Slice 2 medium onions and add them to the frying pan to sweat down and caramelize.

Peel red potatoes using a knife and rinse them.

Place the rinsed potatoes in a pot and cover with water to boil.

Cook the potatoes until they are tender, about 15 minutes after boiling starts.

In a separate plate, add 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper; mix well.

Prepare the beef liver by dredging it in the seasoned flour mixture.

Cook the liver in the frying pan for about 3 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes on the second side until just cooked through.

Remove the liver from the pan to avoid overcooking.

Use the caramelized onions to make gravy, using a brown gravy mix.
