Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds sliced beef liver
1 ½ cups milk, or as needed
¼ cup butter, divided
2 large Vidalia onions, sliced into rings
2 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Gently rinse liver slices under cold water, and place in a medium bowl. Pour in enough milk to cover. Let stand while preparing onions. (I like to soak up to an hour or two - whatever you have time for.) This step is SO important in taking the bitter taste of the liver out.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Separate onion rings, and saute them in butter until soft. Remove onions, and melt remaining butter in the skillet. Season the flour with salt and pepper, and put it in a shallow dish or on a plate. Drain milk from liver, and coat slices in the flour mixture.
  • When the butter has melted, turn the heat up to medium-high, and place the coated liver slices in the pan. Cook until nice and brown on the bottom. Turn, and cook on the other side until browned. Add onions, and reduce heat to medium. Cook a bit longer to taste. Our family prefers the liver to just barely retain a pinkness on the inside when you cut to check. Enjoy!

SOUTHERN FRIED LIVER 'N' ONIONS



Southern Fried Liver 'n' Onions image

My husband and I have always loved liver and onions. My mom and my grandma told me how to make this years ago. My mom always steamed hers, but I prefer not to. I like it crispy and golden with the onions caramelized. My daughters never would touch liver, so when they lived at home, I had to break out the PB&J or scrambled eggs...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb package beef liver
2 large onions, peeled and sliced thin
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 c self-rising flour
1/2 c self-rising corn meal (not mix)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
canola oil for frying

Steps:

  • 1. Pour about 1/2" to 1" canola oil into a heavy skillet (I use a cast iron chicken fryer). Turn heat to high. When oil is hot, add onions and sprinkle with sugar. Reduce heat to medium high and cook, stirring frequently until onions have lightly browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • 2. Remove liver from package, wash. If pieces are large, cut in half. Mix flour, corn meal, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Roll liver pieces in flour mixture.
  • 3. In the same skillet that onions were caramelized in, add liver pieces a few pieces at a time so as not to overcrowd your pan. Brown well on both sides using medium to medium high heat. Transfer to plate and repeat with next batch.
  • 4. Once all liver is browned, return to pan and top with onions. Reduce heat to medium and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to serving platter and arrange caramelized onions on top. Serve hot with your favorite veggies (I like to serve with mashed potatoes, sawmill gravy and green beans).

Tips:

  • Choose the right liver. Look for calf or beef liver that is fresh and has a smooth, even texture. Avoid any liver that is discolored or has an off odor.
  • Soak the liver in milk. This will help to remove any impurities and make the liver more tender. Soak the liver in milk for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Slice the liver thinly. This will help it to cook evenly in the air fryer. Slice the liver against the grain, into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  • Coat the liver in flour. This will help to create a crispy coating on the outside of the liver. Dredge the liver slices in flour, making sure to coat them evenly.
  • Air fry the liver. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the liver slices in the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the liver is cooked through. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking.
  • Serve the liver. Serve the liver immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Air fryer liver and onions is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The liver is cooked to perfection in the air fryer, and the onions are caramelized and flavorful. Serve this dish with your favorite sides for a delicious and satisfying meal.
