🥄 Ingredients (4 servings)
- 1 lb beef or calf liver, sliced into ½-inch thick pieces
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup milk (for soaking)
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tsp paprika (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prep the liver
- Rinse liver slices and soak in milk for 30–60 minutes (removes bitterness).
- Pat dry with paper towels.
- Season with salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder or paprika.
2. Cook the onions
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter with 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat.
- Add sliced onions and sauté until caramelized, about 10–12 minutes.
- Remove onions and set aside.
3. Cook the liver
- In the same skillet, add remaining butter if needed.
- Sear liver slices 2–3 minutes per side until browned but still slightly pink inside (overcooking makes liver tough).
- Return onions to the pan to warm with the liver.
4. Serve
- Plate liver with onions on top.
- Garnish with fresh parsley.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or sautéed vegetables.
💡 Tips
- Soaking liver in milk is key to mellow out bitterness.
- Don’t overcook—liver should remain tender.
- Use a cast iron skillet for best caramelization and flavor.
- Optional: splash of balsamic vinegar or Worcestershire sauce adds depth.
