Beef Liver with Bacon and Caramelized Onions

Ingredients

• Beef liver

  Variety meats and by-products, raw

  16 oz or 454g

• Onions

  Raw

  3 medium or 330g

• Trader Joe's Uncured Applewood Smoked Bacon

  4 servings or 60g

• Pure Irish Butter

  Kerrygold

  5 Tbsp or 70g

Directions

1. Add milk to a shallow bowl. Soak liver in the milk for about 20 minutes to remove any bitterness.
2. Meanwhile, cook your bacon in a large skillet. Drain on paper towels and cut into ½" chunks. Set aside.
3. Reserve 1½ tablespoons of bacon grease and add 2 tablespoons of the butter to the bacon grease in the same skillet. Add onions and cook over a medium heat stirring occasionally until caramelized, about 25 minutes. Remove onions to a dish, sprinkle with salt and set aside.
4. Pat liver dry and discard the milk. Return skillet to high heat and add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter to the pan. When the butter foam subsides, the butter is hot enough. Arrange the liver in the pan being certain not to crowd the pan. Sauté for 3 minutes regulating the heat so that the butter remains hot, but does not burn. Turn liver over and sauté about 2 minutes more.
5. Serve liver topped with onion and bacon.
