Ingredients

• 1 beef tongue
• 2 cans dark beer
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
• 1 tablespoon white peppercorns
• 1 tablespoon dried bay leaves
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 star anise
• ½ cup barbecue sauce
• ½ cup mango sauce
• Salt, to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, combine the dark beer, minced garlic, black and white peppercorns, bay leaves, grated ginger, and star anise. Bring to a boil.

2. Cook the Beef Tongue: Add the beef tongue to the pot and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 2 hours or until the tongue is tender.

3. Cool and Chill: Remove the tongue from the pot and allow it to cool naturally. Once cool, wrap it and place it in the refrigerator overnight.

4. Clean the Tongue: After chilling, remove the tongue from the refrigerator. Peel off the outer skin and any fat, discarding it.

5. Prepare the Glaze: In a bowl, mix the barbecue sauce and mango sauce until well combined.

6. Glaze the Tongue: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the cleaned tongue generously with the glaze, then sprinkle with ground black, red, and white pepper.

7. Bake: Place the tongue on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour, basting occasionally with more glaze.

8. Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Slice and serve warm, garnished with additional glaze if desired.
