  1. Start by slicing the beef liver into thin pieces for even cooking.

  3. Dip each slice of liver into the flour mixture until they are well-coated.

  2. Add the floured liver to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are browned and cooked through.
  3. In the same skillet, add sliced onions and cook until they are golden and caramelized.
Serving

Notes

Choose fresh liver for the best taste. Avoid overcooking to keep the liver tender. Feel free to experiment with additional seasonings to enhance flavor.
