Beef Liver Steaks with Onion Rings (Guisadong Atay ng Baka)
This beef liver steaks is a very simple dish, marinating the liver in soy sauce and calamansi then fry it. Marinating the livers reduce the musky odor so it will be more pleasant to eat. This is the reason why not everyone is so fond of eating livers specially the kids because it also have a slightly bitter taste. White onion give a mild sweet taste and reduce the livers bitter taste. I prefer to use white onions than red when cooking this dish. Anyway you can add a little sugar if you want if there are no white onions available.
To cook this dish; Marinate liver slices in soy sauce, salt, MSG and calamansi juice for at least half an hour. Saute onions for 4 to 5 minutes in medium fire then transfer to a serving dish. Drain the liver and save the marinade for later use. Then on the skillet where you sauteed the onions, fry the liver on both sides until brown but don’t overcook so it won’t become too tough. Then transfer the liver on the serving dish where you put the onions and put the onions on top. Then pour the marinade in the skillet and simmer for a few minutes. Season with salt and pepper then pour over liver and onions. To see the rest of the recipe with the exact measurement of ingredients, continue reading.

How much msg do you put? A dash of it? I want to remove msg. What do I need to add in order to replace it?
Hi Marc, you can omit the MSG or use patis(fish sauce) instead, about 1/2 teaspoon.
A little bit of sugar instead of MSG will do. But there’s nothing to worry about MSG, According to the recent study, MSG doesn’t have any health issues to the human body.
Hi Litz, yes you are right there is no proven scientific studies regarding MSG that is bad for the health. Maybe in excess its bad like the ordinary table salt. Too much salt can cause health issues too.
