Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound calf's liver, cut into 1/2 inch thick pieces
1 1/2 cups whole milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons sunflower or other neutral-tasting oil, plus more as needed
4 fresh sage sprigs, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Place liver in a nonreactive (ceramic or glass) bowl and pour milk over. Refrigerate, covered, 5 to 6 hours.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. When butter is shimmering, add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring more frequently until onions are very soft and brown, 30 to 40 minutes more.
  • Drain liver and discard milk. Pat liver dry with paper towels.
  • Spread flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Thoroughly coat liver with the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
  • Heat a large (13-inch) saute pan over medium heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the oil and heat until shimmering. Cook (in batches, if necessary, to avoid crowding pan) until liver is firm (but not hard) and browned on the outside but still slightly pink in the center, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining liver, adding more oil to the pan as necessary. Add sage and cook for 1 minute more.
  • Divide liver among plates and top with onions.

ABSOLUTE BEST LIVER AND ONIONS



Absolute Best Liver and Onions image

This recipe will turn liver haters into converts. Very simple! The three things that will set your liver above all others are: 1) soak in milk, 2)turn liver as little as possible and 3) don't overcook!

Provided by JSHULER43

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!

CALF'S LIVER WITH BACON AND ONIONS



Calf's Liver with Bacon and Onions image

The mashed sweet potatoes with sage butter are a great side dish for calf's liver. We recommend asking the butcher for the freshest calf's liver available, since it can vary in quality. Soaking the liver in milk, a method typically used for pork liver, helps soften and mellow its flavor.

Categories     Beef     Onion     Pork     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Fall

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb calf's liver (1/2 inch thick), cut into 4 pieces
1 cup whole milk
8 bacon slices, halved crosswise
3 medium onions, halved lengthwise, then cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Soak liver in milk in a bowl 20 minutes.
  • While liver is soaking, cook bacon in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, turning over occasionally, until crisp. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain and reserve 2 1/2 tablespoons fat in skillet, transferring remaining fat to a small bowl.
  • Cook onions with salt and pepper to taste in fat in skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer onions to a bowl and add bacon. Keep warm, covered.
  • Pat liver dry and discard milk. Stir together flour, salt, and pepper on a sheet of wax paper and dredge liver in flour mixture, shaking off excess.
  • Add 1 1/2 tablespoons reserved bacon fat to skillet and heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté liver, turning over once, until browned but still pink inside, about 4 minutes total. Serve liver topped with onions and bacon.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh calf liver: Look for a liver that is firm and has a deep red color. Avoid livers that are bruised or have any discoloration.
  • Soak the liver in milk: This will help to remove any bitterness from the liver and make it more tender.
  • Cook the liver over medium heat: This will help to prevent the liver from becoming tough.
  • Do not overcook the liver: The liver should be cooked until it is just pink in the center. Overcooking will make the liver tough and dry.
  • Season the liver with your favorite herbs and spices: This will help to enhance the flavor of the liver.
  • Serve the liver with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and gravy are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

Calf liver is a delicious and nutritious organ meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. When cooked properly, calf liver is tender, flavorful, and packed with nutrients. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy liver, give this recipe a try. You may be surprised at how much you enjoy it!
