Beef Kidney

Description

Our grass-fed beef kidney comes from cattle raised on pasture here in Central Virginia. Kidney might not be the first cut most folks think of, but if you’re looking to add more nutrient-dense organ meats to your diet, this is a powerhouse.

Beef kidney is one of the most nutrient-rich foods you can eat. We’re talking serious levels of B vitamins (especially B12), iron, selenium, and other minerals that are hard to get in regular muscle meats. Traditional cultures around the world have prized organ meats like kidney for good reason—they knew these were the most nutritious parts of the animal.

Why Our Beef Kidney is Different:

Our cattle graze on pasture their entire lives, eating grass instead of grain. That matters even more with organ meats, since the organs are where nutrients get concentrated. Clean pasture, no antibiotics, no weird chemicals—just cattle living the way they’re meant to live. The result is organ meat you can feel good about feeding your family.

How to Use Beef Kidney:

• Steak and Kidney Pie: A British classic that makes kidney approachable and delicious
• Grilled or Pan-Fried: Slice thin, soak in milk to mellow the flavor, then cook quickly over high heat
• Kidney Stew: Slow-cooked with beef, vegetables, and rich gravy
• Ground into Burgers: Mix small amounts into ground beef for a nutrient boost without strong flavor
• For Pets: Many raw feeders include kidney as part of a balanced diet for dogs and cats

Preparation Tip:

Kidney has a distinctive flavor that some folks love and others need to ease into. Soaking sliced kidney in milk or lightly salted water for an hour before cooking can mellow the taste. Remove the white membrane and any fatty core before cooking.
