Savor the timeless taste of Beef Liver with Caramelized Onions, where tender slices of liver are perfectly seasoned and paired with sweet, golden-brown onions for a hearty, flavorful meal that’s both comforting and nourishing.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb of beef liver, sliced
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup of milk (for soaking)
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons of butter
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions:
- Prepare the Liver:
- Place the sliced beef liver in a shallow dish and pour the milk over it. Let the liver soak for 30 minutes to mellow out its strong flavor.
- After soaking, remove the liver from the milk, pat dry with paper towels, and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
- Caramelize the Onions:
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften and caramelize, about 15-20 minutes. Once caramelized, remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Liver:
- Lightly coat the seasoned liver slices in flour, shaking off any excess.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and olive oil. Heat over medium-high until the butter melts and begins to bubble.
- Place the liver slices in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned on the outside and slightly pink in the center.
- Combine and Serve:
- Return the caramelized onions to the skillet, spooning them over the liver slices. Cook for another 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
