Pig kidney. Selenium is 240µg per 100g, especially high even among meats.

How to serve
Pork calls for caution about parasites and Aujeszky's disease. Aujeszky's disease causes severe illness in dogs, and Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries asks that pork not be fed raw to pets but cooked thoroughly. Because the selenium is high, use it as part of a meal rather than as a main ingredient.
