Steps

1. 1

   For an appetizer presentation, slice the liver into pieces measuring 1 1/2 inches in size. However, if you plan to serve it as a main dish, keep the liver slices whole.

2. 2

   In a pan, heat a combination of butter and oil over medium heat. Quickly sauté the liver for about a minute, seasoning with salt and pepper, and flipping the pieces until they are lightly browned on the outside but still pink inside. Once done, take the liver out of the pan and set it aside.

3. 3

   If desired, incorporate crushed garlic and mint into the pan until their aroma is released. Introduce the vinegar by stirring it in gently. Reintroduce the liver to the pan and sauté for an additional 30 seconds, ensuring to flip the pieces during cooking. The liver should maintain a slight pink hue inside when done.
