Anticuchos de Corazón
Marinated beef heart skewers grilled over charcoal, brushed with aji panca sauce.
Why It Works
Beef heart is dense, lean muscle that takes on char beautifully without becoming tough when sliced thin across the grain; the vinegar marinade tenderizes while aji panca adds deep color and mild heat.
