Let's Cook

Step 1.

Prepare for cooking as directed above: 1 beef or 4 veal hearts
Step 2.

Cut 1 ½ to 2 pounds of the trimmed meat into ½-inch-wide strips (the strips do not have to be of uniform length). Mix in a large bowl: ½ cup red wine vinegar; ¼ cup olive oil; 2 tablespoons ground red chiles, such as ají panca, ancho, or chiles de árbol, or a combination; 4 garlic cloves, minced; 1 tablespoon ground cumin; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; 1 teaspoon black pepper; 1 teaspoon salt; (½ teaspoon ground annatto seeds)
Step 3.

Add the heart strips and marinate for 3 hours and up to overnight.
Step 4.

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water to cover for 1 hour before you cook the heart. Prepare a hot grill fire. Thread the meat onto the skewers and grill for 3 to 4 minutes, turning once. Do not cook beyond medium-rare. Serve at once, garnished with: A salsa or Habanero-Citrus Hot Sauce
