Equipment

  • Large skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef liver
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 tablespoons butter divided
  • 1 yellow onion thinly sliced
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 ½ cup beef broth
  • 2 teaspoons Worchestershire sauce
  • 1 sprig fresh sage

Instructions

  • Soak liver in milk for 30+ minutes. This will remove any bitter taste from the liver.
  • While the slices of liver soak, add two tablespoons of butter to a large skillet set over medium heat and add the sliced onions. Saute until the onions turn golden brown and become tender. Then remove the onions and set aside.
  • While the onions cook, mix together the flour, salt, and black pepper, then dredge the raw liver in it, ensuring each piece is fully coated. The milk can be discarded.
  • Add the remaining two tablespoons of butter to the skillet along with the liver and cook until the flour becomes golden brown.
  • Slowly whisk in beef broth and Worchestershire sauce, add the fresh sage and return the onions to the skillet. Bring the liquid to a simmer and cook until it thickens. Add additional salt and pepper to taste and serve.
