A small lyrical digression. My bunnies went to kindergarten. Every evening, when I picked them up from kindergarten, they asked, “What did you cook at home?” One evening, when I heard the question, I answered, “Liver.” There was a cry from the elder one, “URRRAaa, little liver.” The parents turned in our direction in surprise, one mother looked at me suspiciously and attentively at my happy children. There was sincere pity and a silent question in the gaze: “What is it that mom feeds her boys that makes them SO happy about their liver?” Zai, at the dawn of our lives, was also suspicious of liver, saying that he would always prefer a good steak to liver. Well, where there is a steak, there is a chop. Then this recirculation was formed, so that it was as natural as possible, without tomato and sour cream, carrots and gravy. Now he himself often recalls “It’s been a long time since we ate liver steaks.”
Retzik, the way I love it - fast, easy, delicious. It is really so tender that the pieces can be separated with a plastic fork. Zay bought a thick edge of the liver, one with a minimum of small ducts. I even went to kiss him for such a piece. Zay didn’t refuse the kiss, but then admitted that he bought what they gave him. Maybe Zay to the Pondra saleswoman? Well, since God sent a piece of cheese to a crow somewhere, such a wonderful piece was formed, allow me to treat you to a liver prepared according to all the rules, of course, not a low-calorie dish at all, but very tasty
Peel the liver from films, veins, and cut into slices 5-7 mm thick
Half a glass of milk, add salt to taste. What, no one likes salted milk? I do this to avoid over-salting. Add more pepper and pour over the liver slices. If necessary, add milk to cover the liver.
At this stage, it happens that I put the container in the refrigerator, and it waits there for pre-dinner cooking.
Cut the onion into half rings, fill the bottom of the frying pan, literally pour a spoonful of vegetable oil, and let it wait in the wings.
We put another one to warm up, put the liver into bags and carefully but persistently beat it off on both sides.
Dip each piece in flour and fry on both sides, adding more oil if necessary.
Can be fried without breading and oil in a special saucepan
If I’m preparing liver just for Zay, then I simply fry it, turning it back and forth until the pink juice stops coming out - I get the most tender chop in a crispy crust. In this case, you can also bread it in breadcrumbs.
Today I propose to continue cooking.
Transfer the fried pieces to a simmer with onion, trying to arrange them in a checkerboard pattern. So fry and fry the whole liver.
Place the pan with the liver on a hot stove. After a few seconds it will begin to rustle. Add some boiling water here
so much so that the water is just barely visible, gurgling at the edge. The heat is below medium, cover with a lid and hold for 5 minutes. Then carefully turn over
The sequence of actions can be described in one sentence: soak the liver in milk, beat with a hammer, roll in flour, dip in egg and fry until tender. At the very end, I suggest adding fried onions and simmering lightly, then the dish will turn out even more aromatic and tender. Even on the second day, liver chops do not lose their attractiveness, they remain just as soft, so you can safely take them to work as a snack, complemented with a light salad and “doctor’s” bread.
Total cooking time: 40 minutes + 1 hour for liver soaking
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Yield: 6-8 servings
I pre-soaked the beef liver in milk for 1 hour to make it more tender.
I peeled off the top film (required!). Cut into thin pieces about 1 cm thick. Salt and pepper on both sides.
Dredged the liver steaks in flour. I laid it out on a piece of cling film and covered it with another layer of film on top so that splashes would not scatter throughout the kitchen when beating.
I worked it with a hammer - carefully, but not “to the holes” (if it suddenly breaks, it’s not scary, then it will be covered in egg batter). If you cut thinly, then you can only beat on one side.
Flour will prevent the liver from sticking too much to the cling film. After beating, I once again rolled the chops in flour - this time to seal the juices inside each piece. I lightly salted and peppered the chicken eggs and scrambled them with a fork. I dipped liver chops into the resulting mixture and immediately placed them in a hot frying pan with oil.
Fry over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side. Due to the fact that our liver is cut very thin, it fries quickly, and the “egg coat” prevents it from drying out.
When all the pieces were fried, I simmered the onions, cut into rings, in the remaining oil. Placed liver chops on top of the onion “pillow”. Cover with a lid and steam over low heat for 10 minutes (you can add a little boiling water).
Liver chops are best served hot, with fried onion rings and sour cream. I hope that you will like the recipe for beef liver chops and become your favorite. Bon appetit!
