🛒 Ingredients

Tap ingredients to tick them off as you shop or cook ✔️

• 600g beef heart (or rump), in 3cm cubes
• 3 tbsp ají panca paste
• 4 cloves garlic, crushed
• 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp oregano
• oil, salt, pepper

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Trim the heart of any sinew and fat. It is lean, cheap and tastes like very good steak, so do not be squeamish.
2. Mix the marinade and turn the meat through it. Leave at least 4 hrs, overnight is better.
3. Thread onto skewers, 3–4 pieces each, pushed close together.
4. Grill over the fiercest heat you can manage, 2 min a side. Any longer and it turns to rubber.
5. Baste with leftover marinade as they cook — it chars into a dark crust.
6. Serve with boiled potato and green ají sauce. Street food, eaten off the skewer.
