Ingredients
- 500 grams beef liver
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 250 milliliters milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Start by soaking the beef liver in milk. Place the slices in a bowl and cover them with milk. Allow them to soak for 20-30 minutes to reduce any bitterness. While the liver is soaking, prepare the remaining ingredients.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix the flour, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
After soaking, drain the liver slices and pat them dry with paper towels. Dredge each slice in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
Step 5
Add the onions to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes, until they are golden and caramelized. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove the onions and garlic from the skillet and set aside.
Step 6
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Once melted and hot, add the coated liver slices. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and just cooked through, careful not to overcook as liver can become tough.
Step 7
Return the caramelized onions and garlic to the skillet, spooning them over the liver slices. Cook together for an additional 1-2 minutes to blend the flavors.
Step 8
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately with your choice of side, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
