Ingredients
FOR THE LIVER AND ONIONS:
Beef or Calf Liver: Sliced into medium-thick pieces
Large Onions: Thinly sliced into rings
Milk: Enough for soaking the liver to remove bitterness
All-Purpose Flour: For dredging
Butter and Cooking Oil: For sautéing and frying
Salt and Black Pepper: To taste
FOR THE SIMPLE GRAVY:
Beef Broth: For the base of the sauce
Remaining flour: Leftover from coating the liver
FOR THE SIDES:
Mashed Potatoes: Prepared with boiled potatoes, butter, milk, salt, and pepper

Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Liver
Rinse the liver slices gently under cold water and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
Place the liver in a shallow dish and pour the milk over it. Let it soak for a short while. This step removes any harsh, metallic taste and ensures the liver stays tender.
Remove the liver from the milk and pat it dry once more. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
