YUMMY!!! We had this for dinner and it was delicious. We ate the kidneys and gravy over white rice. I also added some diced white potatoes in with the kidneys for a heartier stew. We will be eating this meal again and again. Loved it. 5 stars!!!

Drop a whole beef kidney into some boiling water for maybe 5 mins. or until the outside changes color to grey. This will make it easier to cut into pieces for your stew and to cut out some of the fat inside. Then add the cut up kidney pieces to your gravy and cook only 10 mins. or so or only until all the pink disappears. Cooking a kidney for 1 1/2 hours will only make your kidney tough and inedible.

I've been looking for a recipe like my grandmother's for years. I think I found it. It's been 45 years since I had some. I can't wait to try to make it! Thank you for posting.

This recipe sounds close to what my mom made but still not the same. She was born and raised in Maryland; however moved to the Midwest in her early 20s, she made kidney stew once in a while and we all loved it, however done of us know exactly how to since she passed. We remember her boiling the kidney several times skimming the stuff that floated to the top. After it was the consistency she wanted then she'd cut it up after it cooled. Then she'd make a sauce of diced onion & potatoes with either flour or water mixed with corn starch making a nice sauce and add the kidneys back to the mixture and we actually poured it over waffles (Eggo type) not sure why but it was yummy. If anyone knows this recipe please let me know we have no idea where it came from or if its the entire recipe, she was from Irish and English so it could've come from her mother who was from Ballygar, Ireland but when she came to America she worked for a Jewish family and learned some of their recipes. I'd love to have it again.

That sounds like the stew my learned from grandmother and her parents worked in the lumber camp in the Michigan U.P.

I have the same story to tell... I am from Maryland and my Dad made the best kidney stew and I never asked him for the recipe before he died! It is what you describe... I need to try your version and see! Thank you for posting... we always had it over waffles!
