beef heart

Butcher's organ meat

Beef heart is the heart of a cow, prepared as food.

It's a dense, lean muscle with a rich, beefy flavor—less tender than typical cuts but prized in cuisines worldwide for its depth of taste.

Often braised, grilled, or sliced thin for anticuchos: The butcher had fresh beef heart for the Peruvian dish.
