Ingredients
- 500 grams Liver (beef or chicken)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the liver under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Remove any visible membranes or connective tissue and slice into even-sized pieces, about 1 cm thick.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 3
Add the liver slices to the marinade and ensure each piece is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse the liver.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are white and ashy.
Step 5
Remove the liver from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place on the preheated grill.
Step 6
Grill the liver for about 4–5 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through but still tender. The internal temperature should reach at least 70°C (160°F) for safety.
Step 7
Remove the liver from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Drizzle the grilled liver with lemon juice just before serving, adding a fresh zest and balancing flavors.
Step 9
Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
