Beef tongue is rich in iron and protein, so nutritionists recommend it to children, pregnant women, athletes and people suffering from anemia. The tongue contains a full set of B vitamins and nicotinic acid. The only difficulty in cooking is the cooking time, but it is worth it. Beef tongue dishes are popular all over the world. For example, in Japan, beef tongue is fried in soy sauce and lemon juice. In the East, this dish is called "Gyutan" and is very popular.

Sliced fried beef tongue - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

While fresh beef tongue is recommended for best texture and flavor, you can use canned beef tongue in a pinch. However, since it's pre-cooked, skip Step 1 and simply slice and fry it as directed. The result may be slightly softer than fresh.
For a dairy-free option, use olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil instead of butter. These alternatives will still provide a nice crispness when frying the tongue slices.
Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For best quality when reheating, use a skillet over low heat to maintain texture.
Yes! You can boil and slice the tongue 1-2 days ahead, then quickly fry it just before serving. Keep the boiled slices refrigerated until ready to cook.
Try serving with chimichurri sauce, garlic aioli, or a spicy Korean gochujang sauce. It also pairs well with pickled vegetables or a fresh cucumber salad.
For a low-carb version, skip any bread or cracker accompaniments. Serve with leafy greens or roasted vegetables instead.
