This is not quite a classic beef stroganoff recipe, but we believe that for the sake of a delicious dinner, it is worth breaking a few rules. We added chicken liver to the recipe, which is known not only for its beneficial properties, but also for its delicate, slightly bitter, but pleasant taste.

How to cook Beef Stroganoff with Chicken Liver

Step 1

Cut the onion into thin strips. Salt and pepper the chopped liver and roll it in flour.

Step 2

Fry the liver, stirring, in a preheated frying pan over medium heat for 3 minutes with vegetable oil. Add butter, onion and fry everything together for about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Reduce heat to low and add sour cream. Simmer everything together, stirring, for 15 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water or broth.

Step 4

Remove the pan from the heat and leave the dish covered for 5 minutes. Serve the beef stroganoff hot with your favorite side dish.

Beef Stroganoff with Chicken Liver - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute chicken liver with another type of liver in this recipe?

Yes, you can use beef liver, duck liver, or even turkey liver as a substitute for chicken liver. Adjust cooking times slightly as different livers may vary in tenderness.

How can I make this recipe vegetarian-friendly?

Replace the liver with thickly sliced mushrooms (like portobello or cremini) and use vegetable broth instead of water. The umami flavor of mushrooms mimics the richness of liver.

What's the best way to store leftover beef stroganoff with chicken liver?

Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or broth to maintain creaminess.

Can I freeze this dish for later use?

Yes, freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on low heat, stirring occasionally. Note that the sour cream may separate slightly.

What are some good side dish options to serve with this stroganoff?

Traditional choices include egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice. For a low-carb option, try cauliflower mash or zucchini noodles. A crisp green salad balances the richness.

How can I make the sauce creamier without adding more sour cream?

Stir in a tablespoon of cream cheese or a splash of heavy cream at the end of cooking. Alternatively, blend a small portion of the cooked onions into the sauce for thickness.

My stroganoff tastes too 'livery.' How can I mellow the flavor?

Soak the liver in milk for 30 minutes before cooking, or add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard or Worcestershire sauce to the sauce to balance the flavor.

Can I prepare this dish in advance for a dinner party?

Yes, cook the dish fully except for the final 5-minute resting. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding liquid as needed, then let it rest before serving.
