Instant Pot Beef Kidney

Unlike cooking on the stove top, this Instant Pot Beef Kidney recipe will surely cut your cooking time in half. Traditionally, Jamaicans tend to season their meat over night and I personally would recommend this. My stove top beef kidney recipe would take up to 2 and a half hours but this Instant Pot Beef Kidney recipe will be done within an hour.

Can You Eat Beef Kidney?

Beef kidneys are a lean edible organ meat that provide some important dietary nutrients. Although not commonly eaten in the United States, much of the world considers kidney meat a delicacy. Beef kidneys may be served alone or as additions in other dishes, such as this Jamaican Instant Pot kidney stew.

Does Beef Kidney Taste Good?

When served rare, as it is in some countries, beef kidney has an acquired taste that some may not find inviting. But when cooked until well done in a stew, as it is here, kidney is quite mild in flavor. Personally, I have seen kidney cooked two ways, stewed and jerked, and both have quite a different mouth feel.

Are Beef Kidneys Healthy to Eat?

Rich in nutrients and proteins, kidney meat contains omega 3 fatty acids as well as a rich source of iron. It is also known to contain anti-inflammatory properties and to be good for the heart.

Can I Feed My Dog Instant Pot Beef Kidney?

Yes they can! Beef kidney is an organ meat which is the most nutrient dense part of the animal and considered part of the natural diet of wild canines.

Should you Cook Organ Meat for Dogs?

Many people serve their dogs raw organ meat as part of a raw diet. However, it is perfectly fine to cook . The simplest way to prepare organ meats is to boil them, but you can steam them with other meats and vegetables.

    Thank you for the info on cooking with beef kidney. I accidentally bought it today instead of heart. I am excited to try this and maybe a Mexican barbacoa type dish too. I didn't know they are sources of omega 3 and so much else. Ty again!
