Preparation
Step 1
How to make beef liver gravy? First, prepare the ingredients. I’m using beef liver, but you can substitute pork, chicken, or turkey liver - just note the cooking time may change. The liver can be fresh or frozen. If frozen, thaw it beforehand on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.
Step 2
Rinse the liver, cover it with water, and leave for 30 minutes to reduce bitterness. Drain the water, rinse again, pat dry, and remove any membranes and veins.
Step 3
Cut the liver into small strips.
Step 4
Peel the onion and slice it into half-rings. To prevent tearing while cutting, rinse the onion and the knife with cold water.
Step 5
Rinse the dill, pat dry, and chop finely.
Step 6
Add flour and spices to the water and mix thoroughly until smooth, breaking up any lumps.
Step 7
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté, stirring, for 3-5 minutes until golden.
Step 8
Add the sliced liver and sauté, stirring, for 5-7 minutes (or a bit longer) until cooked through. The time is approximate and depends on the liver used (from a younger or older animal) and your preference. Adjust to your stove, ingredients, and taste.
Step 9
While stirring constantly, pour the flour mixture into the liver and bring it to a gentle boil over low heat.
Step 10
Add the dill. Simmer the gravy for 1 more minute. If needed, add more spices to taste. Turn off the heat.
Step 11
Serve the gravy with any side dish, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs. Enjoy your meal!
