Ingredients

• 1 pound Beef liver
• 2 tablespoons Flour (optional for thickening)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 Carrots
• 2 Celery stalks
• 3 medium Potatoes
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 4 cups Beef broth
• 2 Bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon Thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the beef liver under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Trim any visible connective tissue and cut the liver into 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

If using flour for thickening, coat the liver pieces lightly in flour. This is optional and can be skipped for a gluten-free version.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the liver pieces and sear them for about 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the liver and set it aside.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Stir in the chopped carrots, celery, and potatoes, cooking for another 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the beef broth and add the bay leaves and thyme. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 7

Return the seared liver to the pot. Season the stew with salt and black pepper.

Step 8

Bring the stew to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for 60-75 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the vegetables are tender and the stew has thickened.

Step 9

Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a burst of freshness.
