Making beef heart in the handy crock pot for tomorrows dinner.. cleaned the thing, cut out all the tough bits and fed 2 of our three cats a nice share of raw beef heart trimmings.. the other one didn't have any interest.
I also took a few scraps for myself and quick seared it and nibbled on it- just to see what it tasted like as the recipes I had went either towards the high & fast & rare, or the cook the snot out of it till it's tender. I didn't mind the taste or texture, but overall, I think I'll prefer it stewed with plenty of onions & garlic.
We bought a 1/4 beef.. and I asked for as much of the organ meats as I could get.. so I have a few more bits which any suggestions on how to prepare (recipe wise) would be appreciated, lest I go to the all-knowing google like I normally do, and riff off what I find there..
I have: tongue, brain, multiple packs of liver (made some before- from another persons share. I like liver in small doses, so always looking for new ways to make it) and I also have a pack of oxtail from elsewhere.. and some bones..
I am very curious about cooking the brain, figured I'd ease into it with the heart first though.
