Ingredients for Beef Liver With Sour Cream

  • Beef Liver
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Vegetable Oil
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • Beef Consomme
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

How to Make Beef Liver With Sour Cream

  1. Cut 1 pound of beef liver into 2-inch long strips, 1/2-inch thick.
  2. Pat the liver strips dry with paper towels.
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme.
  4. Dredge the liver strips in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the liver strips and sauté for 3-4 minutes per side, until well browned.
  6. Remove the liver from the skillet and set aside.
  7. Add 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
  8. Return the liver to the skillet. Pour in 1 cup beef consommé and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the liver is tender.
  9. Just before serving, stir in 1/2 cup sour cream and heat through. Do not boil.
  10. Serve immediately over steamed rice and carrots.

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!
