How to Make Beef Liver Chinese Style

  1. In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon black peppercorns.
  2. Add 1 pound beef liver (sliced thinly) to the marinade. Marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove the liver from the marinade, gently shaking off the peppercorns. Reserve the marinade.
  4. Strain the marinade through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the solids.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the strained marinade with 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1/4 cup beef stock. Set aside.
  6. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup sliced onions and 1 cup sliced mushrooms and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  7. Add the sautéed onions and mushrooms to the prepared marinade mixture.
  8. Add the marinated liver to the wok or skillet and sauté until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  9. Pour the marinade-onion-mushroom mixture over the liver. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
  10. Serve the Beef Liver Chinese Style immediately over a bed of stir-fried bean sprouts.
