How to Cook Beef Liver and Why It's Worth Trying

You know, folks, it's funny how life swings back to our childhood, often in ways we least expect, like liver. As a kid, I would grimace at the very thought of it. But who knew that, decades later, I'd be diving into the world of cooking beef liver and embracing it for all its goodness? That's the beauty of life, my friends. It's as unpredictable as a rousing round of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

How to Cook Beef Liver: My Research Journey

Now, before we get into why the carnivore diet has me revisiting this childhood nemesis, let's talk about how to cook beef liver. Because cooking organ meat can seem daunting, right? But here's the good news: I've done the research for you. And trust me when I say it's simpler than you'd think.

From the many culinary experiments I've seen and read about (and some I've yet to try!), the key to a tasty liver dish is not overcooking it. Overcooking can lead to a tough, dry piece of meat - not the most appealing, right?

So, here's a straightforward approach:

1. First, clean your liver well, then pat it dry.
2. Heat some animal fat in a pan over medium heat. You can use fat, butter, or even bacon grease.
3. Add the liver slices and cook them on each side for 2-3 minutes. Remember, we don't want to overcook it!
4. Season as desired. Some folks swear by simple salt and pepper, while others go gourmet with fresh herbs and caramelized onions.
5. Serve it up! Maybe with some crispy bacon on the side?

Give this method a whirl, and let me know what you think.

Why the Carnivore Diet?

But why did I start this beef liver business? What got me into the carnivore diet? Well, I guess it all started with my fascination with steak—perfectly cooked in an air fryer if you're curious. That's right. Air fryer, folks. Who knew that this nifty little gadget could take a slab of meat and transform it into an absolute culinary delight?

But beyond the mouth-watering steaks, the carnivore diet seemed a tangible way to cut out carbs, which I've discovered makes me feel surprisingly good. As I've said in a previous blog post, "A Meat-Lover's Smorgasbord of Advice", it's a whole new world when you break free from the shackles of green propaganda and starchy distractions.

Carnivore Consequences

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows, you know? There are those unexpected consequences of the carnivore diet. You know, the kind that are a bit, well... shitty? Yeah, let's say that some gastrointestinal acrobatics ensued. Nothing to write home about, but still worth mentioning.

Discovering the Nutritiousness of Organ Meats

And amidst all this, one surprising discovery was the treasure trove of nutrition in organ meats, like our friend, the liver. Packed with vital nutrients like Vitamin A, iron, and plenty of B vitamins, the liver's a powerhouse in a small, meaty package.

Looking Ahead: Experiments with the Carnivore Diet

So, where do we go from here? Well, I'll keep exploring the carnivore diet, tweaking things here and there, and discovering new flavours (even if they take me back to my childhood). Stick around because there's a whole world of carnivorous cooking to discover.
