Gyutan (BBQ Beef Tongue)
Report
Delicious grilled Gyutan or BBQ Beef Tongue is a popular appetizer at yakiniku (barbecue) restaurants in Japan. In this recipe, we marinate thinly sliced beef tongue in yuzu pepper for a sophisticated and spicy taste, then quickly grill it just until tender.

Ingredients
- ¼ lb beef tongue slices (you can buy it in a Japanese supermarket)
For the Seasonings
- 1 Tbsp yuzu kosho (Japanese citrus chili paste)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- ½ Tbsp sake
- ½ Tbsp toasted sesame oil
- ½ tsp yuzu juice (extract) (or lemon juice)
- freshly ground black pepper
- ⅛ onion (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients.
- Combine all the seasonings in a small bowl: 1 Tbsp yuzu kosho (Japanese citrus chili paste), 1 Tbsp soy sauce, ½ Tbsp sake, ½ Tbsp toasted sesame oil, ½ tsp yuzu juice (extract), and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk it together.
- Spread a bit of the seasoning sauce on the bottom of a shallow container like a baking dish.
- Spread ¼ lb beef tongue slices in a single layer (try not to overlap the slices). Then, pour the rest of the sauce on top of the meat.
- If you‘d like, you can grate ⅛ onion on top of the tongue slices. Marinate the beef tongue for at least 30 minutes. Do not over-marinate since the meat will become too salty.
- Start the grill, preferably over charcoal.
- Grill on high heat for 1–2 minutes.
- Flip the meat and cook for another 1–2 minutes. Serve immediately with a small amount of yuzu kosho on the side.
To Store
- You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
