Quick & Easy Beef Liver with Onions Recipe
Beef liver with onions is a beloved classic dish known for its rich flavor and exceptional nutritional profile.
Often considered a superfood, beef liver is packed with essential nutrients such as iron, vitamin A, B12, and high-quality protein, making it a fantastic option for anyone seeking a health-conscious meal. The process of caramelizing onions enhances their natural sweetness, perfectly complementing the earthy taste of the liver.
This dish is quick to prepare and can easily fit into a busy weeknight schedule, yet its comforting, hearty flavor makes it suitable for a special occasion. Soaking the liver in milk helps reduce its strong taste and ensures a tender texture. When cooked just right, the liver is soft and flavorful, pairing wonderfully with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad for a balanced and satisfying meal.

Prepare the Liver:

Cook the Liver:
- Drain and pat the liver slices dry with paper towels.
- If desired, dredge the liver slices in flour seasoned with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Add the remaining olive oil or butter to the skillet over medium heat.
- Cook liver slices for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness.
Combine and Serve:
- Return the onions to the skillet, mixing them with the liver. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
