Smothered Liver With Onions Food

SMOTHERED BEEF LIVER

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onions until soft, but not browned. Remove from pan using a slotted spoon, and set aside. Slice the liver into serving size pieces, and remove any membrane.
• In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt and pepper. Dredge the liver in the flour mixture, and place into the hot skillet. Brown the liver quickly on each side. Place reserved onions on top of liver pieces. Pour the tomato sauce and water over everything in the pan, lifting the liver pieces to let the tomato sauce coat the bottom of the pan.
• Sprinkle the oregano over everything, and simmer over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Be careful not to overcook, or liver will be tough. I serve this with mashed potatoes and green beans.

Steps:

• Place the flour and seasoning salt in a bowl and whisk to mix.
• Pre-heat a large skillet on medium-high meat. Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.
• Dredge the beef liver in the seasoned flour mixture and brown on each side for one minute. Remove the liver and all fatty bits and impurities from the skillet.
• Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the skillet. Add 4 tablespoons of the flour mixture to the skillet and stir. Cook on medium heat until it starts to turn a dark golden brown.
• Stir in the water and simmer until the gravy starts to thicken. Stir in the kitchen bouquet and more water if needed. Put the liver back into the skillet and top with the onion slices.
• Simmer on low for 15-20 minutes or until the onions are tender.

SMOTHERED LIVER

Steps:

• Marinate the liver in a mixture of the vinegar, Worcestershire, dry mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper for 30 to 60 minutes.
• Remove the liver from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Pat the liver dry and dust it with flour. In a heavy skillet, over a medium high heat, sear the liver in a little of the reserved bacon grease. Turn the liver only once to avoid overcooking. Remove the liver to a platter and cover with loosely tented foil to keep warm.
• Drain the excess bacon grease from the skillet. Place the reserved marinade and chicken stock in the skillet, over a medium high heat, and reduce by half. Pour this sauce over the liver and serve with the crisp bacon slices and pickled serranos or jalapenos on the side.
