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!

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!

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound calf's liver, cut into 1/2 inch thick pieces
1 1/2 cups whole milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons sunflower or other neutral-tasting oil, plus more as needed
4 fresh sage sprigs, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Place liver in a nonreactive (ceramic or glass) bowl and pour milk over. Refrigerate, covered, 5 to 6 hours.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. When butter is shimmering, add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring more frequently until onions are very soft and brown, 30 to 40 minutes more.
  • Drain liver and discard milk. Pat liver dry with paper towels.
  • Spread flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Thoroughly coat liver with the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
  • Heat a large (13-inch) saute pan over medium heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the oil and heat until shimmering. Cook (in batches, if necessary, to avoid crowding pan) until liver is firm (but not hard) and browned on the outside but still slightly pink in the center, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining liver, adding more oil to the pan as necessary. Add sage and cook for 1 minute more.
  • Divide liver among plates and top with onions.

CALF'S LIVER WITH BACON AND ONIONS



Calf's Liver with Bacon and Onions image

The mashed sweet potatoes with sage butter are a great side dish for calf's liver. We recommend asking the butcher for the freshest calf's liver available, since it can vary in quality. Soaking the liver in milk, a method typically used for pork liver, helps soften and mellow its flavor.

Categories     Beef     Onion     Pork     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Fall

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb calf's liver (1/2 inch thick), cut into 4 pieces
1 cup whole milk
8 bacon slices, halved crosswise
3 medium onions, halved lengthwise, then cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Soak liver in milk in a bowl 20 minutes.
  • While liver is soaking, cook bacon in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, turning over occasionally, until crisp. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain and reserve 2 1/2 tablespoons fat in skillet, transferring remaining fat to a small bowl.
  • Cook onions with salt and pepper to taste in fat in skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer onions to a bowl and add bacon. Keep warm, covered.
  • Pat liver dry and discard milk. Stir together flour, salt, and pepper on a sheet of wax paper and dredge liver in flour mixture, shaking off excess.
  • Add 1 1/2 tablespoons reserved bacon fat to skillet and heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté liver, turning over once, until browned but still pink inside, about 4 minutes total. Serve liver topped with onions and bacon.

LIVER AND ONIONS WITH CIDER GRAVY AND BISCUITS

Categories     Onion     Bake     Quick & Easy     Gourmet

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

For the biscuits
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
1/2 cup milk
3/4 pound 1/4-inch-thick slices of calf's liver, cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced onion
3/4 cup apple cider

Steps:

  • Make the biscuits:
  • In a bowl whisk together the flour, the baking powder, and the salt, add the butter, and blend the mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Add the milk and stir the mixture until it is just combined. Knead the dough gently on a floured surface for 30 seconds, pat or roll it out 1/4 inch thick, and with a floured 3-inch cutter cut out 4 rounds. Bake the biscuits on a buttered baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 450°F. oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden.
  • While the biscuits are baking, in a bowl toss the liver with the flour and salt and pepper to taste. In a large heavy skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking, in it brown the liver, and transfer the liver to another bowl. Add to the skillet the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the onion and cook the onion over moderate heat, stirring occasionally and scraping up the brown bits, until it is golden. Add the cider, 1/4 cup water, and the liver with any juices that have accumulated in the bowl, simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the liver is cooked through, and season it with salt and pepper.
  • Split the biscuits and spoon the liver and onion mixture over them.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the final dish, so it's important to use the best you can find. Look for calf liver that is a deep reddish-brown color and has no visible signs of bruising or damage. The onions should be firm and free of blemishes.
  • Soak the liver in milk before cooking. This will help to remove any bitterness from the liver and make it more tender. Soak the liver in milk for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than overnight.
  • Cook the liver over medium heat. High heat will toughen the liver, so it's important to cook it over medium heat. This will allow the liver to cook through without becoming dry.
  • Don't overcook the liver. Liver is a delicate meat, and it can easily be overcooked. Cook the liver until it is just pink in the center, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Serve the liver with a flavorful gravy. A simple gravy made with onions, garlic, and red wine is a great way to complement the liver. You can also add other ingredients to the gravy, such as mushrooms, bacon, or herbs.

Conclusion:

Baked calf liver and onions with gravy is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The liver is tender and flavorful, and the gravy is rich and savory. Serve the liver with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
