The pan is smoking, the garlic hits the oil, then the beef liver goes in with green chili, cumin and a squeeze of lemon. Thirty seconds later the whole street knows someone is making kebda eskandarani. Wrap it in a baladi loaf with tahini and it is the best sandwich in Egypt.
Our beef liver arrives fresh, not frozen, with a deep red color, a smooth texture and a clean smell. Fresh liver sears instead of steaming, stays creamy inside, and never turns rubbery or bitter when cooked right.
Where Our Beef Liver Comes From
It comes from our own young Balady calves at Kandouz age, which is why it is tender and mild rather than strong and grainy like liver from older animals. It is trimmed by our team and packed fresh.
How to Cook Kebda Eskandarani
Slice the liver into thin strips and pat it dry. Heat oil until smoking, add garlic and sliced green peppers or hot chili, then the liver, and stir fry over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes only. Season with salt, cumin, a little black pepper and lemon juice at the end. For liver pané, coat thin slices in flour, egg and breadcrumbs and fry quickly. Overcooking is the only way to ruin it, so keep it fast.
Why Farm House Liver
Our Balady calves are naturally raised on our own farm for about 400 days with zero hormones and zero chemicals. That matters most with liver, the organ that tells you how an animal was raised. Every piece is vacuum packed by our team with no bare hand contact.
Iron rich, protein rich, and the taste of the best liver sandwich in Alexandria. Make it at home with liver you can trust.
Kebda night is better with company: add beef heart and kidney for a mixed sauté plate, or chicken liver for a milder bite. Finish the sandwich spread with oriental beef sausage.
