Ingredients for Betty Crocker Liver With Piquant Sauce
- Beef Liver
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika

- 2 tablespoons shortening or butter
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup water

How to Make Betty Crocker Liver With Piquant Sauce
- **Prepare the Liver:** Cut the beef liver into 1/2-inch thick serving pieces.
- **Coat the Liver:** Place flour, garlic salt, paprika, and pepper in a large plastic bag. Add the liver pieces and shake until evenly coated.
- **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.
- **Make the Piquant Sauce:** In the same skillet, cook the sliced onion in the remaining shortening until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
- **Thicken the Sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together the water, cornstarch, and soy sauce until smooth.
- **Combine and Simmer:** Pour the cornstarch mixture into the skillet with the onions. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and boils.
- **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.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
