If you can afford that and get it at the right time, that's the best you can do. Less you slaughter the animal yourself which isn't so much fun.

The whole organic thing I think is overboard. Is there a problem with continual injection of antibiotics and other things into an animal over the entirety of it's life? Yes, of course, and I understand arguments against that practice even though it can help increase yields. But if the animal is sick, then give it some damned antibiotics. It's not bad to use them to actually fight illness, but it can't be an "organic" cow if you do.

Besides "organic" is not sustainable, you cannot produce the yield necessary to continue to provide affordable meat to the populace.

Not everyone can eat "organic" meat. (God I hate that movement...took a good idea and made it completely irrational). And it doesn't matter organic or not since there are plenty of toxins created in the body which have to be filtered out, that's why there's a liver in the first place. If being "organic" meant that there was nothing in the blood which needed to be filtered, we wouldn't have evolved a liver in the first place.

Yes, the liver filters the toxins. It doesn't store them. You're not going to be ingesting a bunch of toxins by eating liver. The only possible toxins you could ingest would be from the drugs given to a cow. But that goes for all of the meat from a drugged cow.

When I was younger I liked my steak well done, heck I still do.But now I prefer it medium rare and sometimes rare. I like my steak with salt and pepper or maybe some seasoning salt and cooked on the barbecue grill.

If cook it in a pan a like to make a little bourbon shallot sauce which I saw on this one food show(most of what they show seems totally bizarre but once in a while they show something good).

Pan-Seared Steaks with Bourbon-Shallot Sauce: Diary of a Foodie : gourmet.com.

Pan-Seared Steaks with Bourbon-Shallot Sauce

* (1-inch-thick) boneless rib-eye steaks (8 to 10 oz each)
* 3/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
* 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
* 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots (2 large)
* 1/2 cup bourbon
* 1 cup reduced-sodium beef broth (8 fl oz)
* 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh sage
* 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
* 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Pat steaks dry and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sear steaks in 2 batches, turning over once, until well browned on both sides, about 10 minutes total per batch for medium-rare. Transfer steaks as cooked to a platter.
*
Add shallots to fat in skillet and sauté over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and add bourbon, then carefully ignite with kitchen match. Let flames burn out, then boil, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until bourbon is reduced to a glaze, 1 to 2 minutes. Add broth and boil until liquid is reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes.
*
Remove from heat and whisk in sage and mustard. Whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until incorporated. Stir in any meat juices accumulated on platter and salt and pepper to taste.
*
Slice steaks and serve with sauce.

What about liver from an animal that has eaten nothing all its life except fine beer. That's GOTTA be tasty, right?

The closest would probably be a kobe or Wagyū beef liver.I am not sure that is something you can order online.

Here is a picture of Wagyū beef liver sashimi.I have to wonder if eating it cooked would be a waste of your money.

People and the liver....it's got to stop! We don't need to eat that stuff anymore, there are multivitamins. Do the job great. You don't want to eat the filter of an animal...it's got all sorts of nasties in it. Organ meat...it's not what's for dinner!

Your nutrition, including vitamins and minerals, should primarily be coming from your food. Your body absorbs them the best that way. Vitamins aren't as effective, and actually the metals in them (like iron) can be hard on your liver to process.

If you are eating the liver of an animal who was healthy before it died, then there will be no "nasties" in it. That's probably one of the biggest misnomers about eating liver. It is probably one of the healthiest meats you can eat to replenish your body, although it should be eaten only occasionally because of how rich it is.

Everyone eats organ meat the world over. There's nothing wrong with it and it shouldn't be phased out of people's diets. We live in the lap of luxury and want choice cuts of meat while throwing the rest of the animal away. It's a shameful practice that has nothing to do with a move away from primitiveness, but a spoiled attitude.

Many vitamins are not properly designed for nutritional absorption. However, there are those which are, and those are the ones to take. Everyone else in the world can eat organ meat, that's fine. We live in a place where we have enough technology and knowledge to supplement our diets with proper vitamins and thus we can cut the organ meats out. Leave it for the dog and cat food (it's not thrown away). Organ meat is fine when that's all you got, but once you get to a certain level you don't need it anymore. We're at that level.

And thus we should righteously crusade against the evils and demonic powers of organ meats in all their satanic forms! Cursed meats from beyond the river, they shall taste sweet justice as the light is cast upon them and they receive their final judgment!

Your logic is flawed. The type of meat that is eaten has nothing to do with whether or not a society is advanced or not. People still eat liver and other organ meats all the time. People who are seriously ill can benefit from organ meats the most as they are the most rich and replenishing. You don't have to be some rural peasant in a developing nation to eat organ meat; I'm a doctor and I eat organ meat. Many organ meats are far more nutrient-dense than steak.

I think your views on vitamin use could use some updating. Vitamins are not meant to replace food-sourced nutrients. They are meant to supplement only, especially if you have a deficiency. Thus if you are lacking in B vitamins and iron, you would be better off eating liver than taking those in pill form. Iron in vitamins is not heme-iron so most of it gets passed through your large intestine quite easily, whereas if you eat liver, the heme iron is already present and your body has to do less work to modify it.

Just own up to the fact that you think eating liver is gross and don't like it. Don't try to spread misinformation about it.

Don't nobody tell me not to use giblets in my moms gravy.... :no: :pimpdaddy:

*Cues music*

I'll tell you good citizen! You see, that's part of the digestive tract of the animal. Now chickens are commonly used in voodoo ceremony, so do you know what that means? The digestive tract, part of the "giblets" as you call them, are actually an inter-dimensional portal way to the land of the damned. It's true, that's why it's used in voodoo. When you place these evil devices within your food, you are communing with evil itself. This is one of the many nefarious plots of Satan himself to secure his rebirth upon this land once enough organ meat has been eaten.

If you love this world good Reverend, you'll avoid the giblets from here on out.
