Savory Liver and Onions Smothered in Gravy
Excellent recipe for savory liver and onions. Served with mashed potatoes and smothered in gravy. Ingredients: butter, onions, beef liver, and seasoning.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 large yellow onions
- 16 ounce package beef liver or calf liver
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups milk
- 2/4 cups all-purpose flour
- mashed potatoes optional
- spinach optional
Instructions
-
Melt Butter
When making this recipe I do like using an electric skillet. Set skillet temperature at 200 degrees Fahrenheit and melt butter.
-
Add Onions
Slice onions 1/4 inch thick and place onions on top of butter.
-
Add Liver
Remove liver from packaging and place sliced livers on top of onions.
-
Season
Season with salt and pepper. I kinda go heavy with the pepper (see photo below). Increase skillet temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and cover skillet. Cook liver and onions for about 7 minutes.
-
Cook/Simmer
Remove skillet lid and turn livers over and season with salt and pepper. Return lid and turn temperature down to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and continue cooking for about 30 minutes.
-
Gravy
I make the gravy in 2 batches (I don’t know why, I just do). Place 1 cup milk with 1/4 cup all-purpose flour in a large glass and whisk to combine until smooth. Add this mixture to the skillet.
Make another batch of milk and flour whisking together until smooth and add to the skillet.
At this time I slide the livers and onions to one side of the pan while stirring the gravy in the skillet and then slide them back over.
If the gravy is too thick feel free to add more milk to get the consistency desired.
Turn heat down and simmer. During this time make your side dishes like the mashed potatoes and spinach.

Serve & Enjoy!
