opinion on Horsemeat and Liver?

[lapollarecords]

I just found a specialized horsemeat shop and I am thinking on going full Overeem. anyone has experience with it? which cut is the best one, if what you want is cheap lean, high protein meat?

plus, your opinion on beef liver? I find it very cheap everywhere and everything I've read about it indicates it's pretty good nutritionally. am I wrong? the taste is a bit strong but I think I can get used to it, adding some onion and spices.

Love liver and have read nothing but good things about it. Its somewhat high fat content is probably the only downside.

Sautee it with some onion, garlic and maybe a diced up tomato in there to thicken up the juice. Delish.

An 81-gram slice of pan-fried beef liver has 142 calories, 21.48 g of protein, 4.18 g of carbohydrate, 3.79 g of fat, 1.21 g of saturated fat, 309 mg of cholesterol and 62 mg of sodium, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Nutrient Database. Approximately 61 percent of the calories in beef liver come from protein, 24 percent from fat and 15 percent from carbohydrate.

what I find weird is that amount of carbs in a piece of meat.

I tried horse jerky while in Ukraine. Tasted just like beef jerky. Very lean and tasty.

This is a good read if you have a few minutes

Liver is highly saturated with blood and some glycogen since the liver is harvested and frozen quicker than muscle tissue during butchery, it doesn't get as long of a chance for bacteria etc to oxidize it like it would with muscle tissue that is hung with cheese cloth.

I wish i was a fan of liver but unfortunately the taste it just too strong for me. Personally i perfer beef heart. The macros are probably the best i have seen and it is loaded with micro nutrients and also its more of a muscle than an organ so it kinda tastes like meat and can be eaten medium rare. Try it sometime you will like it.

This is probably my favorite dish ever, of any cuisine:

Beef heart skewers marinated in a glorious sauce. Absolutely delicious. Go to a Peruvian restaurant and ask for "anticuchos"

"I am thinking on going full Overeem"
If you think Overeem was that big because of horse meat, you are mistaken.

Liver is really healthy. Full of b vitamins and iron in levels you cant get from other meat sources. I try to eat it a couple of times a week. Don't over cook it though as it becomes tough and you lose a lot of its nutritional value
