Ox Tongue Bacon?or ?

Titch · Jul 19, 2018

My Cambodian Butcher Skinned some tongue for me, my plan was to make Taco.
But, as I have some Full beef shank for that, I think maybe something else would be good to play with.
Anyone ever made Beef bacon out of it?
hey FatBack, you out There?
Anyone have any thoughts?
I love a bit of Tongue.

I've made lean corned beef out of beef tongue, you just can't overcook it or it gets chewy.

Never tried beef bacon from the tongue, only from the naval plates.
To me, the thing that makes beef bacon so tasty is the fat.

Not much fat there. I like uncured tongue braised - tender as tenderloin, tasty as chuck (or maybe even short ribs).

I could see corning it, or doing pastrami, I don't think it would make very good bacon. IMO, make lengua tacos, and get some chuck or brisket to cure.

I make pastrami out of Canada goose breast, can't get leaner then that. After the cure, I take it to 140-145 degrees F, It's not really pastrami, or bacon, but awful good....
