Anticuchos Breakfast Skewers
A breakfast twist on classic Peruvian street food! Hearty beef heart skewers marinated in a flavorful aji panca sauce, perfect for a protein-packed start to the day.
Ingredients
- about 450 g Beef Heart
- 2 tablespoons Aji Panca Paste
- 2 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
- about 450 g Potatoes
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Trim any excess fat from the about 450 g of Beef Heart and slice it into thin, 0.635 cm thick strips. In a bowl, combine the beef heart strips with the 2 tablespoons of Aji Panca Paste, 2 tablespoons of Red Wine Vinegar, 3 cloves of minced Garlic, 1 teaspoon of Cumin, 1 teaspoon of Oregano, 0.5 teaspoon of Salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of Pepper. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure the beef heart is well-coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
- 2While the beef heart is marinating, cut the about 450 g of Potatoes into small, 1.27 cm cubes.
- 3Once the beef heart has finished marinating, thread the marinated beef heart strips onto skewers. Alternate the beef heart strips with the potato cubes, placing a potato cube after every few pieces of beef heart. Aim to fill the skewers without overcrowding them.
- 4Heat 2 tablespoons of Vegetable Oil in a large, 30.48 cm skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers, which is approximately 175°C.
- 5Carefully place the prepared skewers into the hot skillet. Cook the skewers for 5-7 minutes per side. You are looking for the beef heart to be cooked through, with a slightly firm texture, and the potatoes to be tender and lightly browned. The total cooking time will be approximately 10-15 minutes.
- 6Remove the skewers from the skillet and serve them hot.
