This liver and onions recipe will turn liver haters into converts! It's very simple to make but the three things that will set your liver above all others are: 1) soak in milk, 2) turn the liver as little as possible when cooking, and 3) don't overcook.

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!
