Beef Liver and Onions

Beef liver and onions is a classic dish that many people enjoy. Here’s a simple recipe for you:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound beef liver, sliced
• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 tablespoons butter or cooking oil
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (optional)
• 1 cup beef broth (optional)
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Liver:
   • Rinse the beef liver under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
   • Cut the liver into slices, about 1/2 inch thick.
   • Season the liver slices with salt and pepper.
2. Coat with Flour:
   • Place the flour in a shallow dish and dredge each liver slice in the flour, making sure to coat both sides evenly.
3. Cook the Liver:
   • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter or cooking oil over medium-high heat.
   • Add the liver slices to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until browned. Be careful not to overcook, as liver can become tough if cooked too long. You want it to be pink in the center.
   • Remove the liver slices from the skillet and set them aside.
4. Cook the Onions:
   • In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter or oil.
   • Add the thinly sliced onions and cook over medium heat until they are soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Combine and Serve:
   • If using Worcestershire sauce, add it to the onions and stir to combine.
   • If you prefer a saucier dish, you can add beef broth to the skillet at this point.
   • Return the cooked liver slices to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing them to heat through and absorb some of the flavors from the onions and sauce.
6. Garnish and Serve:
   • Garnish the dish with fresh parsley if desired.
   • Serve the beef liver and onions hot, paired with your favorite side dishes such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.

Enjoy your delicious beef liver and onions!
