  • Cut the beef into portions about 3/4 inch (1.5–2 cm) wide. Set each piece on a board and pound it with a meat mallet until it's thinner than you'd want for a steak. Rub the resulting "tongues" all over with salt and pepper. Melt the lard (or any other fat or oil) in a skillet and fry the meat until it develops a golden-brown crust — that crust is your sign the langet is done. Spoon the pan juices and melted butter over the meat, and serve with your favorite side. A good meat sauce works well here.
  • Rinse the meat and be sure to pat it dry with a paper towel — extra moisture keeps it from searing and it'll steam instead of frying.
  • For this recipe, use fresh meat rather than frozen if you can, or the finished dish may turn out dry.
  • You can swap the beef for any other meat you prefer, but keep in mind the cooking time, flavor, and calorie count will change. Pork and lamb are usually fattier than beef, while chicken breast or turkey are leaner. Cooking time depends not just on the type of meat but also on the cut and whether the animal was young or old.
  • Here's an easy way to tell if the fat in the pan is hot enough: dip in a wooden spatula. If bubbles gather around it, you're ready to start frying.
