SIMPLY THE BEST BEEF LIVER AND ONION CASSEROLE



Simply the Best Beef Liver and Onion Casserole image

This is the only way I'll eat liver. The liver has a nice bacon flavor due to the fact that it is lightly cooked in the bacon fat. It also has Durkee French Fried Onions in it to make it extra yummy. Due to the fact that it is baked in a casserole the liver is kept from drying out. If you like liver, you should definately try this - its a real winner. I usually serve it over cooked rice. Enjoy.

Sauteed Calf's Liver image

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.

ABSOLUTE BEST LIVER AND ONIONS



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!

Provided by JSHULER43

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!

Tips:

  • Choose the right liver. Beef liver is the most commonly used liver in casseroles, but you can also use pork liver, lamb liver, or chicken liver. Be sure to choose a liver that is fresh and free of any blemishes.
  • Soak the liver in milk. This will help to remove any impurities and improve the flavor of the liver.
  • Cook the liver properly. Liver is a delicate organ and can easily become overcooked. Cook it over medium heat until it is just cooked through. Overcooked liver will be tough and dry.
  • Season the liver well. Liver has a mild flavor, so it is important to season it well. Use a variety of spices and herbs to create a flavorful casserole.
  • Add vegetables to the casserole. Vegetables will add flavor and nutrients to the casserole. Some good choices include onions, carrots, celery, and mushrooms.
  • Use a creamy sauce. A creamy sauce will help to make the casserole more rich and flavorful. You can use a simple white sauce or a more complex sauce, such as a mushroom sauce or a cheese sauce.
  • Serve the casserole hot. Liver casserole is best served hot. You can garnish it with fresh parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Liver casserole is a delicious and nutritious dish that is easy to make. By following these tips, you can make a liver casserole that your family and friends will love. So next time you are looking for a new recipe to try, give liver casserole a try. You might be surprised at how much you enjoy it!
