Step 1

Rinse the beef tripe thoroughly under cold water. Place it in a large pot, cover with water, and add the vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

Drain and rinse the tripe again. Cut it into small bite-sized strips or squares and set aside.

Season the mixture with Creole seasoning, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Add the bay leaf.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the prepared tripe. Stir to coat the tripe in the sauce.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the tripe is tender and the sauce has thickened.

Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
