Grass Fed Beef Heart Stew - Slow Cooker Method
A ridiculously delicious and economical meal.
Ingredients
- 1 beef heart Grassfed 2.5-3lbs, cubed
- 1 white sweet potato Approx 13oz, cubed
- 2 carrots Medium size, cut into coins
- 2 plum tomatoes medium-large
- 4 celery stalks chopped
- 1 tsp sea salt Adjust to your taste
- 1 tsp black pepper fresh ground - or use more
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tsp parsley dried - it's what I had!
Instructions
- Trim the beef heart - removing excess fat (you can save it and cook with it - waste not want not!) but leave some in as it creates a nice richness. Remove the extra membranes and silverskin on the meat before cubing it and placing in the slow cooker.
- On top of the meat, add salt, fresh black pepper, bay leaves, and dried parsley. I chose to make this first stew as simply spiced as possible, but it would also be very good with other traditional herbs added. Considering how well this turned out, I will be exploring all kinds of flavor options.
- Cube the vegetables and add to the top of the meat. Add in water, cover and cook 8 hours on low or 5-6 hours on high. If going for the low setting, if it cooks a little longer than 8 hours that's usually ok too as long as there's enough water. Enjoy!
- Make ahead and reheat too - I don't use microwaves, but this reheats well on the stovetop.
