to add diverse cuts to your dinner table.

Storage and Preparation Tips

Your beef tongue arrives frozen, and we guarantee it for up to one year in your freezer. Once defrosted, use it within three days. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight—never at room temperature. After cooking, peel the skin while still warm (about 15-20 minutes out). Slice against the grain for the most tender results.

Blake's Take on Beef Tongue
"Our 100% Grassfed Beef Tongue is a tender, flavorful cut with a rich, beefy taste that shines when slow-cooked or braised. It’s a leaner, more versatile organ meat that can be used in tacos, stews, or sandwiches for folks seeking true nose-to-tail animal eating." - Blake (the 1st son)

Common Questions About Our Beef Tongue

Beef tongue has a rich, meaty flavor with a tender, buttery texture. It's milder than liver and takes on seasonings beautifully. Perfect for tacos, stir-fries, and sandwiches.
Cook low and slow. Braise in liquid for 3-4 hours in a Dutch oven at 375°F, or use a pressure cooker for 60-90 minutes. When fork-tender, cool for 15-20 minutes, peel the skin, then slice.
Yes, remove the tough outer skin after cooking. Let it cool slightly (15-20 minutes), then the skin peels away easily. Don't wait too long, because it gets harder to remove as it cools.
Absolutely. It's nutrient-dense with high-quality protein, B vitamins (especially B12), zinc, iron, choline, healthy fats, and collagen. Our 100% grass-fed beef tongue contains no hormones, antibiotics, or GMOs.
Both are nutrient-dense organs, but different. Beef liver has a stronger, mineral flavor and soft texture that cooks quickly. Beef tongue is milder with firmer texture requiring hours of slow cooking. Liver offers more vitamin A and iron; tongue provides more fat, collagen, and B vitamins.
Try Mexican lengua tacos, Jewish deli sandwiches, Korean soups, teriyaki bowls, or Filipino braised dishes. Use it in stir-fries, fajitas, or serve braised with mashed potatoes. Once cooked and sliced, it works anywhere you'd use tender braised beef.
Your beef tongue arrives frozen, and we guarantee it for up to one year in your freezer. Once defrosted, use it within three days.
