Preparation: 15 minutes

Cooking: 30 minutes

Total: 45 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

1 lb beef liver, sliced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
4 tbsp butter
1 large onion, thinly sliced
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup beef broth
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

In a shallow dish, mix together flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the beef liver slices in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the liver slices and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Transfer the liver to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add onion and mushrooms, cooking until they start to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Add thyme, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Return the cooked liver slices to the skillet and spoon the onion-mushroom gravy over them. Cover the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the liver is cooked through and tender.
Serve the smothered beef liver hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish.
