Ingredients:
- 1 lb Vermeat grass-fed Beef Liver, sliced into 1-inch strips
- 3 tbsp grass-fed butter or organic olive oil, divided
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup brandy or whiskey (optional)
- 1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions:
- Cook the beef liver: Heat 1 tbsp of grass-fed butter or organic olive oil in a cast-iron skillet or non-PTFE cookware over medium heat. Add the beef liver strips, cooking until just browned but still pink in the center, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked liver to a plate and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, melt 1 tbsp of grass-fed butter or add an additional tbsp of organic olive oil, then sauté the onion and garlic for about 5 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
- Deglaze the skillet (optional): If using brandy or whiskey, pour it into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom with a wooden spoon. Let the alcohol cook off until it reduces by half.
- Add the herbs and spices: Stir in the chopped thyme, rosemary, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper, adjusting the seasoning to taste.
- Combine the beef liver and vegetables: Return the cooked beef liver strips to the skillet and toss with the onions, garlic, and herb-spice mixture.
- Blend the ingredients: Transfer the cooked liver, onion mixture, and heavy cream to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Add finishing touches: Melt the remaining 1 tbsp of grass-fed butter or add an additional tbsp of organic olive oil, then drizzle it over the blended pate for an added touch of richness and flavor.
- Chill and serve: Transfer the Beef Liver Pate to a lidded container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the flavors to meld together. When ready to serve, spread the pate on low-carb crackers, vegetable slices, or enjoy it on its own as a nutritious and indulgent treat.
