• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the beef liver into bite-sized pieces. Remove any visible veins or membranes to ensure tenderness.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the carrots, potatoes, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the vegetables to begin softening.

Step 5

Add the tomato paste and stir well to coat the vegetables.

Step 6

Pour in the beef stock, then add the thyme, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients.

Step 7

Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 20 minutes.

Step 8

After 20 minutes, add the sliced beef liver to the pot. Stir well to combine. Cover and simmer for an additional 15 minutes until the liver is cooked through and tender.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaves from the stew before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with your choice of bread or crusty rolls.
