Description
A simple and tender liver and onions recipe that transforms beef liver into a savory, delicious meal with sweet caramelized onions.
Ingredients
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 pound beef liver, thinly sliced (calf’s liver preferred)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
Instructions
- Arrange the liver slices on a cutting board and blot them thoroughly dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the onion rings, and cook for about 7-8 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove the onions to a plate and cover with foil; carefully wipe the skillet clean with paper towels and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the liver slices to the pan (in batches if needed) and cook for roughly 3 minutes per side, ensuring they do not overcook.
- Remove the liver from the pan, place on serving plates, and top immediately with the warm sautéed onions.
Notes
Soak mature liver in milk for 30 minutes before cooking to reduce metallic taste. Do not overcook.
