Thinly sliced beef liver is quickly seared over high heat, then finished with apple and onion and topped with plenty of black pepper and chili powder. This Berlin-style classic depends on getting the timing right.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the liver

5 min

Pat the beef liver dry with paper towels. Lightly dust it with a thin coating of flour, then season with salt and black pepper.

2

Sauté the onion and apple

6 min

Cook the onion and apple slices in half of the butter for 6 minutes, until softened and lightly caramelized. Remove them from the pan.

3

Sear the liver

5 min

Heat the remaining butter over high heat. Quickly sear the liver slices for 45 seconds on each side; do not overcook them.

4

Combine and serve

2 min

Return the onion and apple to the pan, toss with the chili powder and serve hot.

Reminder

Do not overcook the liver; prolonged cooking makes it tough and rubbery. Allergen: contains wheat (gluten).
