About Our Beef Heart
Beef heart is pure muscle - which is exactly why it eats more like a lean steak than like offal. It is firm, deeply beefy and very low in fat, and it is one of the cheapest sources of high-quality protein and iron we sell. Trimmed and sliced, it takes marinade well and is a favourite for skewers and mshikaki.
It works two ways and not in between. Sliced thin and cooked hot and fast, it is tender and pink like a steak; cubed and braised slowly, it turns soft in a stew. What ruins it is medium cooking, which leaves it tough. Marinate it, cook it decisively, and slice across the grain. If you enjoy this end of the counter, our liver and kidney sit in the same family.
How to Cook Beef Heart
- Trim the top fat and any tubes, then slice or cube.
- For grilling, marinate a few hours, then sear hard and keep it pink - do not overcook.
- For a stew, cube it and braise slowly until soft.
- Slice across the grain for the most tender bite.
- Excellent skewered for mshikaki-style grilling.

Yes, and at no extra charge - it is the whole point of buying from a butcher rather than a chiller cabinet. Tell us the thickness, trim, portion size or preparation you want in the notes when you order, or just describe what you are cooking and let us choose. We butcher whole carcasses at City Market, so the options are real.
