How to Cook Japanese Beef Liver (Step-by-Step)
Step #1:
Cut the beef liver into 2-inch pieces with a sharp knife. Soak these pieces in water for about 20 minutes. This process will clean the liver thoroughly. After that, take out the liver pieces and rinse them under running water. Pat dry the liver pieces with the help of a paper towel and set them aside.
Step #2:
Prepare the marinade for the beef liver. In a small bowl, take sake, soy sauce, oyster sauce, crushed ginger, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix them all together with the help of a spatula.
Step #3:
Marinate the liver pieces in the mixture for at least half-hour. Wrap the marinade bowl with a plastic cover.
Step #4:
Take out the marinated liver pieces out of the bowl and lightly dust them with potato starch. Please avoid coating them in potato starch. You only need to dust liver pieces a bit.
Step #5:
Heat peanut oil in a non-stick pan and lightly saute the garlic chives. When they start changing color, add in the marinated beef pieces. Cook for at least 12–14 minutes while changing directions.
Step #6:
Add in the rest of the marinade and cook for another five minutes over medium-low heat.
Step #7:
Switch off the flame and dish out the cooked beef liver. Serve with crunchy vegetables.
