Beef liver is incredibly nourishing. It is the most nutrient dense organ meat, surpassing many fruits and vegetables in vitamin and mineral content. Liver is also very affordable, even when sourced from grass-fed and finished beef animals. Unfortunately, the taste and texture can be very pronounced (and not in a good way!) when improperly prepared, giving the organ cut a poor reputation and deterring many cooks from experimenting with it in the kitchen. However, the following recipes give you easily implemented instructions, ingredients, and guidelines to transform the liver in your freezer into a delicious and nutritious meal.
