Ingredients
- 500 grams beef liver
- 2 large onions
- 240 milliliters milk
- 60 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the beef liver under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Place the liver slices into a shallow dish and pour the milk over them. Let them soak for 15-20 minutes to help reduce the strong flavor of the liver.
Step 3
While the liver is soaking, peel and thinly slice the onions.
Step 4
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown, about 12-15 minutes. Remove the onions and set aside.
Step 6
Combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika in a shallow dish or plate. Remove the liver from the milk and dredge each slice in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Step 7
In the same skillet used for the onions, add the remaining butter and oil and heat over medium-high heat.
Step 8
Add the liver slices to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned and just barely cooked through. Avoid overcooking, as the liver can become tough.
Step 9
Return the caramelized onions to the skillet, arranging them around and over the liver slices. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
Step 10
Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a finishing touch and serve warm. This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad.
