Beef Liver and Onion
**Ingredients:**
– 1 pound beef liver, sliced into thin strips
– 2 large onions, thinly sliced
– 3 tablespoons butter or olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1/2 cup beef broth or water
– Optional: fresh herbs for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. Begin by rinsing the beef liver slices under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels. This helps remove any excess blood and ensures a clean flavor.
2. In a large skillet, melt butter or heat olive oil over medium heat. Add thinly sliced onions and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add more butter or olive oil if needed. Dredge the beef liver slices in flour seasoned with salt and pepper, shaking off any excess flour.
4. Place the flour-coated liver slices in the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the liver, as it can become tough and chewy.
5. Once the liver slices are cooked, return the caramelized onions to the skillet, stirring to combine.
6. Pour beef broth or water into the skillet, stirring to deglaze the pan and create a flavorful sauce. Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt and pepper if desired.
8. Serve the Beef Liver and Onion hot, garnished with fresh herbs if available. Pair it with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish for a complete meal.
9. Enjoy this classic comfort food dish and savor the rich flavors of tender beef liver and caramelized onions. It’s a simple yet satisfying meal that’s sure to become a family favorite!
