I love liver, but to be honest I'm not a huge fan of English food, it's mostly pretty bland, and the only seasonings they ever incorporate is salt and pepper. I do love English blood sausage or blood pudding though, that's one thing I'd like to learn how to make.
Things to try on my to-do list: Haggis (yes I realize this is technically Scottish)
I believe that Americans need to consume more organ meat. I don't believe in wasting any bit of the animal, I'll eat everything from the heart and gizzards to the intestines and liver and cartilage.
Not only is organ meat super tasty, but it's also packed with vitamins and healthier for you than standard muscle meat. Chicken heart, for example, contains higher levels of B12, riboflavin, zinc, selenium, iron, folate, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and copper. Liver contains all of the above, plus vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B6, and pantothenic acid.
I've always wanted to try brain, but have never gotten the chance so far.

Uncultured swine... jk... seriously though, don't knock it till you've tried it. I prefer raw beef carpaccio or tartare over a cooked steak.
Also, rare steak is excellent, but only if it's filet mignon or a low fat cut of meat. With fatter cuts, the fat comes out too chewy unless it's at least medium rare or above. You want fat to be crispy, not chewy and slimey.

Disagree. Hence why my rib-eye's (along with the rest) are always cooked 'blue'. Slimey fat got sooooo much flavour.

Gross. I ordered prime rib rare at a famous steakhouse in NY (peter lugers), and I regretted my decision. The beef was way too chewy, I had to chew and chew and chew to get each bite down. Ended up taking half the steak home and grilling it a little more to enjoy the rest.

I've found over the years I can cook a better steak than any steakhouse I've been to. The source of the meat is obviously an issue, but when I got a good supplier I'll put a fuck ton more love into getting it *just* the way I like it...

What's your TEK?
I have a fool proof TEK for making my steaks medium rare without fail. Sear the outside on super high heat on the grill for a minute, then throw in the oven with butter and chopped garlic on top at 400F for 6 minutes.
Obviously this only works on steaks of a certain size and thickness (think a standard cut you would find at the grocer), very thick or ultra-large steaks require different temperature which I haven't prepared often enough to master.
But yeah, a good steak is really all about the quality of the meat more than anything else. There is nothing worse than shitty supermarket beef. You know the beef quality is utter shit when it tastes better completely nuked than medium rare.

LOL, steak tek.
1. Get your meat out of the fridge and let it sit for 20 mins 2. Get your pan hotter than the fires of hell. If it aint smoking and your fire alarm aint going off it aint hot enough 3. 5 Minutes before she goes in the pan, coat steak with sea salt, pepper, and rice bran oil. 4. Get a stopwatch and chuck that beauty in your red hot pan; 1 minute a side 5. When she comes out, wrap her in tinfoil and leave somewhere warm for 5 minutes minimum 6. Unwrap, eat the whole steak, each mouthful full of orgasmic bliss 7. Deal with potatoes/vegetables/whatever else once steak is finished
**I reckon your oven temp is too high on that stage. The meat needs cooler to fully 'relax' IMO.

I'm hungry now...
I am the type of person who likes to make everything from scratch. If I make Mexican, the beans and tortillas will be made by me that day along with the main dish, you know?
The older I get, the longer I like my steaks cooked. I used to like a blue steak, then rare, then medium rare... weird.

Interesting. Just wrapping it in foil and keeping it warm is enough to cook it? I'd imagine it would just remain seared on the outside and raw on the inside. How do you keep it heated in foil?

Well that stage aint to cook it at all; it's to let the fibres of the meant relax. Think of it like muscle that's been pumped and is tight from the heat. If you want it to be ultimately tender, you gotta give it time to relax again.
I usually rest it near the hob I was cooking on or in a cooling oven with the door open.

It's actually surprisingly similar texturally. I fucking love sashimi. It's like the seafood version of blue fillet steak. Used to make it myself but I don't have the 'knack' for getting the cuts right like a sushi chef...
