Instructions
 

  • Boil the beef tongue for at least 3 hours. Remove from water, rinse, and allow to cool enough to handle.
  • Peel off the skin (for those of you who enjoyed Anatomy and Physiology, this part is awesome!!!), cut the meat into long strips, and set it aside.
  • Place a skillet over medium heat, then heat the sesame oil and add the garlic and ginger.
  • When the garlic has browned slightly, whisk in the lemon juice, vinegar, coconut aminos, salt, and pepper.
  • When the mixture comes to a simmer, add the arrowroot powder and stir until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Add the tongue strips and stir to coat the meat with the sauce.
