BEEF HEART
It eats like steak, not like offal.
A muscle, not an organ — and the cheapest good beef on the farm.
MUSCLE

ACROSS THE GRAIN
What makes it different
Why it does not taste like liver
A heart is a working muscle. It has none of the minerally flavor people associate with organ meat, and cooked properly it is closer to a lean sirloin than to anything else in the case.
The trim
There is silverskin and some hard fat on the outside, and connective tissue inside the chambers. Cut all of it away — it will not soften with cooking.
The one rule
Do not overcook it. It is very lean, so past medium-rare it turns tough and stays that way. Fast and hot, or several hours in a braise. Nothing in between works.
In most of the world this is not an unusual thing to eat. Anticuchos, the Peruvian street food, are skewers of grilled beef heart, and they are the best argument for this cut anyone has made.
FROM THE FARM
Our cattle are pasture-raised here in Monticello, Kentucky and processed at a USDA-inspected plant. We raise them, we have them cut, and we pack what comes back ourselves.
How to cook it
1
Trim the silverskin, the hard fat and the tough parts inside. Cut what is left into flat slabs about an inch thick.
2
Marinate a few hours if you like. Cumin, garlic, vinegar and chili is the classic pairing and it suits the cut.
3
Very hot grill or pan, two minutes a side. Pull at 130 to 135°F and no further.
4
Rest five minutes, then slice thin across the grain. If it came out chewy, it was cooked too long — that is the only way to get this wrong.
What you're getting
One beef heart, or a portion of one.
Trim it before cooking — silverskin and hard fat do not soften.
From cattle raised on our farm in Monticello, Kentucky, processed at a USDA-inspected plant.
Weights are averages. Every package is cut by hand, so no two are exactly alike.
