Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Heart

    Clean the beef heart by removing any excess fat and connective tissue. Cut it into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef Heart

    Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned beef heart pieces and cook for about 10-12 minutes until browned and cooked through. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Peruvian Potatoes

    While the beef heart is cooking, peel and cut the Peruvian potatoes into wedges. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  4. 4

    Make the Aji Verde Sauce

    In a blender, combine aji amarillo peppers, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    On a plate, arrange the cooked beef heart and potato wedges. Drizzle with aji verde sauce and garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
