Technique to learn

Quick Flash Searing

High-heat pan searing for thin cuts of meat to cook them thoroughly and quickly without drying out.

Instructions

Step 1: Place sliced beef liver in a bowl and toss with minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Let marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Step 2: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering.
Step 3: Add sliced green chiles to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4: Add marinated beef liver strips to the skillet in a single layer. Sear quickly without stirring for 2 minutes to get a good sear.

Step 5: Stir liver and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until just cooked through. Remove from heat, season with salt, squeeze over remaining lemon juice, and serve immediately.

Cooking tips

Slice liver thin while partially frozen for cleaner, easier cuts.
Avoid overcooking beef liver to maintain a tender, juicy texture.
