Steps:
- Gently rinse liver slices under cold water, and place in a medium bowl. Pour in enough milk to cover. Let stand while preparing onions. (I like to soak up to an hour or two - whatever you have time for.) This step is SO important in taking the bitter taste of the liver out.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Separate onion rings, and saute them in butter until soft. Remove onions, and melt remaining butter in the skillet. Season the flour with salt and pepper, and put it in a shallow dish or on a plate. Drain milk from liver, and coat slices in the flour mixture.
- When the butter has melted, turn the heat up to medium-high, and place the coated liver slices in the pan. Cook until nice and brown on the bottom. Turn, and cook on the other side until browned. Add onions, and reduce heat to medium. Cook a bit longer to taste. Our family prefers the liver to just barely retain a pinkness on the inside when you cut to check. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right liver: Look for a liver that is deep red or reddish-brown in color, with a smooth, shiny surface. Avoid any liver that is pale, spotty, or has an unpleasant odor.
- Soak the liver in milk: This will help to remove any bitterness from the liver and make it more tender. Soak the liver in milk for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Slice the liver thinly: This will help it to cook evenly. Slice the liver against the grain, into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Season the liver well: Season the liver with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the liver.
- Cook the liver over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the liver and keep it from becoming dry. Cook the liver for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
- Serve the liver immediately: Liver is best served immediately after it is cooked. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
Conclusion:
Beef liver and onions with white wine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The liver is tender and flavorful, and the onions and white wine add a rich and savory flavor. This dish is sure to please even the most discerning palate.
