Beef heart stew has a rich history dating back to ancient civilizations, where the heart was considered a prized cut. In South America, it's a traditional dish known as "anticuchos" and is often grilled on skewers. In the Andes, it's a staple known as "uchukuta." Renowned chefs like Gastón Acurio have popularized this dish, infusing it with modern flavors. The heart's unique texture and robust flavor make it a standout ingredient. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in traditional Peruvian restaurants, where the stew is simmered with aromatic spices and served with a side of fluffy quinoa. Getting the seasoning and cooking time just right is crucial for a perfect beef heart stew.
