Isn't heart kind fo dry and tough?

[survivalpodcasting]

@PowerForGood

Not at all. It isn't tough at all. And in short if it is dry you cooked it to long. I mean it ain't tender as a choice fillet but I would call it like the texture of a good sirloin or perhaps a flat part of the brisket.  It is dense muscle but not tough.

People tend to think of heart as an "organ meat" and while it is an organ it isn't anything like a liver or kidney. The heart is simply a muscle, just like the muscle that makes up sirloin or rib eye or pot roast.

@survivalpodcasting Does it have to be cooked all the way through or it can it be a little bloody like a rare steak?

[survivalpodcasting]

@therealdealyo316 - The heart is just a muscle like any steak or roast, it has no special rules. It is lean though so you actually want to be careful you don't over cook it.

That said I like my meat red, but not bloody. The only difference is if you cut meat when it is hot you get bloody.  Let it rest for 10 minutes after you take it off the heat and you get pink or red but not blood and juices flowing out.

looks good.. almost like deer heart.

@hinckleypoland Except it is a LOT bigger, the taste though isn't that much different.

You should look up a recipe for "anticucho." It is a Peruvian dish and it is right up your alley: grilled heart. My wife, an all American white girl raised in FL, hated to even think that cow heart could be eaten. So while in Peru, I took her to a very nice restaurant and ordered "antichucho." She not only loved it... she ordered a second portion. She did not know it was cow heart at that time, but could care less after I told her b/c she loved it. Look it up, you won't be sorry.

I'd like to see a video on how to prepare it before it's cooked.

Haven't tried beef heart but I love deer heart it reminds me of roast beef if cooked right. You have very informative videos.

I read about this stuff as a kid (camp mags) but of course my Mom wouldn't cook it. A place in Atlanta serves chicken heart tacos (awesome!), and I've done some beef tongue (good), kidney, & tripe (like my dad did in milk) but not heart. My dad ate all this stuff growing up — "didn't waste a squeal of a pig". How'd you trim that heart?

Jack - really interested in a recipe for this. I've cooked deer heart below, and really enjoyed it
