Actually easy to make. My favorite is from Cafe Degas and this appears to be close

Galatoire's used to have a liver and onions dish I believe.
Not sure if they still do unfortunately.

Put about 2 TBS of oil in a skillet and get it hot.

Season your your liver and dust with a little flower

Fry it about 1-2 minutes on each side, just to get it brown

Take it out

Add your onions and cook them down till they are brown

Add you liver back to the pot and cook it through

Serve over some hot rice

Depending on thickness, that's probably a little too long for liver.

You can eat liver that's not well done, I'm not.

I'm just not a fan of well-done/overcooked liver.
To each his own.

Venison liver with onions and a little brown gravy on grits is the first thing I cook after a successful hunt

The first thing I do is to caramelized sliced onions. Don't fry and don't brown, but saute them gently to a nice softly texture. They will have no onion bite but rather a sweet taste from the caramelization (spell check is red flagging that word...wtf?). They can be heated up again later.

Bacon, bacon, bacon, or Pancetta. Fry it until it's to your liking and remove it. Dust the liver in flour and give it just a minute or so depending on how hot the pan is. Top with bacon and onions. (I'm assuming you already know how to utilize oil and the temp on your stove)

My Mother overcooked virtually everything but she was adamant about leaving beef liver medium rare.

You can also sous vide them at 150 for an hour (thank you Thomas Keller). I don't even mess with any sort of sear because they're so thin and frankly, it's liver...they don't need a crust. I just pile on the bacon and onion.

Also, leftover liver, onions and your favorite BBQ sauce makes a great sandwich the next day!

One of my favorite things to eat. Clancy's is my favorite preparation, but I'll eat the hell out of it just about anytime I see it in a menu. Heck I eat it at Piccadilly a couple times a month. Love some Cafe Degas as well.

So apparently there's a liver-hater downvoting every post. Yeah, well you just keep eating your nouveau, almondine, bottled water city food and leave the good stuff like liver and onions for the real men.
