Ingredients for Beef Liver Creole
- Beef Liver
- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
- Green Pepper
- Garlic Clove
- Stewed Tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1-2 teaspoons hot sauce (or to taste)
How to Make Beef Liver Creole
- Pat the beef liver strips dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Dredge the liver strips in the flour, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the liver strips and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through (approximately 5-7 minutes). Remove the liver from the skillet and set aside.
- If needed, add a little more oil to the skillet. Add the chopped celery, onion, and green bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes (undrained), brown sugar, water, and hot sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, return the cooked liver to the skillet, and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, or until the liver is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and hot sauce as needed.
- Serve hot over rice or mashed potatoes.
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!
