Deeply nourishing. Exceptionally tender. A timeless classic.
Beef tongue—lengua—is one of the most prized cuts in traditional cuisines across Latin America, celebrated for its rich flavor, silky texture, and unmatched nourishment.
Carter Country Meats’ grass-fed Beef Tongue comes from our Wyoming-raised, double-aged cattle, raised entirely on open Big Horn Mountain rangeland. When cooked properly, tongue transforms into an incredibly tender, sliceable cut with a flavor often compared to slow-roasted beef, but richer and more satisfying.
Naturally high in healthy fats, iron, zinc, choline, and vitamin B12, beef tongue has long been valued as a deeply nourishing food, particularly in traditional diets focused on recovery, strength, and whole-animal nutrition. This is a cut that reflects our whole-animal philosophy—honoring every part of the animal and the cultures that perfected how to prepare it.
Preparation is simple and forgiving:
Simmer gently until tender, peel, then slice or shred. Perfect for Tacos de Lengua, soups, stews, or quick sears in a hot pan. The result is rich, comforting, and deeply beefy—never gamey.
Why customers love it:
100% grass-fed & finished
Exceptionally tender when slow-simmered
Rich, beef-forward flavor similar to roast beef
Nutrient-dense, traditional cut
Ideal for tacos, soups, and stir-fries
This is honest, ancestral beef—rooted in tradition and elevated by how we raise our cattle.
