What to add to the liver to make it soft and not bitter: an original idea

It often happens that when you cook liver, it turns out to be dense, dry, and bitter. But this can be avoided if you know some culinary life hacks. For example, the liver can be pre-marinated with spices and starch, and then cooked in a sauce. Marinating will prevent the liver from becoming hard, and the sauce will add a spicy flavor and remove excess bitterness.
