Smothered Beef Liver Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 1 pound beef liver
• cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• cup water
• teaspoon dried oregano

Directions

1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute the onions until they become soft but not browned. Once done, remove the onions from the skillet using a slotted spoon and set them aside.
2. Slice the beef liver into serving-sized pieces and remove any membrane that may be attached.
3. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Coat the liver pieces in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly covered.
4. Place the floured liver pieces into the hot skillet. Quickly brown the liver on each side, about 1-2 minutes per side.
5. Once the liver is browned, place the reserved sauted onions on top of the liver pieces.
6. Pour the tomato sauce and water over the liver and onions. Gently lift the liver pieces to allow the sauce to coat the bottom of the pan.
7. Sprinkle the dried oregano over the top, then reduce the heat to low. Let the dish simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the flavors meld together.
8. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Be careful not to overcook the liver, as it can become tough.
9. Serve hot, ideally with mashed potatoes and green beans for a complete meal.
