Choosing the right ingredients

Beef liver is the most valuable of all types of offal in terms of the content of necessary substances , but it is very important to choose it correctly. Here are some rules that will help you choose a high-quality product:

• If possible, do not buy frozen liver. When frozen, it loses its useful characteristics, and its consumer characteristics deteriorate: bitterness occurs, it becomes hard and tasteless.
• The color of the freshest beef liver varies from red-brown to dark brown; the brighter and lighter the color, the younger the animal was .
• High-quality fresh liver must be smooth, without tears or damage. The snow-white film that covers it is the identity of this type of offal. It must be free of bubbles and swelling; if you see swelling, then the offal is most likely infected with parasites (dicrocoelia).

• In a section of the liver, bile ducts are visible, exposed like holes. In a healthy and high-quality product, they should be the same color as the liver; in case of disease, they are dense in structure and have a grayish color.
• The smell should be appropriate, slightly sweet , but not sour.
• Without freezing, the liver will not be stored for long, and to be sure that this is not a stale product, lightly press on the piece and release. If the dent space disappears within 20 seconds, then the offal is fresh. If the liver wrinkles like a sponge when pressed, then most likely it has already been frozen.

Tips and tricks for making

Even if you purchased a high-quality product, it is easy to spoil it if you prepare it incorrectly. Here are some secrets that will help you avoid mistakes in making beef liver:

• if the offal is lightly coated with mustard before production and left for half an hour, it will melt in your mouth when finished;
• It is better to salt it at the end of production - then it will not be “rubbery”;
• before production, you can soak the liver in milk or soda solution for 1 hour;
• be sure to remove the snow-white film;
• It is not recommended to cook liver for a long time; it is one of those products that the longer you cook, the tougher they become.

When cooking beef liver in a slow cooker, you can replace the broth with water and add spices to your own taste.
One of the most popular cooking options is beef liver with onions and carrots in sour cream, but I suggest you also try a recipe for chicken liver in sour cream. If you love offal dishes, then be sure to prepare beef stroganoff from the liver, and if you are expecting guests, you can amaze them with a hearty liver cake. Beef liver pate is a good breakfast dish or snack.

How to serve correctly and with what

Juicy and tender stewed liver is served hot, sprinkled with fresh herbs. Suitable side dishes include: mashed and simply boiled potatoes, buckwheat, rice, millet , bulgur and pasta. Together it turns out to be a very satisfying dish, which is best served for lunch or dinner.
