Sure, here’s a classic recipe for Beef Liver and Onions:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb beef liver, sliced into 1/4-inch thick pieces
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup milk (for soaking)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3-4 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter
- 1/2 cup beef broth (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Liver:
- Place the liver slices in a bowl and cover with milk. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to help tenderize and reduce the strong flavor.
- Prepare the Flour Mixture:
- In a shallow dish, mix the flour with salt and pepper. Dredge each slice of liver in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Cook the Onions:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Remove the onions from the skillet and set them aside.
- Cook the Liver:
- In the same skillet, add a bit more oil or butter if needed. Add the liver slices and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Avoid overcooking, as liver can become tough.
- Combine:
- Once the liver is cooked, return the caramelized onions to the skillet. If desired, add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce to create a flavorful sauce. Simmer for a few minutes to combine the flavors.
- Serve:
- Serve the liver and onions hot, with the sauce spooned over the top.
Enjoy your meal!
