Ingredients

• 1 lb beef liver, sliced
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1/4 cup flour
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Season the beef liver slices with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the liver slices and sear on both sides until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the onions. Cook until softened and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
4. Add the mushrooms and garlic to the skillet and cook until mushrooms are golden brown.
5. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
6. Slowly pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until the gravy thickens.
7. Return the liver slices to the skillet and simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the liver is cooked to your desired doneness.
8. Serve the smothered beef liver hot, with mashed potatoes or rice on the side.
