Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients

For the Liver

  • 1 pound Fresh Beef Liver Look for firm, bright-colored liver for optimal flavor and tenderness.
  • 1/4 cup Flour Lightly coating the liver in flour creates a crispy exterior that enhances texture.

For the Sauté

  • 1 large Onion Sweet onions are best; they add a caramelized sweetness.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Fresh garlic enhances the dish with aromatic qualities.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter or Oil Unsalted butter adds richness; using oil allows for high-heat cooking.

Instructions

How to Make Savory Sautéed Beef Liver

  • Rinse the beef liver under cold water and pat dry. Slice the liver into manageable pieces for even cooking.
  • In a skillet, heat butter or oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • Lightly coat each liver piece in flour, shaking off the excess for a crispy exterior.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the liver pieces to the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned but slightly pink in the center.
  • Season the liver with salt and pepper while cooking. Serve hot, paired with sides like mashed potatoes.

Notes

Soaking beef liver in milk for an hour can improve tenderness. Do not overcook to prevent it from becoming tough.
