Ingredients
1 pound beef liver The primary component, providing rich nutrients and protein for the dish
Onions Adds sweetness and depth
2 tablespoons olive oil Used for sautéing to add flavor and prevent sticking
1 large onion, sliced Helps mellow the liver’s strong taste when cooked together
3 cloves garlic, minced Infuses aroma and depth into the recipe
1 teaspoon salt Enhances the overall taste of the dish
1/2 teaspoon black pepper Provides mild heat and aroma
1 teaspoon paprika Contributes smoky undertones
1 tablespoon lemon juice Aids in tenderizing and brightening the flavors
Instructions
1-Start your beef liver preparation: rinsing 500g of beef liver under cold water to clean it, then pat it dry. Slice the beef liver into 1/2-inch thick pieces for even cooking, which helps maintain its tender texture. This method works well when searing quickly to achieve medium-rare doneness in a few minutes on each side.
2-Next, soak the slices in milk or lemon water for 30 minutes to reduce any strong flavors and improve tenderness. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sauté 1 large sliced onion until it’s golden, about 5-7 minutes. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for another minute to build aroma.
3-First, remove the liver from the soaking liquid and pat it dry before seasoning with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon paprika.
4-Place the seasoned slices in the hot skillet and cook each side for 2-3 minutes until browned but still slightly pink inside to keep it tender.
5-Drizzle 1 tablespoon lemon juice over the cooked liver and stir gently to let the flavors blend.
6-Serve right away with sides like steamed vegetables, adapting for dietary needs such as keto by choosing low-carb options.
