Calories: 380kcal
Ingredients
- 1 beef heart cleaned and trimmed of any fat or gristle
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1/8 cup of brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of fine sea salt
- 2 teaspoons of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon each of pepper oregano, thyme, and dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a cast iron skillet to prevent sticking.
- To prepare the beef heart, trim off any excess fat or gristle, and pat dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, sea salt, garlic powder, pepper, oregano, thyme, and parsley to make the rub. Set aside.
- Brush the beef heart generously with the olive oil to coat it evenly.
- Apply the rub all over the beef heart, making sure to coat both sides evenly. You will only need about half of the rub.
- Place the beef heart in the greased cast iron skillet, preferably with the shiny side up.
- Bake the beef heart uncovered in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer.
- Once the heart reaches your desired level of doneness, remove it from the oven and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Store the extra dry rub in an airtight container.
- The USDA recommends beef heart to be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F.
- Allow leftovers to cool before storing the heart in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
