Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. sliced beef liver
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 1 cup white flour
  • 1 tbsp seasoning salt
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 2 teaspoon kitchen bouquet
  • 1 1/2 cup water
  • salt and pepper
  • oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Place the flour and seasoning salt in a bowl and whisk to mix.
  • Pre-heat a large skillet on medium-high meat. Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.
  • Dredge the beef liver in the seasoned flour mixture and brown on each side for one minute. Remove the liver and all fatty bits and impurities from the skillet.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the skillet. Add 4 tablespoons of the flour mixture to the skillet and stir. Cook on medium heat until it starts to turn a dark golden brown.
  • Stir in the water and simmer until the gravy starts to thicken. Stir in the kitchen bouquet and more water if needed. Put the liver back into the skillet and top with the onion slices.
  • Simmer on low for 15-20 minutes or until the onions are tender.

Notes

Make sure the gravy is the right consistency before adding the liver. If it's too thin, let it cook down. If it's too thick, add a little more water. You can also cook the onions and gravy before adding the liver to the skillet. This method works well if you like your liver tender and on the medium-rare side. I personally like to cook my liver well.
