Yorkshire Origin

Olive-Fed Feed

Frozen Delivered

Description

Our Freedown Hills products are fed for 14 months on grass before being moved onto a grain ration for a further 7 months. For the last four months, a caramelised olive feed is combined with the grain, and it is this that works to develop a unique light umami taste profile. Therefore, if you love beef tongue, there is no better tongue than this one.

Depending on your planned cooking method, removing the skin and further preparation might be required. Marinated or slow-braised beef tongue is a classic Eastern European dish. For Asian style dishes, the tip of the tongue is good for stewing, the middle can be thinly sliced and fried and the end can be cooked as steak.

Tongue meat is high in calories and fatty acids, as well as zinc, iron, choline, and vitamin B12.

Cooking Instructions

Wagyu Beef Tongue - Simmer and Peel

±1.3kg whole, skin on. Serves 6 to 8. Defrost 20–22 hours. Allow 4 hours to cook.

1. Defrost
Move the pack from freezer to fridge. Leave it in the vacuum pack, on a tray. Allow 20 to 22 hours. Cook within 24 hours of defrosting. Do not refreeze.

2. Rinse
Unwrap and rinse the tongue under cold running water. Pat it dry. The skin stays on. It protects the meat through the long cook.

3. Simmer
Put the tongue in a deep pot and cover it with water by 5cm. Add a halved onion, a carrot, two bay leaves, a teaspoon of peppercorns and a good pinch of salt. Bring it to a bare simmer. Never let it boil.

4. Cook until tender
3 to 3½ hours for a tongue this size. It is ready when a skewer slides into the thickest part with no resistance. Undercooked tongue will not peel.

5. Peel while it is hot
This is the step that decides the result. Lift the tongue out and leave it 5 minutes, just until you can handle it. Slit the skin along its length with a small knife and pull it away. It should come off in sheets. Once the tongue cools the skin sets hard and will not come off.

6. Trim
Turn it over and trim the gristle, small bones and glands at the root end. Keep the smooth middle and the tip.

Method A - Serve hot (braised, the classic treatment)

7. Slice across at 1cm, working from the tip back. The texture is finest at the tip and richest towards the root.

8. Sear the slices in a hot pan with a little neutral oil, 30 seconds a side, for crisp edges. Or serve them straight from the pot.

9. Something sharp cuts the richness. Salsa verde, horseradish cream, mustard, or a soy and ginger dressing.

Method B - Press, chill and grill (gyutan style, or cold as charcuterie)

7. Wrap the peeled tongue tightly into a firm cylinder and chill overnight. It slices far more cleanly cold.

8. Slice at 3 to 5mm for grilling, or at 2mm to serve cold as charcuterie.

9. Grill the thin slices over a high heat, 30 to 60 seconds a side, until the edges catch. Finish with lemon and salt, or a yakiniku sauce.

Keep the poaching liquid. Strain it and hold it back. It makes an excellent base for a ramen broth or an onion soup.

Born & Raised in Yorkshire

Scurf Dyke Farm sits on the south-eastern edge of the Yorkshire Wolds, a few miles from the North Sea. This is where our British Freedown Hills F1 Wagyu are raised, on lush pasture, then slowly transitioned onto farm-grown grains, cereals, and locally sourced olive pieces. Rolling hills, clean air, and unhurried rearing. Quintessentially British, unmistakably Wagyu.

Wagyu Tongue

Absolutely fantastic service, I would give 10 stars if I could! My meat was immaculately packaged, it was wrapped in a plastic wool type packaging, lots of big ice blocks and protective paper and my meat arrived still frozen and fresh which is fantastic. The quality of the wagyu was absolutely amazing, so well cut and in a clean perfect state. This company goes above and beyond to make sure your meats get to you in perfect condition. I would highly recommend Meat Me At Home, you will not be disappointed ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Well packed individually. Good practice. More than 50% of tongue can grill after trimming. A usual one from the market around 1/3 are usable. Nice deal.
