How to Cook Ox Liver with Gravy

Ingredients:

• 500g ox liver, sliced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons butter or oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup beef or chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ox Liver
   • Pat the ox liver slices dry with paper towels.
   • Season them with salt and pepper, then lightly coat them with flour on both sides. Shake off any excess flour.
2. Sear the Liver Slices
   • Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
   • Add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil to the pan.
   • Working in batches, sear the liver slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking. Transfer the seared liver slices to a plate and set aside.
3. Make the Gravy
   • In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter or oil if needed.
   • Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
   • Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Simmer with Broth and Flavorings
   • Stir in the beef or chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste.
   • Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for added flavor.
   • Let the gravy simmer for 5-7 minutes until it starts to thicken slightly.
5. Combine and Finish Cooking
   • Return the seared liver slices to the skillet, along with any juices accumulated on the plate.
   • Simmer the liver slices in the gravy for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the liver is cooked through but still tender. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
   • Serve the ox liver with gravy hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious gravy.
