Beef liver is very useful for our body, but preparing it tasty is not so easy, but this wonderful recipe will help make the liver very soft and tender.

Good to know

To make the liver more tender, you can soak it in milk. It is enough to keep the product in milk for 40-60 minutes. Then the pieces need to be dried very thoroughly and rolled in flour. Thanks to the flour breading, the batter will cover the liver more evenly.

The batter is prepared according to a variety of recipes. It is very important that the dough reaches the desired consistency. Too liquid batter will drain from the pieces, as a result, the liver will be fried separately, the dough separately. But too thick a batter is not suitable, as it will turn out tough. The optimal consistency is the thickness of liquid sour cream.

When preparing the batter, be sure to use spices, otherwise the dish will turn out too bland.

90 gr. hard cheese;
2 eggs;

3 tablespoons of mayonnaise;
1 teaspoon turmeric;

salt to taste;
vegetable oil.

Place the liver one piece at a time in the frying pan, placing them at a distance from each other. Fry for 2-3 minutes, turn over and fry for the same amount of time. Fry over medium heat so that the liver has time to cook.

Useful notes

You can achieve tenderness and softness of the liver only by cutting it correctly and frying it in batter;
1 cm – maximum thickness of each piece;
Sprinkling the liver with soda will also add airiness. Leave this for an hour and then rinse thoroughly with running water;
5 minutes is the maximum time that you can fry 1 side, previously coated with batter;
salt should also be added at a certain point. Salt added before cooking promotes greater release of juices, which will cause the offal to turn into rubber during frying. When the liver is cooked, without removing it from the pan and turning off the heat, you need to add salt. Then cover with a lid and do not touch for 3-5 minutes;
Butter will only add additional flavor to the battered liver. Place a little oil on the piece you just removed from the frying pan;
the first step to toughness is to cover the breaded liver with a lid while cooking;
A thick paper towel, on which the pieces are placed immediately from the frying pan, will help absorb excess vegetable oil;
A perfectly hot frying pan helps to cook the liver as quickly as possible, maintaining its juiciness and tenderness.
