Beef Kidney: Big on Flavor, Rich in Purpose

Always 100% Grass-Fed & Pasture-Raised


A Bite-Sized Take

Kidney isn’t fussy, just honest. This hard-working cut brings bold, savory character to the table, along with essential nutrients like B12, iron, and zinc. It’s a choice that honors the whole animal and the whole story.

  • Best Cooking Methods: Sauté, braise, or gently simmer with aromatics to highlight the kidney’s distinct flavor and tender texture.

  • Quick Tip: Soak in milk, buttermilk, or lemon water before cooking to soften the flavor and enhance tenderness..

  • Perfect For: Traditional steak and kidney pies, nutrient-rich stews, and cooks who believe nothing should go to waste

Every Juicy Detail

Beef kidney has long held a place in traditional cooking, prized for both its flavor and its nutritional value. When properly prepared, it delivers deep umami and a satisfying, meaty bite that stands up to rich gravies and long-simmered broths.

We recommend slicing it after a good soak, then cooking it slowly with aromatic vegetables and herbs. Whether folded into a flaky pie crust or spooned over mashed potatoes, kidney adds old-world depth and intention to any dish.

Cooking with kidney is more than a recipe choice, it’s a commitment to using every part of the animal with care and respect.

Why Choose Our Grass-Fed Beef?

Raised on our Family Farm: Our steaks come from cattle raised on our family farm, where they enjoy a natural 100% grass diet and roam freely on lush pastures. This commitment to quality ensures lean, flavorful beef with no grain, additives, or artificial enhancers.

Ethically Raised: We prioritize humane treatment and sustainable practices on our farm. Our cattle are raised with care and are free from antibiotics, growth hormones, and GMOs, reflecting our dedication to responsible farming.

Nutrient-Dense: Grass-fed beef is packed with higher levels of Omega-3 fatty acids, CLA, and essential vitamins compared to conventional beef. Our beef provides a delicious, protein-rich option that’s good for you and full of flavor.

Cooking Suggestions

Our grass-fed steaks are ideal for grilling or pan-searing to enhance its bold flavor. For the best results, cook to medium-rare or medium to preserve the natural juiciness.

  • Grill Masterpiece: Grill over high heat for a perfect sear, then finish over indirect heat for a juicy, flavorful steak.
  • Pan-Seared Perfection: Sear in a hot cast-iron skillet with butter and herbs to create a crisp, caramelized crust while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Oven-Broiled Excellence: Broil your steak for a few minutes on each side, finishing with a quick sear in the pan for a steakhouse-worthy finish.
