Mate this was the 3rd butchers place I've been to in my town and all of their meat has been tasteless crap. I'm starting to think my town in general is the problem.
Supermarkets have killed local butchers with their cheap meat (regardless of flavour) and I am guilty of their demise also. I do buy cheap meat from supermarkets for general stuff.
On rare occasions I do travel to a good butcher to get stuff but it's a 26 Mile round trip for me and I do pay premium for it but it's worth it!
In order to survive, many butchers have found a way to tap into the fast grown, high profit farming (like supermarkets use) in order to survive, can't blame them for trying but they will inevitably fail in costings and overheads.
It's a shame but we have nobody to blame but ourselves for the loss of decent meat. Myself included.
At this point you basically have to buy half a cow directly from a small cattle ranch and get it processed by a butcher. It's actually a pretty economical way to buy meat but you need a big freezer and some friends to go in on it with you since we're talking 300-400lb.
Accompaniments to liver are often as important as the meat itself. I discourage doing things like soaking it in milk to get rid of it's flavor, but instead pairing it with sweet and charred items. Grilled fruits, caramelized onions, compotes, charred onion rings (cooked through), etc. It goes well with a combination of sweet and bitterness.
Get a bowl. Fill the bowl with buttermilk. Toss the liver into the bowl of buttermilk and 6 in the morning and then toss back into the fridge. Wait at least 12 hours. Get egg and flour, batter the liver. Fry in skillet with big pieces of sweet yellow onions. Make gravy our of bacon grease/lard.
slow, very slow cooking with a lot of tomato. You first start with onions and bits of garlic, then you add the tomato and finally the liver, at first it will look and smell really unpleasant but, give it 1 hours aprox. and will taste delicious.
minced and then put into a stew.
but if you ain't got time for that, grill.
With bacon and onions.
I don't know man
Wa-la
>liver is bland
not the word I would use
Interesting method, I've heard of this method for cooking steaks. But is 2 minutes really long enough to cook it tho?
Is fresh meat a scam? Whenever I buy meat from butchers I expect it to taste better than supermarket meat but it ends up being bland and tasteless.
I DGAF I'm trying to learn to cook liver bc it's cheap.
You have a crap butcher, seriously mate - avoid and find another butcher.
Meat from a real butcher does cost more but it (should) be better sourced from a smaller producer.

this. but cut the liver into 1/3" slices. The precise measurement is crucial, even a little deviation will have tremendous effects on the flavor.
youre eating it for nutrition and not taste. i quickly chew it and wash it down with chocolate milk.
Marinate it in milk
