Beef Heart Stew has a rich history dating back to ancient times, with variations found in cultures around the world. The addition of red wine adds a depth of flavor and complexity to this hearty dish. In France, renowned chefs like Julia Child have popularized the use of red wine in beef stews, elevating the traditional recipe. In Argentina, beef heart stew, known as "guiso de corazón," is a beloved comfort food, often simmered with red wine for a robust flavor.
