Grilled Beef Liver Skewers
Heading out for a cookout? Grill something unexpected! Beef liver skewers on the grill are an unusual pick for a picnic—and they're kid-friendly, too. Liver cooks very fast, so the key is not to overcook it and dry it out. Your coals should be good and hot but flameless. Keep turning the skewers constantly so the liver cooks evenly. The simplest marinade is just mayonnaise. Spices are a must, of course—an ordinary barbecue seasoning works fine. Add extra pepper to taste if you like it spicier and bolder.

- Rinse the liver under running water and remove the membranes and veins—a sharp knife makes this easy. Rinse the prepped liver again and gently pat it dry with paper towels. 2. Cut the liver into pieces. Don't make them too small—medium-sized is better, about how you'd cut meat for kebabs. 3. Put the liver in a deep bowl and sprinkle with barbecue seasoning. Salt to taste, but first check the seasoning's ingredients: if it already contains salt, you won't need to add any. 4. Coat the seasoned liver with the mayonnaise and mix thoroughly—best done with your hands so the marinade coats every piece evenly. 5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for two hours. In that time each piece soaks up the aromas and flavors of the spices and turns soft and tender. 6. After that, thread the liver onto skewers and set them over the grill. Cook over hot coals, keeping any flames down. Turn the skewers constantly so the pieces cook evenly. 7. Liver cooks much faster than meat—5–10 minutes is plenty. Don't cook it any longer, so the skewers stay juicy and tender. Serve with mustard, ketchup, or any sauce you like. Liver skewers also pair wonderfully with fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
