SMOTHERED BEEF LIVER

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onions until soft, but not browned. Remove from pan using a slotted spoon, and set aside. Slice the liver into serving size pieces, and remove any membrane.

Place reserved onions on top of liver pieces. Pour the tomato sauce and water over everything in the pan, lifting the liver pieces to let the tomato sauce coat the bottom of the pan.
• Sprinkle the oregano over everything, and simmer over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Be careful not to overcook, or liver will be tough. I serve this with mashed potatoes and green beans.

• Cook/SimmerRemove skillet lid and turn livers over and season with salt and pepper. Return lid and turn temperature down to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and continue cooking for about 30 minutes.
• GravyI make the gravy in 2 batches (I don't know why, I just do). Place 1 cup milk with 1/4 cup all-purpose flour in a large glass and whisk to combine until smooth. Add this mixture to the skillet.Make another batch of milk and flour whisking together until smooth and add to the skillet.At this time I slide the livers and onions to one side of the pan while stirring the gravy in the skillet and then slide them back over.If the gravy is too thick feel free to add more milk to get the consistency desired. Turn heat down and simmer. During this time make your side dishes like the mashed potatoes and spinach.

• Drain the excess bacon grease from the skillet. Place the reserved marinade and chicken stock in the skillet, over a medium high heat, and reduce by half. Pour this sauce over the liver and serve with the crisp bacon slices and pickled serranos or jalapenos on the side.
