Step 1
In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp mirin, and 1 tbsp sugar until dissolved. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the 0.5 lb beef tongue slices in a single layer and sear until browned, about 1-2 minutes per side.
Step 3
Pour the soy-mirin mixture over the beef and toss to coat. Cook until the sauce thickens and glazes the meat, about 1-2 minutes.
