OMG for my class field trip we stayed at school ( great idea NOT) a scientist came in and showed us how to cut a cows heart!!!

I just had beef heart yesterday for the 1st time im my life. I coated it in flour with some salt and pepper, and put it in a pan with vegatable oit, garlit and thyme. It's very good, but at the same time reminds me of chicken/turkey heart. It tastes like concentrated dark meat from a chicken or turkey, and has that same "bouncy" kind of chewyness to it. I love it.

@ChemicalMikeUK No, it was fine. It was absolutely delicious, we pan-fried some with garlic and red wine until it was cooked rare, Hubby and i argued over who got the last piece, the rest we stewed. The trimmings were used for a stock and then given to our pets after ebing strained out and the fat was rendered down for storage, we'll use it to cook with. Great value for the £3 and absolutely delicious.

great video! i usually cut it up across the heart into inch thick slices, and leave some of the fat in the pan to cook into the meat. then salt and pepper! its almost as good as a proper steak!! if you closed your eyes you probably couldnt tell the difference! and its way cheaper too! :D

@PepperPhoenix how did it turn out after being frozen? did it go tough or anything like that?

[PepperPhoenix]

Technically heart is actually a muscle, making it no different ot a standard cut of beef...[/pedantry] We have a beef heart in the deep freeze right now, it's the size of my head! It cost us £3, i'm looking forward to eating it, beef heart is supposed to taste just like the best cuts of steak and be more tender than any of them. Mmm.

@anaheimdennis you have NO idea about good food do you? you eat meat right? so you consume the blood of the animal which has flowed through the heart. You have NO idea just how divine heart tastes, it is probably NICER to me than a steak! it's better for your body as it is 99% pure muscle, meaning you eat less fat. When you stuff heart and cook it nice and slow, you turn an 'organ' into what can be served on a gormet plate. Please try it, it's cheap, and easy to cook, just give it a go.

Heart is amazingly tasty, I would say nicer than liver or kidneys because it doesn't have that classic 'organ' taste, as much as I love my liver & bacon! This piece of meat is SO badly treated and SO forgotten about it is unreal. We live in a time when people are pinching pennies and STEALING meat because they claim not to be able to afford it. Well HELLO, heart only costs £1 for TWO lambs hearts in my local tesco, go try it, and you will NEVER look back. Google can provide cooking tips too!
