Liver and Onions Recipe (Rich, Tender & Flavorful)
Ingredients
500 g beef or lamb liver (sliced into bite-size pieces)
2 large onions (thinly sliced)
3 tbsp butter or oil
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup beef broth
1 tbsp flour (optional, for thicker sauce)
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice (helps reduce bitterness)
Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Liver
Rinse the liver and pat dry.
Optional (recommended): soak in milk or water with lemon for 20–30 minutes to reduce strong flavor.
2. Caramelize the Onions
Heat 1 tbsp butter/oil in a pan.
Add sliced onions and cook on medium heat until soft, golden, and slightly sweet (10–15 minutes).
Remove and set aside.
3. Cook the Liver
In the same pan, add remaining butter/oil.
Add liver pieces in a single layer.
Cook 2–3 minutes per side (do not overcook or it becomes tough).
Remove and set aside.
4. Make the Sauce
