Beef Heart Stir Fry

Ingredients:

1 beef heart

1 red onion chopped

1 bundle green onion sliced

4 whole cloves garlic chopped

fresh ginger (1 tablespoon chopped for stir fry, 3 chunks for boil)

3 bell peppers sliced

1 stalk of lemongrass

2 Thai chili’s *for spice*

1/4 cup sherry wine

sea salt

black pepper

1/4 cup soy sauce

1 tablespoon fish sauce

1 cup water

vegetable oil

Butchering the heart can be scary at first but the main thing is to remove the hard fat, connective tissue, valves and the shiny skin. It will make it a whole lot easier to get over the fact it’s a heart.

How it looks cleaned up. Then I thinly sliced the meat.

Boil on medium heat with the lemongrass and 3 large chucks of ginger each about half the size of your thumb for 30 minutes. This is to tenderize it before you stir fry it. Once the time is up drain the meat and set it aside.

Set the eye to medium heat. In a wok, saute onions, ginger, garlic with salt and pepper in a little vegetable oil.

Add your remaining vegetables and toss.

I like my food spicy so I advise only using 2 peppers unless you are feeling frisky.

Lastly add the heart, soy sauce, fish sauce, water, sherry and more salt and pepper to taste. Toss so it can mix well. Then cover the wok and let it simmer for 7 mins.

Serve with rice.

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon beef paste

2 tablespoons flour

sea salt

black pepper

2 cups of water

Here’s the fish sauce I used. It contains no shellfish and is made from anchovies. So it’s clean. lol

This was my first time making this and boy I give a lot of respect to those take restaurants. It’s not as easy as it looks. On medium heat, cook the beef in a little vegetable oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Once it is cooked through drain and put in a large mixing bowl. Mix all the egg patty ingredients.

Set the stove on a little lower than medium. Use a 1 cup measuring cup to scoop out the mixture. Fry the side until golden brown in vegetable oil. Flip fry the other side and remove from the heat.

In a sauce pan on medium you will make the gravy. Combine all the gravy ingredients and as it is cooking constantly whisk until it thickens up. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve over rice with gravy.

Let your beef slightly unthaw. It’s easier to slice it thin that way. In a large wok on medium, saute onions, garlic, ginger, and peppers in vegetable oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper. Next add beef and and pour in orange sauce. Continue to toss. Sprinkle more salt, pepper and red pepper powder. Pour in water. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes. Then toss some more. Once the beef and vegetables are almost done finally add the tomatoes. Toss for a couple of minutes and make sure not to overcook them. They should still retain their form. Serve with rice.
