LIVER AND ONIONS



Liver and Onions image

This old-fashioned liver and onions recipe is made just like my mom used to, with the garlic and black pepper both being freshly ground in a molcajete. This dish is a favorite in our home!

Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 6

1¼ lb. liver steaks (I like the steaks that are about 3/8ths of an inch thick)
2 garlic cloves
6 black peppercorn kernels
1 large onion (sliced)
3 tbsp. canola or vegetable oil
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Grind the garlic cloves and black peppercorn kernels in your mortar. Add 1 tablespoon of water after you grind them to form a paste. Spread this paste onto the liver steaks, and season with salt. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet to medium heat, then add the onions and sauté very quickly for about 1-2 minutes. Set aside in a bowl.
  • Reduce the heat and add the liver steaks to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes (depending on the thickness of the liver steaks) until the bottom sides turn a little brown around the edges, then flip to cook on the other side for 3 more minutes.
  • Return the onions to the skillet and stir. Keep cooking until the onions are slightly browned. Serve promptly and enjoy! I love to add some serrano peppers to the skillets while cooking the onions too. But that is a personal preference.

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!
