Scrape the onions out of the skillet into a small bowl.
Put the strips of liver on a plate, sprinkle them with salt, pepper and flour, and toss them with both hands until all of the strips are coated with flour.
Shake off the excess flour.
Using the same skillet, heat the remaining butter and oil until very hot.
