Classic recipe for Beef Liver and Onions:
Beef Liver and Onions
Ingredients:
- 1 pound beef liver, sliced
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil or butter
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Liver:
- Rinse the beef liver slices under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Dredge each liver slice in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Cook the Liver:
- Heat the vegetable oil or melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the liver slices to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until browned on the outside but still slightly pink in the center. Be careful not to overcook, as liver can become tough if cooked for too long. Adjust the cooking time based on your preference for doneness.
- Caramelize the Onions:
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onions. Cook them over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
- Combine and Deglaze:
- Once the onions are caramelized, return the liver slices to the skillet.
- Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir gently to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Simmer and Serve:
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the liver and onions simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve the beef liver and onions over rice, mashed potatoes, or with your favorite side dishes.
