Absolute Best Liver and Onions

Ingredients

• 2 pounds sliced beef liver
• 1.5 cups milk , or as needed
• 0.25 cups butter , divided
• 2 large Vidalia onions , sliced into rings
• 2 cups all-purpose flour , or as needed
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients.

2. 2

   Gently rinse liver slices under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place in a shallow dish; pour in enough milk to cover. Let stand while preparing onions, or set aside for longer if you have time. Soaking will remove any bitterness.

3. 3

   Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion rings; cook and stir in butter until tender and soft, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer onions into a bowl and set the skillet aside.

4. 4

   Place flour on a plate; season with salt and pepper. Drain milk from liver and coat liver slices in flour mixture.

5. 5

   Melt remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet; increase heat to medium-high and fry coated liver slices until lightly browned, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.

6. 6

   Return onions to the skillet and reduce heat to medium; continue to cook until onions are heated through and liver is slightly pink inside, or longer to suit your taste.

7. 7

   Serve and enjoy!
