Smoked Corned Beef Tongue

Beef tongue is one of my favorite meats; so why not turn it into one of my other favorites: corned beef. The process is the exact same when brining a regular brisket. The tongue will take less time in a smoker than a brisket; about 3 hours. After the tongue is smoked, you’ll need to either slow cook it in the oven or use an Instant Pot to peel off the outer skin; about 1 hour per lb. in the oven or 15 minutes per lb in the pressure cooker. Once the tongues are cooked, the skin should peel right off. Thinly slice and use for sandwiches.
