"Because beef tongue is such an overlooked cut of beef, I decided to cook it into one of the most popular dishes: tacos. Pressure cooker tongue turns out as tender as steak and costs about half as much. I didn't want to waste the delicious simmering liquid, so I just poured it into a blender to see what would happen. It was delicious, but the fat that had been released left the texture oily. By adding a little xanthan gum, I was able to transform this beef broth into something almost as thick and delicious as Mexican chili con queso, but without the cheese. The sauce is larger than the recipe calls for, so you can simply serve it with tortilla chips for dipping," shares Justin Warner.
