Score it and toss into a ziplock over night with apple cider vinegar, onions, cilantro and garlic. Get your skillet really hot with a bit of olive oil and fry. Don't over cook the inside, should be med rare. Pretty dang good.
Anything acidic will get rid of most of that strong gamy flavor.
And we all know Rusty Nails are to be put over ice and sipped, not eaten!
I'd heard of the Rusty Nail, but never knew what it was, so I looked it up. Drambuie and Scotch. Sounds pretty dreaded to me. In fact, it sounds like a perfect drink to accompany a meal of liver.
Used to eat at a diner that did the best fried chicken livers with onion rings- crispy hot fresh and not greasy. Lots of ketchup. I still think about those meals.

Wow, no wonder people don't like liver. Soaking? Boiling? No.
Take calves liver and coat lightly with flour, salt and pepper. Coat a big fry pan with 1/4" bacon fat or oil. Over medium high heat, fry until golden brown on both sides, but still barely pink in the center. Keep warm in the oven, and serve with caramelized onions, and mashed potatoes.
I saw a suggestion about soaking in milk, so I tried it a few times ago. The texture was awful. It was a gummy unpleasant texture.

I drank a bunch of them. Once. I don't remember much past that.
I looked at images on google and I think they are gizzards, such an unappealing name for something actually very tasty.
Oh yeah. I cook gizzards low-and-slow on my BBQ pit, and they turn-out very tender and flavorful.
I also like chicken livers, but I'm not too fond of beef liver.
