Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbs ghee
  • 1 1/2 lb beef heart
  • 1 sweet onion
  • 4 potatoes , gold
  • 1 apple
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Gather the ingredients. Wash potatoes, remove imperfections.
  • Wash the beef heart. Use a sharp knife to remove arteries and fat. Slice into 1-inch cubes. Slice into large chunks potatoes and apples, remove the core. Peel onion, dice small.
  • In a large dutch oven over medium-high heat, melt ghee. Add meat and let it sit for 2-3 minutes without stirring so the sides can brown. Stir a couple of times to let meat brown from all sides but don't completely cook through. Add onions, stir well.
  • Add water to the pot. Add apples, potatoes, salt, and vinegar. Once water slightly started to boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer on low for 1 1/2 hours (or more). Serve warm; the best flavor will be the following day.

Notes

  • The trick to making beef heart taste good is to either cook it fast or slow. This recipe is simmering it, so the longer you can cook, the better.
  • Slice meat into larger cubes to make sure the meat is tender at the end.
  • Choose hard sweet apple variety.
  • Taste at the end to ensure a perfect balance between salt and acid; add more if something is missing.
