Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons butter
2 large onions, sliced thin
1 lb beef liver, sliced about 1/4 inch and cleaned
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 cup Wondra Flour
2 tablespoons coconut oil or 2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • Melt butter over medium heat in a large skillet and add sliced onions. Cook until tender.
  • Mix the flour and seasoned salt together on plate, large bowl, or ziplock bag.
  • Dredge each piece of liver in flour mix being sure to cover all of the liver. Coat all of the slices of liver.
  • Remove the onions from the skillet and keep warm.
  • Add 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons coconut or canola oil to skillet and turn heat up to medium high. I prefer coconut oil.
  • Add dredged liver to skillet and cook on each side for 2-3 minutes. Don't overcrowd the skillet. It will take 3-4 batches to cook the liver. Move to a plate and keep warm between batches.
  • Once all the liver is cooked, reheat the onions then place over the livers.
  • You can cover with a brown, cream, beef, or mushroom gravy if you prefer.

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!

Tips:

  • To ensure the liver is tender and flavorful, soak it in milk for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Use a combination of butter and oil to fry the liver. This will help prevent the liver from sticking to the pan and will also add flavor.
  • Cook the liver over medium heat. This will help to prevent the liver from becoming tough.
  • Do not overcook the liver. Liver is best when it is cooked to a medium-rare or medium doneness.
  • Serve the liver with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a green salad.

Conclusion:

Liver and onions is a classic dish that is easy to make and packed with flavor. By following these simple tips, you can make a delicious liver and onions dish that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give liver and onions a try!
