Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Liver

    Rinse the beef liver under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Slice the liver into thin strips (about 1/2 inch thick).

  2. 2

    Slice the Vegetables

    Peel and slice the onions into thin rings. Mince the garlic cloves. Remove the seeds from the green bell pepper and slice it into thin strips. Dice the tomato.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Onions

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they are translucent and lightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Peppers

    Add the minced garlic and sliced green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the peppers are tender.

  3. 5

    Cook the Liver

    Increase the heat to medium-high, and add the sliced beef liver to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the liver is browned but still slightly pink in the center.

  4. 6

    Add Tomato

    Stir in the diced tomato and cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and the tomato is softened.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    If desired, squeeze fresh lime juice over the dish and sprinkle with chopped cilantro before serving. Serve hot with rice or tortillas.
