How to Make Beef Liver Onions Curried

  1. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
  2. Thinly slice 2 large onions (about 1/8 inch thick) and add to the skillet.
  3. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon paprika, and 1 teaspoon curry powder.
  4. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until onions are deeply caramelized and tender.
  5. While the onions cook, cut 1 pound beef liver into 1 1/2 to 2-inch cubes.
  6. Place the liver cubes in a large plastic bag with 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Shake the bag until the liver is evenly coated.
  8. In a separate clean skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over high heat until very hot (it should shimmer).
  9. Add the liver cubes to the hot oil and sear on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  10. Season with additional salt, pepper, and curry powder to taste.
  11. Gently fold the seared liver into the caramelized onions. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  12. Serve immediately over rice, couscous, polenta, or pasta. Potatoes also make a delicious side dish.
