Organic Ox Tongue
The ideal cut for real nose-to-tail eaters
If you've only ever seen tongue in its sliced form on the cold meat counter, a whole one might be a little bit intimidating. But persevere: you'll definitely be very pleasantly surprised. Ox tongue is a frugal cut, but that's not its only merit – it's also divinely tender with a yielding, open texture and delicate flavour. Perfect for cold cuts (of which you'll get a lot from one tongue) it's a favourite ingredient in many Asian cuisines.
At The Organic Butchery, we rear our animals to the highest welfare standards, reflected in the quality of our meat; our cattle are able to roam in large fields, grazing on fresh grass for as long as the weather annually permits - slowly maturing, as nature intended.
Minimum Shelf Life: 7 Days
Keen to try offal? Organic beef oxtail or organic ox cheeks are the perfect introduction.

As with most offal, tongue is a cut about which people can be squeamish and we understand why. At the same time, we're firm advocates of the philosophy of eating everything we can from a carcass, not just the prime cuts and bits that look neat. At The Organic Butchery, the highest level of animal welfare is critical to our organic livestock system so every piece of meat they produce is the very best quality, including the inexpensive cuts.
Please note, as this is a whole natural product the exact weight may vary depending on the size of the animal.

To cook your organic ox tongue as a joint, place it in a large casserole with enough beef stock to cover it. Add carrots, shallots, celery, garlic and herbs with a pinch of seasoning. Cook in a low oven for three to four hours. When the tongue is tender, remove from the stock and leave to cool briefly before peeling off the outer layer of tough skin. Slice thickly and serve with a rich gravy made from the stock. If you want to use your ox tongue as cold meat it can be gently brined before poaching to give it a longer shelf life.
