beef or calf's heart

[English] plural beef or calves' hearts

Beef or calf's heart is a muscular organ and can be very tough. It is probably best to braise it, long and slow, to tenderise it, though there are also recipes in which, cut into thin slices or finger sized strips, it is fried or grilled (US: broiled). It is a very lean orga, so it might be as well to introduce some fat of some kind to the cooking process.
