Relax! Beef heart is muscle meat, just like your favourite cut of steak. In fact, The taste and texture are far closer to steak than organs. Here’s an easy way to give it a try. The heart should already be cleaned when you get it from your butcher, but you’ll want to trim off any thicker fat. Don’t worry about the sliverskin. Much like flank steak, for it to be tender, you’ve got to cook heart either really slow or really fast. We’re going for really fast, so make sure that grill is cranked as high as it’ll go. Have fun!
