Tips & Tricks
You can cut the liver into small chunks, but we recommend cutting it into strips because it increases the surface area that touches the marinade.
If you are using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for an hour.
It is highly undesirable to overexpose the dish to fire on a grill for more than 4 minutes, because the liver will become dry and harsh — you want it to be a little pink on the inside.
Skewers prevent the liver from falling into the grill. But you can grill the strips directly on the BBQ without the skewers.
The liver can be checked by the color of the blood. The color of a healthy liver is even, not too dark or light, without spots.
There is a white film on beef liver, which can be easily removed if the product is fresh. Make sure you know how to clean beef liver before cooking
