-
In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients for the marinade: corn oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, cumin, garlic granules, chili powder, smoked paprika powder, and a pinch of salt.
-
Carefully trim the beef heart. Remove membranes and white parts with a sharp knife.
-
Cut the meat into cubes of maximum 2 cm.
-
Add the meat to the marinade and mix well.
-
Let the meat marinate for at least 12 hours in the fridge, preferably overnight.
-
Soak the wooden skewers in water so they won’t burn on the Kamado.
-
For the Aji Verde, briefly blend all the ingredients into a smooth sauce. Leave small coriander pieces for texture.
-
Keep the sauce in the fridge until ready to use.
-
Light a medium amount of charcoal and heat your YAKINIKU® Kamado to 240 °C. For this recipe, use direct heat. Then place the cast iron grate in your Kamado.
Cook time
-
Thread the marinated beef heart cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers.
-
Grill the skewers briefly and intensely until nicely colored on all sides. The meat should still be pink inside, not well done.
-
Remove the skewers from the Kamado and serve immediately with the chilled Aji Verde as a dip.
