Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef heart
  • 1 medium red onion
  • 1 medium bell pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak 4 wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, trim the beef heart and cut into 1-inch cubes; cut the onion and bell pepper into 1-inch pieces.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, toss the beef heart cubes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. In another bowl, toss the onion and bell pepper with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.

  3. 3

    Thread the beef heart, onion, and bell pepper onto the skewers, alternating pieces. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef heart is browned on the outside but still slightly pink inside and the vegetables are charred at the edges.

  5. 5

    Remove from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
