You will need:
Fresh/defrosted OX liver
4 tabs Mixed powder soups
1/2 cube beef stock
2 tbs Worcestershire Sauce
White pepper
Onion cut in julienne
3 tbs Cooking oil

What to do:
1. In a bowl dust the liver with the powder soup, add 2 tbs of Worcestershire sauce and soak liver for a few minutes, add white pepper.
2. Heat cooking oil in a pan, add onion with the beef cube, cook until onion is clear in colour
3. Add liver and fry for 2 minutes on  each side add the worcestershire sauce left in the bowl and cook for a further 3 minutes on medium heat.
4. Remove pan from heat, you liver is ready when it is still juicy and not dried up.
