   • Begin by slicing the calf liver into thin slices.
   • Peel and slice the onion thinly.
   • Lay out the bacon slices on paper towels to drain excess grease.

2. Cook Bacon:

   • In a large frying pan over medium heat, fry the bacon until it’s crisp and golden brown.
   • Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

3. Saute Onions:

   • In the same pan with the remaining bacon fat, add the sliced onions.
   • Saute the onions until they turn golden brown and become tender.
   • Once done, remove the onions from the pan and set them aside.

4. Prepare Liver:

   • Lightly dust each slice of calf liver with flour.
   • Season both sides of the liver slices with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.

5. Saute Liver:

   • Increase the heat to medium-high.
   • Carefully place the seasoned liver slices into the hot pan.
   • Saute the liver for about 3 minutes on each side until it’s browned and cooked through. Ensure not to overcook the liver, as it can become tough.

6. Deglaze Pan:

   • Once the liver is cooked, remove it from the pan and set it aside.
   • Pour a splash of balsamic vinegar into the pan to deglaze it, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
   • Allow the vinegar to simmer for a moment to reduce slightly and intensify its flavor.

7. Combine Ingredients:

   • Return the cooked bacon and sauteed onions back into the pan with the deglazed vinegar.
   • Gently toss the ingredients together to blend the flavors.
   • Let the mixture simmer for a minute or two to allow the flavors to meld.

8. Serve:

   • Plate the sauteed calves liver alongside your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
   • Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, for a pop of color and added flavor.
