Beef liver is best when it is sliced thin, cooked quickly, and paired with sweet onions. A short soak helps soften the flavor while keeping the recipe simple and wholesome.

Ingredients

• 1 lb beef liver, sliced thin
• Milk, buttermilk, or salted water for soaking
• 2 Tbsp olive oil, avocado oil, or beef tallow
• 2 onions, thinly sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• Sea salt and black pepper
• Optional: apple cider vinegar or lemon juice

Directions

1. Soak liver 30 to 60 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
2. Cook onions in oil or tallow over medium heat until soft and lightly browned.
3. Add garlic for 30 seconds, then move onions to the side of the pan.
4. Sear liver 1 to 2 minutes per side, just until cooked through.
5. Season and finish with a splash of vinegar or lemon if desired.
