Quick question for my liver dinner tonight!

[NatrlCatholicMama]

Making it for the 1st time ... NT says to have the butcher remove the filament around the edge (so the edges don't curl) and to slice it 1/4" thick. I'm not sure whether mine has a filament or whether it's already sliced ... since I have no idea what liver looks like right out of the cow!

I bought it from a grass farmer in TN, and it came in a styrofoam tray in three pieces, each about 1/2" thick and pretty large. I don't know if I'm supposed to slice it crosswise or if it's already sliced? And I don't know if what I see on the edge is supposed to be removed or how to do it if it hasn't?

TIA!!!

Bump for "done marinating, almost time to cook!"

I looked at a couple online pictures/recipes, but I can't figure out how they got the medallions that are about 2x5x1/4". My pieces are about 4x8x1/2". Perhaps it's already sliced? Then I just need to slice the 8" into 2" pieces? Or do I need to slice it crosswise, which would make each slice about 4x1/4x1/2"?

I doubt it matters too much- just cut into pieces around the same size as the recipe suggests, even if theyr'e not the same shape.
