Liver, Beef

Beef liver is rich in protein and iron, but like many other organ meats, it is high in cholesterol, so it should not be consumed often. It is usually pan-fried with onions and has a rich, intense flavor. It is available in most well stocked supermarkets or from a butcher or specialty meat market. It is highly perishable, so it should be frozen if it is not cooked within 24 hours of purchase.
