Cooking Beef Heart In Oven Food

OVEN-BAKED BEEF STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Coat bottom with 3 tablespoons oil; add steak and cook, turning as needed, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer steak to a 3-quart baking dish.
• Add remaining oil to the frying pan. Saute onion, mushrooms, and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; add red wine, tomato paste, flour, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Blend in beef broth until well combined. Pour mixture over beef. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until beef is tender, about 1 hour. Gently stir in sour cream and serve.

STUFFED BAKED HEART

Steps:

• Tie the heart with string.
• Place it on a rack in an oven proof dish.
• Place in bottom of the dish the stock or diluted tomato soup.
• Place over the heart the bacon strips.
• Cover the dish closely and bake the heart in a moderate oven 325°F until tender, sometimes if beef, a matter of 3-5 hours, if veal about 2 hours.
• Remove heart to a plate and cool it slightly.
• Heat, then fill the cavity with 1 1/2 cups bread dressing or rice dressing.
• Sprinkle the heart with paprika.
• Return it briefly to hot oven 400°F or place it under a broiler to reheat.
• The drippings may be thickened with flour to make gravy.

BRAISED BEEF HEART

Steps:

• Trim any fat off the heart. Use a pair of kitchen scissors to cut off any large pieces of the connective tissue around the top of the meat.
• Roll into a roast form and tie with string.
• Brown in the oil on all sides.
• Put in a dutch oven and add the onion, cut into about 8 pieces, and all the other ingredients, except the bread crumbs.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 4 hours, turning every hour.
• After 2 hours, add the bread crumbs.
• When done, remove heart and use an immersion blender or regular blender to smooth the gravy. If desired, you can thicken the gravy some more with a water and flour mixture, bringing it to the boil.
• Slice the heart lengthwise into 1/4" slices.
