--------ADVERTISEMENT--------
This classic dish combines tender beef liver with sweet caramelized onions, creating a rich and flavorful meal. Ensure not to overcook the liver for the best texture and taste.
#### Ingredients:
- ¼ cup flour
- 1 lb beef liver
- ¼-½ cup butter
- ½ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp pepper
- Olive oil, as needed
- 1-2 tbsp fresh minced sage
- 2 cups thinly sliced onions
- ½ cup beef stock
- 1 tbsp minced Italian parsley
- ¼ cup dry white wine
#### Steps:
1. **Prepare the Coating**:
- In a plastic bag, combine the flour, salt, and pepper.
- Cut the liver into ½-inch slices and place them in the bag. Shake to coat the liver pieces evenly with the flour mixture. This step helps to soften the taste of the liver.
2. **Caramelize the Onions**:
- In a skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of butter with a dash of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced onions and sauté until they become tender and develop a glossy sheen.
- Once caramelized, transfer the onions to a dish and season with salt and pepper.
3. **Cook the Liver**:
- In the same skillet, add 4 tablespoons of butter and a dash of olive oil. Heat until melted and hot.
- Add the liver slices and cook for about 5 minutes, ensuring they brown but remain tender inside. Liver is best when cooked to medium rare.
4. **Combine and Heat Through**:
- Return the caramelized onions to the skillet with the liver. Stir to combine and heat through.
5. **Create the Sauce**:
- Transfer the liver and onions to a serving plate.
- In the skillet, add the beef stock and white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Cook until the liquid reduces and thickens into a sauce.
6. **Serve**:
- Pour the sauce over the liver and onions.
- Garnish with minced parsley.
- Serve immediately.
### Tips:
- **Caramelizing Onions**: Take your time to properly caramelize the onions. This process brings out their natural sweetness and enhances the overall flavor of the dish.
- **Cooking the Liver**: Do not overcook the liver. It should be tender and slightly pink inside for the best texture and taste.
- **Deglazing**: Ensure you scrape all the flavorful bits from the bottom of the skillet when deglazing to incorporate them into the sauce.
Enjoy this delicious and nutritious dish, perfect for a hearty meal!
