Method

Mix the marinade

Whisk together the aji panca paste, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, cumin, oil, salt and pepper in a bowl.

Marinate the beef heart

Toss the beef heart cubes in the marinade until well coated, then cover and refrigerate for at least two hours.

Overnight in the fridge gives the deepest flavor if you have the time.

120 min

Thread the skewers

Thread the marinated beef heart cubes onto the wooden skewers, leaving the reserved marinade for basting.

Grill the skewers

Grill the skewers over hot charcoal or a very hot grill pan, turning every couple of minutes, for about eight minutes total until charred outside and still pink inside.

Beef heart is lean and turns tough if overcooked — pull it while the center is still rosy.

8 min

Baste and finish

Brush the skewers with the reserved marinade during the last two minutes of grilling for a glossy, charred crust.

2 min

Rest briefly and serve

Let the skewers rest for two minutes off the heat, then serve hot with grilled potato and choclo.
