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: For the best results, use fresh, high-quality liver. Look for liver that is a deep red color and has a smooth, shiny surface. Avoid liver that is brown or has any spots or blemishes.
  • Soak the liver in milk: Soaking the liver in milk helps to remove impurities and reduce the strong flavor. Place the liver in a bowl of milk and let it soak for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Season the liver well: Liver has a mild flavor, so it's important to season it well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add other spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.
  • Cook the liver over medium heat: Liver is a delicate organ meat, so it's important to cook it over medium heat. This will help to prevent the liver from becoming tough or overcooked.
  • Don't overcook the liver: Liver is best when it is cooked to medium-rare or medium. Overcooking the liver will make it tough and dry.
  • Serve the liver immediately: Liver is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to prevent the liver from drying out.

Conclusion:

Liver with apples and onions is a classic German dish that is both delicious and nutritious. The liver is a good source of protein, iron, and vitamin B12. The apples and onions add a sweet and tangy flavor to the dish. This dish is a great way to enjoy liver if you are not used to the strong flavor. It is also a good way to get your daily dose of protein and vitamins.
