Ingredients
For the Beef Heart:
- 1 lb beef heart trimmed and cleaned
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika optional
- 1 tsp dried thyme
Optional Marinade:
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp honey optional
Instructions
Prepare the Beef Heart:
- o Trim any excess fat or connective tissue from the beef heart. Slice it into thin steaks or bite-sized pieces for faster cooking.
- o Season the pieces with salt, pepper, garlic, and smoked paprika. For extra flavor, marinate in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat Cooking Surface:
- o Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the Beef Heart:
- o For grilling or pan-frying, cook each side of the beef heart for 2-3 minutes until seared and cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Rest and Slice:
- o Allow the beef heart to rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly. Resting helps retain juices for a tender texture.
Serve:
- o Plate the sliced beef heart with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
