Sauteed calf's liver with red wine vinegar is a classic French dish that is both delicious and easy to prepare. The liver is first seared in butter until it is browned on the outside and pink in the center. It is then deglazed with red wine vinegar and simmered until the sauce is reduced and flavorful. The liver is then served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.

Steps:
- Place liver in a nonreactive (ceramic or glass) bowl and pour milk over. Refrigerate, covered, 5 to 6 hours.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. When butter is shimmering, add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring more frequently until onions are very soft and brown, 30 to 40 minutes more.
- Drain liver and discard milk. Pat liver dry with paper towels.
- Spread flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Thoroughly coat liver with the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Heat a large (13-inch) saute pan over medium heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the oil and heat until shimmering. Cook (in batches, if necessary, to avoid crowding pan) until liver is firm (but not hard) and browned on the outside but still slightly pink in the center, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining liver, adding more oil to the pan as necessary. Add sage and cook for 1 minute more.
- Divide liver among plates and top with onions.
CALF'S LIVER WITH BACON AND ONIONS
The mashed sweet potatoes with sage butter are a great side dish for calf's liver. We recommend asking the butcher for the freshest calf's liver available, since it can vary in quality. Soaking the liver in milk, a method typically used for pork liver, helps soften and mellow its flavor.

- lightly flour liver, salt& pepper to taste, saute 3 minutes per side, don't overcook.
- remove and deglaze pan w/balsamic vinegar, add all ingredients back to pan to blend flavors.
Tips:
- Choose the right liver: Look for a calf's liver that is fresh, firm, and has a deep red color. Avoid any liver that is slimy or has a greenish tinge.
- Soak the liver in milk: This helps to remove any impurities and mellows the flavor of the liver.
- Slice the liver thinly: This will help it to cook evenly.
- Season the liver well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to season the liver before cooking.
- Cook the liver over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the liver and prevent it from becoming dry.
- Do not overcook the liver: The liver is a delicate organ and can easily become tough if it is overcooked. Cook it for just a few minutes per side, or until it is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Serve the liver immediately: Liver is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to keep it warm, place it in a covered dish in a warm oven.

Sautéed calf's liver is a delicious and nutritious dish that can be prepared in just a few minutes.
