Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 thick slices bacon (2 ounces), cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, more as needed
1 small head radicchio, halved, cored and thinly sliced
Kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 1/2 pounds calf's liver, sliced 1/4-inch thick
Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)
Cooked polenta, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, sauté bacon and onion until both are well browned and onions are tender, about 10 minutes. If pan starts to dry out, add a tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Add radicchio and a large pinch of salt and pepper and continue to sauté until radicchio is very tender, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in the honey and vinegar, then transfer mixture to a serving platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
  • Wipe out skillet and add a tablespoon of oil. While it heats, season liver with salt and pepper. Add liver to pan, in batches if necessary, and sauté for about 2 minutes a side over high heat. (Add more oil to pan between batches if necessary.) Liver is done when it is golden on surface but still pink on inside. As pieces cook, transfer them to serving platter on top of radicchio mixture. Garnish with parsley and serve over polenta if desired.

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.

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 LIVER AND ONIONS WITH BACON



Calf Liver and Onions With Bacon image

Two or three spashes of red wine vinegar give a fresh kick to this old standby. Cooking with bacon also "lightens" the liver taste. When my children were small, I called this "Cowboy Steak." It was inspiration born of desperation. They ate it with enthusiasm.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 slices cooked bacon, torn in bite sized pieces
2 sliced onions (I use a little more)
1 lb calf liver
1/2 cup flour (more if needed for dredging meat)
salt and pepper
2 -3 dashes red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in large skillet. Set cooked bacon aside, leaving as much grease as possible in skillet.
  • Tear bacon in bite sized pieces.
  • Cook sliced onions in grease, with a little salt and pepper, for about 15 minutes, or until limp.
  • Remove onions, set aside, leaving as much grease as possible in skillet.
  • Lightly salt and pepper liver slices (I cut long slices in half) and dredge heavily in flour.
  • Place liver in hot grease, cooking until brown on both sides, over medium heat.
  • When liver is browned, add onions, bacon pieces, and 2-3 splashes red wine vinegar.
  • Salt and pepper to taste (remember, you have already used some, so go easy until you can taste it).
  • Add enough water to make a gravy, barely covering the meat. Stir water to combine with other ingredients evenly.
  • Cover, cook on low for 15-20 minutes. It should look like you have gravy.
