Beef Kidneys Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 beef kidneys
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup red wine
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Clean the beef kidneys by removing the membrane, fat, and core. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
2. Cut the kidneys into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
3. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kidneys and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove the kidneys from the skillet and set aside.
4. Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
5. Add the red wine, beef broth, tomato paste, and flour to the skillet. Whisk to combine and bring to a boil.
6. Return the beef kidneys to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce.
7. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and the kidneys are cooked through.
8. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
9. Serve hot and enjoy!

Verdict:

Beef kidneys are a rich and flavorful ingredient that can be intimidating for some home chefs. However, this recipe takes the guesswork out of preparing them and creates a tender and delicious meal. The red wine and beef broth create a savory base for the kidneys, while the onion and garlic add a depth of flavor. The flour and tomato paste thicken the sauce perfectly, making it a great complement to the tender beef kidneys.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple arugula salad to balance the richness of the beef. This dish pairs well with a glass of bold red wine, like a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot.
