How to Make Beef Liver And Onions With White Wine

  1. In a resealable plastic bag, combine flour, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add sliced beef liver to the bag; shake to coat evenly with the flour mixture. Set aside.
  3. Heat 2-3 tablespoons of butter and the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the sliced onions and cook until softened and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  5. Transfer the cooked onions to a side dish. Sprinkle with sage, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  6. Increase heat to high. Add the remaining butter and oil to the skillet.
  7. Add the seasoned liver strips to the hot skillet and sear for 5 minutes per side, or until browned and the inside is slightly pink. Do not overcrowd the pan; work in batches if necessary.
  8. Return the cooked onions to the skillet with the liver.
  9. In a separate small bowl whisk together beef broth and white wine
  10. Add beef broth and white wine mixture to the skillet; scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  11. Reduce the liquid over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
  12. Plate the liver and onions. Pour the thickened sauce over the top.
  13. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
