Beef Liver Bites with Caramelized Onions
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef liver, sliced into bite-sized pieces
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Remove the caramelized onions from the skillet and set aside.
- In a shallow dish, mix the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the beef liver pieces in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the floured beef liver pieces and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.
- Pour in the beef broth and stir to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the broth to reduce slightly.
- Add the caramelized onions back to the skillet and stir to combine with the beef liver. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat through.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the butter until melted and well incorporated.
- Transfer the beef liver bites with caramelized onions to a serving platter and serve hot as an appetizer or main course. Enjoy!
