Grilled Beef Tongue (Keto)
Beef tongue is simmered until tender, peeled, then sliced and grilled over high heat with sesame oil, scallion and garlic for a charred crust. Served with a soy-ginger dipping sauce and shredded daikon, this keto-adapted version skips rice and sugar in favour of low-carb vegetables and full-fat accompaniments.
