Beef kidney is a versatile organ meat. Each kidney contains high levels of selenium, vitamin B12, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s can promote brain health, help with depression, and fight inflammation - they are a crucial nutrient for our overall health.
Though you may not have seen beef kidney before, it’s nothing to be afraid of. The most important step in cooking kidney is pre soaking it in water with a bit of vinegar or lemon juice. This helps mellow the flavor and promote a more tender texture.
After the kidney soaks you can pan fry it, add it to a beef stew, or cook it into a classic British steak and kidney pie.
