This nutrient-dense recipe for breaded beef heart is a delicious way to easily prepare organ meats that your family will enjoy.
The benefits of organ meats were considered sacred in Traditional Societies due to the vibrant health they bestowed upon those who consumed them.
Couples trying to conceive, pregnant women, young children, and the elderly were given priority access to these extraordinary foods due to their incredible nutrient density.
In keeping with the wisdom of our ancestors, these specialty meats should be a regular feature on your family’s menu.
Bonus! They are some of the most inexpensive meat cuts you can buy!
If you only serve organ meats occasionally or not at all, it is an absolute must to take high-vitamin cod liver oil (suggested brand) or desiccated raw liver (capsules or powder) on a daily basis.
For those that have local availability of organs from pastured animals, it is quite easy to prepare them deliciously. This is especially true of heart, which is quite mild in comparison to liver.
Whatever you do, don’t throw these cuts away. At the very least, use it to prepare raw pet food.

@Antonia Heart is much easier to eat than liver .. at least to me đŸ™‚
I hope I like it cuz I have to choke down liver.
We eat beef heart all the time. Anticuchos. My 4 year old asks for it for breakfast. DELICIOUS!
I am going to have to try this with venison heart.
I have both a beef heart and a bison heart in the freezer – one of them will be part of this great recipe. Thanks!
We love to make Beef Bourgignon with beef heart! I don’t know if the GAPS diet has just totally changed the way I taste food, but I thought the heart worked wonderfully. After cooking all day in the beef stock and wine, it became tender and delicious. I nearly cried when we ate the last of the left overs! It will most definitely be a regular here in our home!
Just tell him straight out what it is and add that you’ll make his favorite dessert if he eats it.
Or tell him it’s good for him and to “Suck it up buttercup!” đŸ™‚
That sounds delicious! I actually have grass fed beef heart and coconut flour in my freezer waiting on a recipe and lard in my fridge. Hmmm, now to trick my husband into eating it without letting him know what it is. . . initially. Any suggestions?
