About Bovine heart

Bovine heart is the edible heart muscle of cattle. It is a dense, lean organ meat with a deep red colour when raw and a firm, compact texture. Its flavour is strongly savoury and meat-like; trimming away connective tissue and surface fat affects the final edible portion.

It is sold whole or cut into steaks, strips, or cubes, and may be fresh or frozen. It can be cooked by methods suited to either quick-cooking slices or longer-cooked pieces, depending on the cut and preparation. This entry refers to plain cattle heart, not a prepared product or heart from another animal.
