Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Liver (beef or chicken)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Instructions
Rinse the liver under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Remove any visible membranes or connective tissue and slice into even-sized pieces, about 1 cm thick.
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the liver slices to the marinade and ensure each piece is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse the liver.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are white and ashy.
Remove the liver from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place on the preheated grill.
Grill the liver for about 4–5 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through but still tender. The internal temperature should reach at least 70°C (160°F) for safety.
Remove the liver from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Drizzle the grilled liver with lemon juice just before serving, adding a fresh zest and balancing flavors.
Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
