Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the gizzards in a skillet with oil, flour, salt, and pepper.
- Place the browned gizzards in an 8x8 inch dish.
- Add chopped carrots, celery, onions, steak sauce, and mushrooms to the dish.
- Cover with water.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
- Lower the oven temperature to 250°F.

Tips & Substitutions
For optimal browning, ensure the skillet is hot before adding the gizzards. If you prefer a thicker sauce, consider adding a splash of red wine or a dash of Worcestershire sauce to enhance flavor. If you don't have gizzards, chicken thighs can be used as a substitute for a different, yet delicious, take on this dish. For a touch of sweetness, add a tablespoon of brown sugar to the cooking liquid.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the gizzards over a bed of fluffy rice or creamy mashed potatoes to soak up the savory sauce. Pair with a side of steamed green beans or a fresh garden salad for a balanced meal. This dish also pairs beautifully with Tolerinie if you're looking for a complementary flavor profile. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.

Leftover Beverly Hills Steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of meat instead of gizzards?
Yes, you can use chicken thighs or even beef chunks if you prefer. Just adjust the cooking time as necessary; beef may require a longer simmering time to become tender, while chicken cooks faster.
How can I make this dish spicier?
To add some heat, consider incorporating crushed red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños into the vegetable mixture. Alternatively, you could serve the dish with a spicy hot sauce on the side for those who enjoy a kick.
What can I do if my gizzards are tough after cooking?
If your gizzards are tough, it may be a sign they need more cooking time to break down the connective tissues. Continue to cook them at a low temperature, adding more liquid if necessary, until they are tender and easy to cut.
