This chicken liver steak or chicken liver bistek is a variation of the famous beef bistek. Although there are other versions of bistek like the pork bistek or chicken bistek, this dish uses chicken liver instead of the chicken meat. Not all are fond of eating chicken liver because it is bitter and sometimes has a gamy taste if not properly cooked. But you can lessen the bitter taste by removing the blood from the liver by washing it properly and soaking it in brine so that the blood will flow from the liver to the brine. You can also soak the liver in buttermilk or milk to get rid of the blood. When it comes to cooking this dish, well it is easy and there is no need of a special skill to cook it.
