Prepare the Liver: Rinse the liver slices under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings such as dried thyme or paprika.
Dredge in Flour: Dredge the liver slices in flour, shaking off any excess.
Caramelize the Onions: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Remove the caramelized onions from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Liver: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and olive oil. Once hot, add the dredged liver slices and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.
Serve: Serve the cooked liver alongside the caramelized onions. Enjoy your Delicious Liver and Onions hot!
