Grilled Beef Tongue is a tender and flavorful dish that highlights the rich and savory taste of this unique cut of meat. Marinated in a blend of aromatic spices and grilled to perfection, it is a delightful addition to any BBQ feast.

Ingredients

• Beef tongue - 500 grams
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Shaoxing wine - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 tablespoon, grated
• Sugar - 1 teaspoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Black pepper - 1 teaspoon
• Chili flakes - 1/2 teaspoon
• Spring onions - 2, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. Start by cleaning the beef tongue under cold water, removing any excess fat and skin.
2. In a large pot, add the tongue and cover it with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 2 hours until tender.
3. Once cooked, remove the tongue from the pot, let it cool slightly, and peel off the outer skin.
4. In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, minced garlic, grated ginger, sugar, sesame oil, black pepper, and chili flakes to create the marinade.
5. Slice the cooked tongue into 1 cm thick pieces and add them to the marinade, ensuring all slices are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
6. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
7. Grill the marinated tongue slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they have nice grill marks and are heated through.
8. Remove from the grill and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped spring onions.
