Ingredients

• 500 grams beef liver
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 large, chopped onions
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 2 medium, sliced carrots
• 2 chopped celery stalks
• 3 medium, cubed potatoes
• 4 cups beef broth
• 0.5 cup red wine (optional)
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the beef liver under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Trim any connective tissues and cut the liver into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, and sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the sliced carrots and chopped celery to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Stir in the cubed potatoes and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 5

Push the vegetables to the sides of the pot, and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the liver pieces to the center of the pot and brown them slightly on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Pour in the beef broth and optional red wine, and add the tomato paste. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Mix in the dried thyme, rosemary, and the bay leaf. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the stew simmer for about 1 hour, or until the liver and vegetables are tender.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf and taste for seasoning, adding more salt or pepper as needed.

Step 10

Serve the stew hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
