This is a 100% recycled meal: mixing and matching leftovers to create something new. This is also application of my kitchen principle that a soup can be a stew can be a soup.
Beef heart is imo the best quality muscle meat of the entire animal. In preparation of cooking beef heart, I always cut away all the edges of fat and connective tissue, because those become very chewy. Rather than discarding all those little strips, I stew them. With long enough cooking time they become really tender.
I used these ones as a starter for this leftovers-day creation.
Yesterday's Tomato Soup with Chayote & Seafood had a nice seafood overtone. The beef heart adds to that its own distinctive flavor. Both flavors noticeably alternate very pleasantly throughout the meal. That is definitely something worth doing again.
See: Beef Heart Trimmings to make this without the seafood or seafood stock.
