Main Ingredients

For the Soup

Method

Preparing the Beef Liver

  1. 1

    Slice the Beef Liver

    Thinly slice the beef liver into pieces about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Season the Flour

    In a shallow dish, mix the flour with salt and black pepper. Dredge each slice of liver in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Cooking the Liver and Onions

  1. 3

    Cook the Onions

    In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they are soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Remove onions from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 4

    Cook the Liver

    In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter. Add the floured liver slices, cooking them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Do not overcook to prevent toughness.

  3. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Return the cooked onions to the skillet with the liver, tossing gently to combine. Cook for an additional minute, then remove from heat and serve warm.

Preparing the Soup

  1. 6

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the carrots, celery, and onion into small, uniform pieces.

  2. 7

    Cook the Soup

    In a large pot, combine the beef broth, chopped vegetables, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 8

    Finish the Soup

    Remove the bay leaf and stir in the parsley just before serving. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
