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!

Tips:

  • To ensure optimal flavor and texture, select high-quality beef liver. Look for a liver that is deep red in color, smooth, and firm to the touch.
  • Soaking the liver in milk is an optional step that can help reduce its strong flavor and make it more tender. However, it is not necessary.
  • Slice the liver against the grain to create tender pieces that cook evenly.
  • Dredging the liver in flour before browning helps create a crispy outer layer and prevents it from becoming dry.
  • Use a combination of butter and oil to brown the liver. The butter adds flavor while the oil prevents the butter from burning.
  • Cook the liver over medium heat to prevent it from becoming tough and overcooked.
  • Adding onions to the pan while browning the liver adds sweetness and depth of flavor to the dish.
  • Braising the liver in a flavorful liquid, such as beef broth or red wine, helps tenderize it and infuse it with delicious flavors.
  • Season the dish with herbs and spices to enhance the flavors of the liver and onions.
  • Serve the braised beef liver and onions with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish.
