Equipment

  • Chef's Knife
  • Skillet
  • Frying Pan
  • Wooden Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 21 ounces beef liver
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 onion, sliced into strips
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions
 

  • Soak the beef liver in the buttermilk and let it rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes or up to an hour.
  • Discard the buttermilk and pat dry the liver with paper towels.
  • Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and dredge in flour. Shake off any excess.
  • In a frying pan, melt the butter and cook the livers for 3 minutes on each side until they change color.
  • Remove them from the pan once cooked.
  • Add olive oil to the pan, along with the onions. Cook until they become tender with occasional stirring.
  • Bring back the liver to the pan and cook together for another minute.

Notes

  • Tip 1: Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container and consume it within 2-3 days.
  • Tip 2: You can freeze leftovers in a ziplock bag and use it within 2-3 months.
  • Tip 3: I recommend reheating beef liver in the oven until it’s warmed up. Sprinkle broth or brush with water to lock in the moisture.
