Add: Peel the onion and cut it into quarters. Add beef tongue, quartered onions, bay leaves, peppercorns, and salt to the Instant Pot inner pot. Pour enough water to cover the beef tongue and the rest of the ingredients.
Cook: Place the inner pot in the Instant Pot, cover, and set the safety valve to sealing position. Cook on manual for 90 minutes. Then allow natural pressure release until the safety pin is down.
Rest: When safe to open the Instant Pot, carefully remove beef tongue and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet or platter. Let the cow tongue rest for a 5-10 minutes.
Peel: Using a pair of tongs, carefully pull away the skin, starting with the base of the tongue and working your way towards the tip. The skin should release easily from the meat but it may help to use a paring knife if you come across some parts that are difficult.
Store: Discard the skin from the cleaned beef tongue. You can discard the liquid the tongue was cooked in or use it in recipes to replace broth. When completely cooled, transfer beef tongue to an airtight container.
