Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef liver
- 2 tablespoons Flour (optional for thickening)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 Carrots
- 2 Celery stalks
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 4 cups Beef broth
- 2 Bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon Thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Rinse the beef liver under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Trim any visible connective tissue and cut the liver into 1-inch pieces.
If using flour for thickening, coat the liver pieces lightly in flour. This is optional and can be skipped for a gluten-free version.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the liver pieces and sear them for about 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the liver and set it aside.
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Stir in the chopped carrots, celery, and potatoes, cooking for another 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth and add the bay leaves and thyme. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Return the seared liver to the pot. Season the stew with salt and black pepper.
Bring the stew to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for 60-75 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the vegetables are tender and the stew has thickened.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a burst of freshness.
