How to Make Betty Crocker Liver With Piquant Sauce

  1. **Prepare the Liver:** Cut the beef liver into 1/2-inch thick serving pieces.
  2. **Coat the Liver:** Place flour, garlic salt, paprika, and pepper in a large plastic bag. Add the liver pieces and shake until evenly coated.
  3. **Brown the Liver:** Melt shortening in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the liver and brown quickly on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Remove the liver from the skillet and set aside on a warm plate.
  4. **Make the Piquant Sauce:** In the same skillet, cook the sliced onion in the remaining shortening until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
  5. **Thicken the Sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together the water, cornstarch, and soy sauce until smooth.
  6. **Combine and Simmer:** Pour the cornstarch mixture into the skillet with the onions. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and boils.
  7. **Finish the Dish:** Reduce heat to low, add the browned liver to the sauce, and heat through for about 1-2 minutes, ensuring the liver is heated thoroughly. Serve immediately.
