Ingredients for Beef Liver And Onions Marinated

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • Spicy Brown Mustard
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 pound beef liver
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 large onion

How to Make Beef Liver And Onions Marinated

  1. In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup yellow mustard, 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, and 1/4 cup water.
  2. Slice 1 pound beef liver into 1/4-inch thick strips.
  3. Place liver strips in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over liver, ensuring it's fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor).
  4. Slice 1 large onion into thin rings.
  5. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil (vegetable or canola) in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Add the marinated liver to the skillet.
  7. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liver is browned on all sides.
  8. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the liver is cooked through and tender. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
