🥗Healthier: pork shoulder

Pork shoulder is leaner and chicken thighs are more budget-friendly.

1

Remove all fat from the beef heart, including any veins and arteries.

2

Soak the beef heart in cold water with 3 tablespoons of salt for about 2 hours to draw out the blood.

Check the water after 2 hours; if it's very bloody, add more salt and soak overnight.

4

After soaking overnight, cut the beef heart into cubes, removing any remaining veins or tough pieces.

5

Prepare the marinade using 1/2 cup of oil and 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar, adding black pepper and 6 cloves of garlic.

6

Blend the garlic and mix it into the marinade.

7

Place the cubed beef heart in a resealable bag with the marinade, ensuring it's evenly coated.
