Heart

Goat heart is dense muscular organ meat—lean, deep red, and clean-tasting when trimmed. It can be grilled as thin steaks or braised as cubes; texture sits between steak and firm offal. Valued in nose-to-tail cooking and many traditional cuisines. Trim valves and silverskin first. High heat short time for slices; moist heat for stews. Season assertively. Chill for neat cutting.
