Garnished with fresh parsley and perfectly paired with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread, this dish is a hearty, satisfying option for liver enthusiasts and adventurous eaters alike.
Rinse the beef liver under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Slice into approximately 1/4-inch thick strips.
Season the liver slices with salt and black pepper. Dredge the slices in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and butter. Once the butter has melted and starts to sizzle, add the coated liver slices.
Sear the liver for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned but still slightly pink in the center. Remove slices from the skillet and place them on a plate. Set aside.
Peel and slice the yellow onion into thin rings. Seed and slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves.
In the same skillet, add the onion slices and bell peppers. Saute for about 5-6 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
Add the minced garlic and paprika to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour the beef stock into the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow the liquid to reduce slightly, about 3 minutes.
Return the liver slices back to the skillet and toss gently with the vegetables. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to reheat the liver and allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
