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!

LIVER AND ONIONS



Liver and Onions image

I grew up eating liver cooked this way, although without the onions, because this was the way Mum did it. I love it, and always have. Mum never liked onions, but once I married and left home, I learned to love them, so I just added them to the "recipe" - which by the way until now has never been written down.

I learned a long time ago most anything which is fried can be baked. So I tried it with liver and onions. The house didn't stink for three days and the meat was much more tender.

Categories     Onions

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons butter
2 large onions, sliced thin
1 lb beef liver, sliced about 1/4 inch and cleaned
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 cup Wondra Flour
2 tablespoons coconut oil or 2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • Melt butter over medium heat in a large skillet and add sliced onions. Cook until tender.
  • Mix the flour and seasoned salt together on plate, large bowl, or ziplock bag.
  • Dredge each piece of liver in flour mix being sure to cover all of the liver. Coat all of the slices of liver.
  • Remove the onions from the skillet and keep warm.
  • Add 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons coconut or canola oil to skillet and turn heat up to medium high. I prefer coconut oil.
  • Add dredged liver to skillet and cook on each side for 2-3 minutes. Don't overcrowd the skillet. It will take 3-4 batches to cook the liver. Move to a plate and keep warm between batches.
  • Once all the liver is cooked, reheat the onions then place over the livers.
  • You can cover with a brown, cream, beef, or mushroom gravy if you prefer.
