Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 1 pound beef liver (trimmed of membranes)
- ½ cup butter (divided)
- 1 small onion (optional, for added flavor)
- Salt (to taste)
- Optional garnish: Fresh parsley or hard-boiled egg slices
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Liver
- Rinse the liver under cold water and pat it dry. Trim away any visible membranes or connective tissue for a smoother pâté.
- Sauté the Liver and Onion
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the liver and sauté for 3–4 minutes per side, or until browned on the outside but still slightly pink inside.
- If using onion, sauté it alongside the liver until softened.
- Blend the Pâté
- Transfer the cooked liver and onions to a food processor. Add the remaining butter and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Chill the Pâté
- Spoon the pâté into a ramekin or small dish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve
- Serve chilled, garnished with parsley or sliced boiled egg for a classic touch.
Serving Suggestions
- Scoop the pâté onto crispy pork rinds or enjoy it straight with a spoon for a true Carnivore treat.
- Pair with bone broth or grilled steak for a nutrient-packed meal.
Tips for Success
- Choose Fresh Liver: Fresh, high-quality beef liver is key to a mild and delicious pâté.
- Blend Thoroughly: For the creamiest texture, blend until completely smooth.
- Customize Flavors: Add a touch of garlic or smoked salt to enhance the flavor (if your diet allows).
