Liver and Onions
Ingredients
For the Liver:
- 1 pound beef liver, sliced into 1/4-inch thick pieces
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or butter)
For the Onions:
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup beef broth (or water)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Directions
Prepare the Liver:
- Rinse the liver slices under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each liver slice in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
Cook the Onions:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Liver:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil or butter over medium-high heat.
- Add the floured liver slices to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. The liver should still be slightly pink in the center.
Combine and Simmer:
- Return the cooked onions to the skillet with the liver.
- Add the beef broth (or water), soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce (if using). Stir to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce is slightly thickened and the liver is tender.
Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
Enjoy!
- This Liver and Onions recipe is a classic, hearty dish that combines tender liver with sweet, caramelized onions in a flavorful sauce.
