Beef Kidney

Beef Kidney – Sourced from our 100% grass-fed Hereford cross cattle, beef kidney is a traditional, nutrient-dense cut valued for its richness and versatility in slow-cooked and classic preparations. With a firm texture and deep, mineral-forward character, kidney has long been used in hearty dishes where careful preparation and gentle cooking bring out its best qualities. This is a foundational cut for cooks interested in whole-animal eating and time-tested food traditions.

Nutritional Highlights:

Beef kidney is especially rich in protein, iron, zinc, selenium, and B vitamins, including B12. As an organ meat, it offers a concentrated source of nutrients that support traditional, whole-food diets.

Cooking Tips:

• Prep Matters: Soak kidney briefly in cold water or milk, then rinse well to mellow its flavor.
• Low and Slow: Gentle cooking methods like braising or stewing produce the best texture.
• Slice Evenly: Trim the core and slice into uniform pieces so it cooks evenly.

Recipe Ideas:

1. Classic Steak and Kidney – Slow-braised with onions and gravy, served over mashed potatoes or bread.

2. Kidney Stew – Simmered with root vegetables, herbs, and broth for a hearty, traditional dish.

3. Kidney and Onion Skillet – Sliced thin, gently cooked with onions and served simply.

4. Mixed Offal Stew – Combine kidney with heart or stew meat for a deeply nourishing meal.
