Beef Liver With Balsamic Vinegar Recipes

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a large skillet until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet and drain on a paper towel.
• Remove 2 tablespoons drippings from skillet and set aside.
• In the remaining drippings, cook the onions over medium high heat, stirring often, for about 15 minutes or until soft and caramel colored. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Dredge liver.
• Heat the reserved bacon drippings in the skillet and add the liver, cooking on medium high heat until browned -- 2-3 minutes per side.
• Remove to plates and top with onions. Cover with foil to keep warm.
• Add vinegar and broth to skillet, cooking and stirring to loosen browned bits from bottom of skillet. Stir in the honey and bring to a boil, stirring for 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top of the onions and pour vinegar mixture over the top.

Steps:

• Trim liver of veins and membranes. Cut on the diagonal into wide, 1/4-inch slices.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet. Fry the onions in the butter over medium heat, stirring often, until nicely browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper and vinegar. Set aside.
• Dredge liver pieces with seasoned flour, and shake off excess. In a second large skillet, melt the clarified butter over high heat, and when very hot, drop in the liver pieces, a few at a time. Fry 30 seconds or so on each side. Remove to a serving dish. Liver should still be raw in the center.
• When all liver pieces have been fried, place the onions in the skillet containing the liver juices and reheat the onions thoroughly, stirring often. Add the liver to the onions, toss briefly to heat through, and turn out onto the serving dish. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Gently rinse liver slices under cold water, and place in a medium bowl. Pour in enough milk to cover. Let stand while preparing onions. (I like to soak up to an hour or two - whatever you have time for.) This step is SO important in taking the bitter taste of the liver out.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Separate onion rings, and saute them in butter until soft. Remove onions, and melt remaining butter in the skillet. Season the flour with salt and pepper, and put it in a shallow dish or on a plate. Drain milk from liver, and coat slices in the flour mixture.
• When the butter has melted, turn the heat up to medium-high, and place the coated liver slices in the pan. Cook until nice and brown on the bottom. Turn, and cook on the other side until browned. Add onions, and reduce heat to medium. Cook a bit longer to taste. Our family prefers the liver to just barely retain a pinkness on the inside when you cut to check. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Remove liver from vinegar soak, rinse well, and pat dry. Set aside. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-low heat with 1 tablespoon of fat. Add the onions and stir. Let the onions cook 5 to 10 minutes before stirring again. Stir the onions, scraping the bottom of the skillet. Continue cooking uncovered until the onions are tender, reduced, and caramelized; about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant. Pour in the balsamic, continue cooking until reduced and the onions are coated well. Transfer the caramelized onion mixture to a plate, sprinkle with the fish sauce, let it sit while you cook the liver. In the same pan, heat another tablespoon of fat over medium-high heat. In batches, cook the liver slices 3 to 5 minutes per side. Continue until all the slices are cooked. Place cooked liver, balsamic caramelized onions, salt, and thyme in a food processor. Pulse, breaking everything up, until fine. Slowly stream in the olive oil until the mixture begins to come together smoothly. Add more olive oil to thin the mixture out to your liking. Serve with vegetable sticks, apple slices, plantain crackers, or enjoy it as-is.
