Beef liver and onions is a classic, flavorful dish that’s both nutritious and easy to make! Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb beef liver (sliced thinly)
- 2 large onions (sliced)
- 2 tbsp butter or oil (for frying)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tsp paprika (optional)
- 1 tbsp flour (optional, for coating the liver)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
-
Prep the Liver: Rinse the liver slices under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. You can also soak the liver in milk for 30 minutes before cooking to help reduce the strong flavor, if desired.
-
Season the Liver: Sprinkle the liver slices with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (if using). You can also lightly coat them in flour if you prefer a crispy outer layer.
-
Cook the Onions: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and caramelized (about 15-20 minutes). Remove the onions from the pan and set aside.
-
Cook the Liver: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter or oil. Once heated, add the liver slices and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Be careful not to overcook, as liver can become tough if cooked too long.
-
Add the Onions: Once the liver is cooked to your liking, return the caramelized onions to the skillet and stir them into the liver. If you’d like, you can add Worcestershire sauce or a splash of water or broth to create a bit of sauce.
-
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish.
