I have received a lot of questions about how to butcher a beef heart. I recently made a video to answer these questions. After the break you will find a recipe for beef heart tartare.

    Mmmm, this video is just the inspiration I need to tackle the hearts of bison, beef, lamb, and goat I have in the freezer. I had planned to grind them to mix with bison meatloaf, but this looks much better!

    I’ll have to find a foccacia substitute, though, as I don’t eat wheat anymore. Perhaps lettuce wraps, cabbage leaves, or endive scoops.

    This recipe sounds very good… I’ll have to try it.

    Beautiful. Thanks for the instructions on the butchering. I have been eying the lamb hearts available at a local sheep farm store, but had no idea what to do with them. This will definitely help. Please keep the videos comming. I find that the actual cleaning of the organs is a real stumbling block, and there are so few resources available.

    A very useful video – I am a big heart fan, and I am always asked how to break one down, so I will have them come here for that.

    As for the tartare, I riffed off yours with wild duck hearts the other day and it came out fantastically! Thanks for the inspiration.

    THANKS! I am slowly learning the wonders of offal and got a heart when I ordered my beef for the freezer. I had no idea how to prepare it, the book I have doesn’t really have good instruction and this video is exactly what I was hoping to find. Fantastic!

    If you toss it in the freezer for about twenty minutes you can just remove the silver skin in one or two easy pieces.

    Man that knife slides right through the meat! Where can I get one of those? My knives are terrible….

    Thanks for the video!I was buying beef heart already cut up (wow do I appreciate that effort now) and just picked up some whole heart at the farmers market. Thanks for the detailed video on trimming and butchering. I think my dog will be very happy with some of those scraps:)
