  • 1/2 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, or more to taste
  • 1 bay leaf
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
1
Begin by placing the beef tongue, sliced onion, minced garlic, and a bay leaf in a slow cooker.
2
Generously sprinkle salt over the beef mixture to enhance its flavor.
3
Add sufficient water to cover the entire beef tongue, ensuring it's fully submerged in liquid.
4
Place the slow cooker on Low setting and let it cook for 8 hours, allowing the beef to become tender.
5
Transfer the cooked beef tongue from the slow cooker to a clean work surface and let it cool down slightly.
6
Carefully remove the outer layer of skin from the beef tongue, taking care not to tear it.
7
Remove the rough end of the beef tongue, making it easier to slice.
8
Cut the cooled beef tongue into bite-sized pieces, ready for further preparation.

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat.
