Equipment
- large fryin pan
- tongs
- mixing bowl
- kitchen paper towels
Ingredients
- ox liver
- all purpose flour
- paprika
- salt and pepper
- large onions
- vegetable oil
- butter
- beef broth
- fresh parsley
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ground paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a seasoned flour mixture.
- Dip each slice of ox liver into the seasoned flour, ensuring it is coated evenly. Shake off any excess flour and set the coated liver slices aside.
- In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the butter and allow it to melt.
- Carefully place the coated liver slices into the hot pan. Fry the liver for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are nicely browned. Be cautious not to overcook the liver to maintain its tenderness.
- Remove the fried liver slices from the pan and place them on a plate lined with kitchen paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- In the same pan, add the thinly sliced onions. Cook the onions until they become soft and caramelized, stirring occasionally.
- Pour the beef or chicken broth into the pan with the onions, and let it simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly to form a delicious onion gravy.
- Return the fried liver slices to the pan, coating them in the onion gravy. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the liver to absorb the flavors of the gravy.
- Garnish the fried ox liver with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes
Ox liver cooks quickly, so be mindful not to overcook it to maintain its tenderness and flavor.
If you prefer a richer flavor, you can add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or balsamic vinegar to the onion gravy.
Ensure the liver slices are evenly coated with the seasoned flour to achieve a delicious and crispy exterior.
Leftover fried ox liver can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat it gently on the stovetop before serving.
