Vegetable broth can reduce calories without sacrificing flavor.

Chop 1 onion and set aside.

In a frying pan, add butter and sauté the onions until they begin to wilt and get some color, about a few minutes.

Remove the onions from the pan and set aside in a bowl.

Slice the beef liver into smaller pieces, not too thin and not too thick, about 1 inch thick.

Season a small amount of flour with salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.

Coat the liver pieces in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess flour and setting them aside.

Add beef broth to a measuring cup and mix in some flour until smooth.

Heat oil in the frying pan for about 2 minutes until hot.

Add the liver pieces to the hot oil and fry for about 1 minute on each side until browned.

Add the sautéed onions back to the pan, along with the slurry of beef broth and flour, and some additional beef broth.

Let the mixture simmer until the gravy thickens, adding about a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce for flavor.

Plate the liver and gravy, serving it with white rice.
