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!

Provided by Shelly

Categories     Beef Tenderloin

Time 4h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
½ cup butter, softened
6 tablespoons Dijon mustard, divided
2 tablespoons whole green peppercorns, coarsely ground
2 tablespoons whole pink peppercorns, coarsely ground
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt, or to taste
1 (3 pound) beef tenderloin, trimmed
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish

Steps:

  • Mix parsley, butter, and 3 tablespoons Dijon together in a small bowl. Combine green and pink peppercorns with salt in a small bowl.
  • Place beef tenderloin on a rack set on top of a heavy, rimmed baking sheet. Rub butter mixture over the tenderloin, coating well. Pat peppercorn mixture into the butter. Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 24 hours.
  • Mix sour cream, remaining 3 tablespoons Dijon, and horseradish together in a small container. Cover and chill for 3 hours.

  • Uncover tenderloin and bake in the preheated oven until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read between 135 and 140 degrees F (57 and 60 degrees C) for medium-rare/medium.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Liver: Select a healthy liver with a deep red or burgundy color. Avoid any liver with spots or discoloration.
  • Soak the Liver: To remove impurities and reduce bitterness, soak the liver in milk or water for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Slice Against the Grain: For a tender texture, slice the liver against the grain. This will help break down the tough connective tissues.
  • Cook Over Medium Heat: Cooking the liver over medium heat prevents it from becoming tough and rubbery.
  • Do Not Overcook: Be careful not to overcook the liver, as it will become dry and tough. Cook it just until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for medium-rare or 165°F (74°C) for medium.
  • Season Generously: Liver has a mild flavor, so season it generously with salt, pepper, and other spices to enhance its taste.
  • Serve with Creamy Sauce: Beef liver pairs well with creamy sauces, such as sour cream sauce, mushroom sauce, or onion sauce. These sauces help to balance the liver's strong flavor and make it more palatable.

Conclusion:

Beef liver is a nutritious and versatile organ meat that can be cooked in various ways. With its rich flavor and high nutritional content, it is a great addition to any healthy diet. By following these tips, you can easily prepare a delicious and satisfying beef liver dish that your family and friends will love.
