Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 lb of beef liver, sliced into 1/2 inch strips
- 8 slices of bacon
- 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar and 1/4 cup of brown sugar until the sugar is dissolved to create the balsamic glaze.
- In a large skillet, cook 8 slices of bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
- Season 1 lb of beef liver strips with salt and pepper to taste.
- In the same skillet with the bacon grease, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned beef liver strips and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove the liver from the skillet and set aside.
- Deglaze the skillet with 1/4 cup of chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Pour the balsamic glaze into the skillet and stir to combine with the chicken broth. Allow the glaze to simmer and thicken for 2-3 minutes.
- Return the cooked liver and bacon to the skillet, tossing to coat in the balsamic glaze.
- Serve the balsamic glazed liver and bacon hot, with the remaining glaze drizzled over the top.
