For an even richer flavor, consider using a high-quality beef broth or homemade stock. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to your liking after the braising process. If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir into the braising liquid during the last 15 minutes of cooking. A bay leaf added during braising can also enhance the depth of flavor.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Heart: Rinse the beef heart under cold water. Carefully trim away any excess fat and tough arteries. Halve the heart lengthwise, then slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
02
StepDredge and Season: In a bowl, thoroughly combine the flour with salt and pepper. Dredge each slice of heart in the seasoned flour, ensuring an even coating. Shake off any excess. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
03
StepSear the Heart: In a large sauté pan or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the dredged heart slices in a single layer (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan). Sear for 30-45 seconds per side, until lightly browned. Remove the heart from the pan and set aside. (Cook time: 10 minutes)
04
StepSauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and carrots to the pan and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Then, add the potatoes and cook for 3-5 minutes. Stir in the dried thyme, allowing its fragrance to bloom. (Cook time: 15 minutes)
05
StepBraise the Heart: Return the seared heart to the pan with the vegetables. Pour in the beef broth and red wine, ensuring the heart is mostly submerged. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
06
StepSimmer to Perfection: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan tightly, and simmer for 1 hour, or until the heart is tender. Check the liquid level periodically, adding more broth or water if needed to keep the heart moist. (Cook time: 60 minutes)
07
StepServe: Serve hot, spooning the braising liquid and vegetables over the tender beef heart. Excellent with crusty bread or creamy mashed potatoes.
