Beef heart shashlik is a classic Uzbek offal dish made by marinating cubed beef heart for an extended time in a vinegar and onion mixture, then grilling it on skewers over an outdoor grill. The long marinade noticeably tenderizes the heart’s fibrous texture.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the Heart

10 min

Trim the beef heart and cut it into cubes.

2

Prepare the Marinade

5 min

Thinly slice the onion into half-moons and mix it with the vinegar, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

3

Marinate

60 min

Marinate the heart cubes in the onion mixture in the refrigerator for at least 60 minutes.

4

Thread onto Skewers

5 min

Thread the marinated heart cubes onto skewers.

5

Grill

15 min

Grill the skewers over hot coals for 15 minutes, turning them occasionally until browned on all sides.

Reminder

Marinate the heart for at least 60 minutes; a shorter marinade can leave the meat tough. Turn the skewers frequently while grilling, or the outside may burn while the inside remains raw.
