How to Grill Beef Liver Egyptain

September 5, 2021 By

Grilled beef liver is nutritious and easy to prepare. The best part of this recipe is the spicy and flavourful marinade, based on the popular Peruvian Anticucho sauce. I prefer calf liver for the sweeter taste and softer texture over beef liver, but you can use this recipe to cook either calf liver or beef liver.

The marinade is simply amazing. Aside from liver, you can use the marinade on chicken and steak too. Traditionally, this marinade is frequently used on beef or veal hearts in Peruvian cuisine.

Grilled Beef (Calf) Liver Ingredients

• Beef liver or calf liver (I used calf liver, because they are tenderer and sweeter)
• Fresh birds eye chilis
• Garlic
• Paprika
• Ground cumin
• Avocado oil
• Sea salt
• Ground black pepper
• Red wine vinegar
• Fresh parsley

Cooking Tips

This is an extremely easy recipe to make. All you need to do is to mix all the ingredients together, marinate and then grill. Here are some tips for achieving the best results.

• I cut the liver into strips. This is to increase the surface area of the liver touching the marinade. You can cut the liver into even smaller chunks if you like to cover them entirely in the marinade.
• I put cut-up liver on skewers to prevent them from falling into the grill. Alternatively, you can grill the liver directly on the BBQ in whole pieces without the skewers too.
• Take care not to overcook the liver. You want the liver to be still a little pink on the inside. I grill mine over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.

Is Beef Liver Healthy?

Yes. Beef liver is a great source of protein, iron, vitamin A, and B vitamins. Liver is a nutrient-dense superfood that contains higher levels of many nutrients than you can find in the muscle meat.

If you don't cook liver often, it's worthwhile to use a high quality liver supplement. My discount code "YANG10" will give you 10% off your entire purchase at Perfect Supplements.

Organ meats are consumed in traditional cultures as delicacies and the most valuable parts of the animals. I have many organ recipes on the blog.
