Ingredients:

• 500 grams beef tongue
• 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 1 onion, finely sliced
• 5 cm cinnamon stick
• 2 cloves
• Worcestershire sauce (to taste)
• Sweet soy sauce (kecap manis, to taste)
• Tomato ketchup (to taste)
• Salt (to taste)
• Ground black pepper (to taste)
• Ground nutmeg (to taste)
• Sugar (to taste)
• 1.5 liters water (for boiling the beef tongue)
• Cooking oil or margarine (as needed)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef Tongue:
   Begin by pressure-cooking the beef tongue in 1.5 liters of water for about 20 minutes, or until tender. Once cooked, remove the tongue and let it cool slightly. Cut the beef tongue into bite-sized cubes and set aside.

2. Sauté Aromatics:
   In a large pan or skillet, heat a small amount of cooking oil or margarine over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic, onion, cinnamon stick, and cloves. Sauté until the mixture becomes aromatic and the onions turn golden brown.

3. Cook the Beef Tongue:
   Add the cubed beef tongue to the pan with the sautéed aromatics. Stir well to combine and ensure the beef tongue is evenly coated with the aromatic mixture.

4. Add Seasonings:
   Gradually add a small amount of the beef broth (from boiling the tongue) to the pan. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, sweet soy sauce, tomato ketchup, ground black pepper, ground nutmeg, salt, and sugar to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.

5. Simmer:
   Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld together. Ensure that the beef tongue is tender and has absorbed the flavors of the sauce.

6. Serve:
   Once the beef tongue is tender and the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove from heat. Serve the Beef Tongue in English Sauce hot with steamed rice or your favorite side dishes.
