Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef liver
- 3 tablespoons ghee or clarified butter
- 2 medium onions, diced
- 3 medium carrots, sliced
- 3 stalks celery stalks, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 4 medium red potatoes, cubed
- 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1 14.5-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Rinse the beef liver under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Trim any membranes and slice the liver into bite-sized pieces.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of ghee over medium heat. Add the liver slices in batches, and sear them until browned on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the liver and set aside.
Add the remaining ghee to the pot, followed by the diced onions, sliced carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the cubed potatoes, stirring to combine. Pour in the beef broth and crushed tomatoes, bringing the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and return the seared liver to the pot. Stir in the chopped thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper, and add the bay leaf.
Cover the pot and let the stew simmer gently for about 90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liver is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Remove the bay leaf, taste, and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy the stew warm as a wholesome meal.
