Liver & Onions & Bacon

Cooking Steps

Trim any blood vessels from your liver and slice it into approximately three or four equal portions. Set aside.

In a large skillet, fry the bacon strips over medium-high heat until crispy. Remove the bacon to an oven-safe pan and put in the oven (set low) to keep it warm. Reserve a tablespoon or two of bacon fat (put it in a separate dish) and add a tablespoon or two of butter to the frying pan. Turn the heat down to medium and add your onions to the pan. Stir the onions as they caramelize, being careful to not let them burn. (This should take ~20-30 minutes)

After the onions have caramelized, put them in a bowl and cover with foil. Put them in the oven with the bacon to keep warm.

In a small bowl, mix a few tablespoons of potato starch with a good pinch of salt and some fresh black pepper. Sprinkle a thin coat of this on the slices of liver. (Be sure to coat both sides)

Give your pan a quick wipe down and turn the heat back up to medium-high. Add the bacon fat along with a couple tbsp of butter to the pan. When the oil is hot enough to make a drop of water sputter, add the liver slices and fry for approximately two minutes before turning. Fry for another two minutes and then remove the liver from the pan.

Plate each slice of liver with a generous portion of caramelized onions and crumbled bacon.

Ingredients

  • 1lb Grass-fed beef, calf or bison liver (If you find the flavor of liver to be too strong, you can marinate your liver overnight in a water with lemon juice or vinegar, lightly smashed fresh garlic, and herbs like bay leaf, rosemary, and thyme. If you like the flavor of liver, simply forgo this step and prepare it fresh.)
