Beef Heart Bruschetta

Something different for the pregame snacks. Beef heart is an underused meat. My Dad used to cook it to death which is why I never used it as a young adult. Now I don’t have a freezer full of heart but if I see it at the farmers market I will get it. The key is cooking rare to medium rare at the most. Then cut against the grain for a tender bite. I paired it with bruschetta, Parmesan cheese and a French baguette simple and tasty I hope you like it.

1 baguette cut in 1/2” cut on the bias
1 16 ounce container bruschetta
4 ounces Parmesan
8 ounces beef hearts veins removed fat trimmed
1 tablespoon Greek seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter

Sprinkle salt, pepper and Greek seasoning on lamb.

Heat a skillet to medium add butter and oil. Let butter melt.

Cook 5 minutes on each side.

Let rest for 5 minutes.

Toast baguette slices.

Add bruschetta to bread.

Top with Parmesan cheese.

Slice heart against the grain. Cut thin.

Top with heart.

    Growing up on a farm, we always tried to make use of the entire animal. My dad made it for game days.

    1. Very cool. My Dad was a hunter and a butcher I have few limits on what I won’t eat. Brains, pancreas and road kill come to mind

  2. Your bruschetta looks delicious! The idea of eating beef heart is new to us, will ask our local French Triperie
