Beef Liver and Onions

 

 

Ingredients:

1 lb beef liver, sliced

2 large onions, thinly sliced

1 cup milk (for soaking)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)

1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)

3 tbsp butter

2 tbsp oil

Instructions:

1️⃣ Soak the Liver: Place the sliced liver in a bowl and cover it with milk. Let it soak for 30-60 minutes to reduce bitterness. Drain and pat dry.

2️⃣ Prepare the Onions: Heat 1 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until golden brown and soft, about 10-15 minutes. Remove and set aside.

3️⃣ Dredge the Liver: In a shallow dish, mix flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Dredge each liver slice in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess.

4️⃣ Cook the Liver: Heat remaining 2 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add liver slices in a single layer and cook 2-3 minutes per side until browned but still slightly pink inside (overcooking makes it tough).

5️⃣ Combine & Serve: Return the onions to the skillet and toss gently with the liver. Serve warm with mashed potatoes or rice.
