🥩 Beef Liver and Onions – A Classic Done Right!

Tender slices of beef liver, seasoned just right, pan-fried to golden perfection and topped with caramelized onions that melt in your mouth? YES, PLEASE. 💯 This dish is rich in flavor, packed with nutrients, and surprisingly easy to whip up for a cozy weeknight meal. 😍


🛒 Ingredients:

  • 1 lb beef liver, sliced thin
  • 2 large onions, sliced into rings
  • ½ cup flour (for dredging)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (optional but delicious)
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup beef broth or water (optional for deglazing)

👩‍🍳 How to Make It:

1️⃣ Prep the Liver
👉 Soak the liver slices in milk for 30 minutes if you want to mellow out the flavor — this step is totally optional but recommended! Drain and pat dry.

2️⃣ Season & Dredge
👉 Mix flour with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Dredge liver slices lightly in the seasoned flour.

3️⃣ Caramelize the Onions
👉 In a large skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp olive oil. Add onions and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until golden and soft (about 15 minutes). Remove and set aside.

4️⃣ Cook the Liver
👉 In the same skillet, add remaining butter and oil. Cook liver slices for about 2–3 minutes per side — just until browned and cooked through (don’t overcook or they’ll be tough!).

5️⃣ Finish It Off
👉 Add onions back to the pan, pour in a splash of broth to deglaze (optional), and let everything simmer for 2 more minutes so the flavors blend beautifully.

  • Steamed green beans or buttery peas
