Beef liver and onions is a classic dish that’s not only delicious but also rich in nutrients. The key to making a great liver and onions dish is to properly prepare and cook the liver to ensure it’s tender and flavorful. Here’s a simple recipe for a tasty beef liver and onions dish:
Ingredients:
1 pound beef liver, sliced
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
4 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
1 cup beef broth
Instructions:
Prepare the Liver:
Rinse the beef liver slices under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Dredge the liver slices in flour, shaking off any excess.
Sauté the Onions:
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the thinly sliced onions to the skillet and cook until they become golden brown and caramelized. This process may take about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Cook the Liver:
Once the onions are caramelized, move them to the side of the skillet.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet.
Place the dredged liver slices in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes until they are browned but still slightly pink inside.
