Categories     Everyday Cooking

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!

Categories     main-dish

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 slices of liver, 1/2 inch thick, preferably calves liver
1/4 cup sherry wine vinegar
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon dry mustard
4 garlic cloves, finely mashed
1 teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Flour, as needed
8 slices bacon, fried crisp, bacon grease reserved
2 cups chicken stock

Steps:

  • Marinate the liver in a mixture of the vinegar, Worcestershire, dry mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper for 30 to 60 minutes.
  • Remove the liver from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Pat the liver dry and dust it with flour. In a heavy skillet, over a medium high heat, sear the liver in a little of the reserved bacon grease. Turn the liver only once to avoid overcooking. Remove the liver to a platter and cover with loosely tented foil to keep warm.
  • Drain the excess bacon grease from the skillet. Place the reserved marinade and chicken stock in the skillet, over a medium high heat, and reduce by half. Pour this sauce over the liver and serve with the crisp bacon slices and pickled serranos or jalapenos on the side.

FRIED BEEF LIVER & ONIONS RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Fried Beef Liver & Onions Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound beef or calf liver, fresh or frozen (thawed)
2 small onions, sliced then separated in rings
1 cup all-purpose flour
Cooking oil, as needed (I used vegetable oil)
1/2 tablespoon margarine or butter, optional
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat; then add 1/2 tablespoon margarine and 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. When hot, add the onions and saute until tender and browned, stirring frequently so they don't burn. Transfer onions to a plate and season with a little salt and pepper; set aside. (I set them in the microwave until needed.) Place the flour into a rimmed plate or pan and season with a little salt and pepper (not too much since the liver will be salted after it is cooked). Coat liver with the flour mixture and set pieces aside on a plate. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add about 1/4 cup oil; when hot, add the liver and brown both sides, turning only once. (Do not overcook it or it will be dry and hard. Time will depend on thickness of liver.) Remove cooked liver to a serving plate and season with salt and keep warm. Continue frying any remaining liver, adding more oil, if needed. Serve liver warm, topped with the sauteed onions and side dishes of choice.. mashed potatoes, buttered white rice, green peas or beans, etc.

Tips:

  • Choose the right liver: Look for a liver that is deep red in color and has a smooth, shiny surface. Avoid livers that are brown or have any blemishes.
  • Soak the liver in milk: This will help to remove any bitterness from the liver and make it more tender.
  • Marinate the liver: Marinating the liver in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help to add flavor and keep it moist.
  • Cook the liver quickly over high heat: This will help to prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Serve the liver immediately: Liver is best served immediately after it is cooked, as it can become dry and tough if it is allowed to sit.

Conclusion:

Beef liver and onions is a classic dish that is both delicious and nutritious. By following these tips, you can make a liver and onions dish that is tender, flavorful, and sure to please everyone at your table.
