Anticuchos (Grilled Beef Heart Skewers)

Ingredients

• 1 lb Beef Heart
• 2 tbsp Aji Panca Paste
• 2 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1 tsp Oregano
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black Pepper
• 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
• 2 medium Potatoes

Instructions

1. 1Cut the 1 lb of Beef Heart into 1-inch bite-sized pieces.
2. 2In a medium bowl, combine the 2 tbsp Aji Panca Paste, 2 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar, 3 cloves of minced Garlic, 1 tsp Cumin, 1 tsp Oregano, 1 tsp Salt, 0.5 tsp Black Pepper, and 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil. Whisk everything together until it forms a smooth marinade.
3. 3Add the 1 lb of Beef Heart pieces to the marinade. Toss well to ensure every piece is coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
4. 4While the beef heart is marinating, prepare the potatoes. Peel and cut the 2 medium Potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Place the potato chunks in a pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and set aside.
5. 5Preheat your grill to medium heat, about 350°F (175°C). Thread the marinated beef heart pieces onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece.
6. 6Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the beef heart is cooked through and slightly charred. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
7. 7Remove the anticuchos from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving. Serve hot with the prepared boiled potatoes.
