🥩 Absolute Beef Liver and Onions

Instructions

1. Prepare the Liver (Important!)

  • Rinse the liver slices and place them in a bowl of milk.
  • Soak 30 minutes to remove bitterness and improve tenderness.
  • Drain and pat dry.

2. Caramelize the Onions

  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil + 1 tbsp butter in a pan.
  2. Add the sliced onions and cook on medium heat for 10–12 minutes, until golden and soft.
  3. Season with a little salt and remove from pan.

3. Dredge the Liver

  • Mix flour with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Coat each liver piece lightly in seasoned flour.

4. Cook the Liver

  1. Add the remaining butter and oil to the same pan.
  2. Sear the liver pieces for 2–3 minutes per side.
    • Do not overcook — they should stay slightly pink inside for tenderness.
  3. Once cooked, return the onions to the pan.
  4. Add a splash of Worcestershire (optional).
  5. Toss everything together for 1 minute so flavors combine.

⭐ Tips for Perfect Liver Every Time

  • Soaking in milk is essential for a mild flavor.

  • Add onions back at the end to keep them soft and sweet.
  • A squeeze of lemon on top brightens the dish beautifully.
