Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Liver

    Rinse the beef liver under cold water, then pat it dry with paper towels. Slice the liver into thin pieces, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Season and Dredge

    In a shallow dish, mix the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the liver slices in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.

  3. 3

    Cook the Onions

    Peel and slice the onions into thin rings. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they are soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the Liver

    In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the liver slices in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches) and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Do not overcook, as liver can become tough.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Once the liver is cooked, return the caramelized onions to the skillet. Stir gently to combine and heat through. Serve immediately.
