👨🍳 Инструкции

Prepare the liver: Clean the liver of any membrane and cut it into 1-inch cubes. You can lightly toss the liver cubes in a tablespoon of flour seasoned with salt and pepper for a slightly crispier exterior, though this is optional.
💡 Профессиональные советы: Ensure the liver is fresh and free of tough membranes for the best texture. - 2
Sauté the onions: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. If using butter, add it in the last few minutes of sautéing the onions.

Cook the liver: Add the liver cubes to the skillet with the onions. Cook for about 3-5 minutes per side, until browned on the outside but still slightly pink inside. Avoid overcooking, as this will make the liver tough.
