Beef Liver and Onions recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef liver, sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces
  • 1 cup milk (for soaking)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 tbsp butter (divided)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Soak the Liver:
    • Place the liver slices in a bowl and cover with milk. Let soak for 30–60 minutes in the refrigerator to mellow the flavor and tenderize.
  2. Prepare the Onions:
    • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat.
    • Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown and caramelized, about 15–20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
    • Remove onions from skillet and set aside.
  3. Dredge the Liver:
    • Remove liver from milk and pat dry with paper towels.
    • Season the flour with salt and pepper, then dredge the liver pieces lightly in the seasoned flour.
  4. Cook the Liver:
    • In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
    • Cook the liver slices over medium-high heat for about 2–3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through but still tender (do not overcook).
  5. Combine and Serve:
    • Return the onions to the skillet with the liver, letting everything warm together for a minute.
    • Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
    • Garnish with parsley if desired and serve immediately.
