Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Trim the beef heart, removing any fat and connective tissue, then cut into bite-sized pieces.

In a bowl, combine garlic, cumin, paprika, red wine vinegar, vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Add the beef heart pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Thread the marinated beef heart pieces onto the soaked skewers.

Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked to desired doneness.

While grilling, boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Grill corn on the cob alongside the skewers until charred, about 10 minutes.

Remove the skewers from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serve the anticuchos with boiled potatoes, grilled corn, chopped parsley, lime wedges, and aji panca sauce.
