Tongue

Tongue of Yak becomes silky after long simmer and peeling. Slice for sandwiches and cold platters. Cook yak tongue to temperature when thickness varies, rest before carving, and add fat or sauce if lean. Grilling, stewing, and dried meat show the cut’s strengths. Match heat to collagen—fast sear for tender muscle, long moist heat for hard-working joints.
