Clean the calf liver under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Slice the liver into even pieces, about 1 inch thick.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add sliced onions and garlic; sauté until softened, about 4-5 minutes.

Increase heat to medium-high and add the liver slices; cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.

Season the liver with salt, black pepper, and bay leaves during cooking.

Add white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits, and simmer for 2 minutes.

Stir in butter and lemon juice, cooking for an additional minute.

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley.

Serve hot alongside fresh or toasted bread.
