4 – 5 slices Bacon – make sure there is a good amount of fat on each slice
1 large Sweet Onion – sliced*
1/2tsp salt
Seasoned Flour for dredging**
1 hand sized Beef Liver slice per person
1c. Milk to soak the liver (optional)
1/4c Red Wine
1c Beef Stock
1/4c Four mixed with enough water to make a slurry
If desired soak the liver in the milk to remove some of the strong flavour
Fry the bacon on medium high heat until the fat has rendered and it is crisp
Remove the bacon from the pan and place on paper towel to drain
Pour off some of the fat from the pan and reserve for later
Reduce the heat to low and add the sliced onion to the pan
Sprinkle the salt over the onion and allow to cook until deep golden brown stirring occasionally – this could take 1 hour!
Remove the onions to a plate
Add the reserved bacon fat to the pan and increase the heat to medium high
Scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan
Dredge the liver slices in the seasoned flour and lay them in the pan
Fry until browned, about 1minute then turn and brown the other side, 1 - 2 minutes
When the juices start to come to the surface remove the liver from the pan, place it on a plate and cover with foil
Reduce the heat and deglaze the pan with the wine
Add the stock and bring to a simmer and whisk in the slurry
Cook until thickened
Taste for seasoning
Add salt and pepper to taste
Serve with mashed potatoes and a green vegetable
*Onions will shrink down a lot so don't be afraid to use a lot!
**1/2c All-purpose flour mixed with 1/4tsp salt and a pinch of pepper

As a young wife my wonderful (late) Mother in law taught me a lot about cooking. She made the best liver and onions with gravy and her homemade yeast rolls were to die for. She called me over every time because nobody but the 2 of us ate liver. I miss her so much.

I love liver with onions and bell peppers: So good!

Just sauteed onion in butter with a bit of salt and butter for 40 minutes or so . Remove onion and add more butter. Get pan screaming hot and add Calves liver with more butter. Lightly floured with salt and pepper. One minute per side for the liver. Done! No bacon no milk soak.. And it must be calves liver.

I Love Liver and Onions with Bacon. I grew up with it and Dad cooked it Perfect. left overs went into the fridge and I had a snack for later. Yes People COLD. also chicken liver, chicken hearts and beef heart. All Awesome..

Great. Finally a recipe that doesn't soak the liver in milk
-
Another liver to try is calf liver. We would make it with a sweet sour sauce( agrodolce in Italian). Mom would also treat the calf liver slice like a veal cutlet: dust with flour, dip in egg, finish in Italian cheese breadcrumb mixture( Progresso Italian style breadcrumbs). There are some hacks on carmelizing onions faster , like adding water and steaming.

Wow it's very delicious ❤new subscriber 👍

A word to the wise , if you have gout problems you want to stay away from liver .
-
Be sure to use Calves liver if available. Liver labeled beef liver will be very tough.

We like all those organ meats and like in Europe we consume them in delish ways. We use liver, kidneys, heart, tripe, gizards, and sweet breads, also known as brains! In the USA they are not really appreciated which makes them a little difficult to find but we manage.

Most all of us are right-handedits the lefty's that are usually forced by their parents to use the right hand.You don't have to be sorry for cutting with the right hand,I am a righty 😁

When you take the liver out of the package do you wash it before you flour it and put it in the skillet if you did I missed that ? Please let me know . Is this the same as baby beef liver ? This looks really good I will be trying this recipe. Thank you very much for sharing.

Another way to prepare liver is to add it into a iron skillet 🍳 with sautéed onions 🌰 and diced fresh garlic 🧄 and salt 🧂 and black pepper, use olive 🫒 oil and place it under a hot 🔥 flame in the broiler and flip it to the other side and remember not to overcook it 😉 liver is a good source of iron and minerals and vitamins ; I love it 😀 😉!!
