Beef Liver and Onions Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef liver, sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (optional, for dredging)
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Liver:
- Rinse the liver slices under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. If desired, dredge the liver in flour seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder for a slight crust.
- Cook the Onions:
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized (about 10-15 minutes). Remove the onions from the skillet and set them aside.
- Cook the Liver:
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil or butter. Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the liver slices and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. (Liver should still be slightly pink inside; avoid overcooking to keep it tender.)
- Combine and Serve:
- Return the caramelized onions to the skillet with the liver, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional minute to heat through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
