Grilled Beef Tongue with Paprika and Lime

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Beef Tongue with Paprika and Lime.

1. Step 1

   Start by placing the beef tongue in a large stockpot and covering it completely with water.

2. Step 2

   Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium heat, and let it simmer away for about two hours.

3. Step 3

   This slow cooking process helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.

4. Step 4

   Once the time is up, turn off the heat and let the tongue cool in the pot for an hour.

5. Step 5

   This step is crucial as it allows the meat to relax and makes peeling the skin much easier.

6. Step 6

   After it has cooled, carefully peel off the skin from the tongue and discard it—this is where the magic begins! Now, transfer the peeled tongue to a cutting board and slice it into half-inch thick pieces, revealing the beautiful texture inside.

7. Step 7

   In a mixing bowl, drizzle the tongue slices with a generous splash of olive oil and fresh lime juice, then sprinkle on some paprika, salt, and pepper to elevate the flavors.

8. Step 8

   Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat, and don’t forget to lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.

9. Step 9

   Once the grill is ready, place the seasoned tongue slices on it and grill for about six minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.

10. Step 10

    As they sizzle, the aroma will be irresistible! Taste and adjust the seasoning with a little more salt and pepper if needed.
