What it is
Tender beef heart slowly simmered in a rich, savory broth. Often prepared simply with basic aromatics, allowing the robust flavor and texture of the heart to be the star. Served with its cooking liquid.

Beef heart, water, onions, garlic, ginger, salt, black pepper, bay leaf (optional), cooking oil.
Optional tweaks
None needed. Ensure no high-carb vegetables like potatoes or carrots are added to the broth for thickening.
Watch out for
Possible inclusion of root vegetables (e.g., carrots, potatoes) for flavor/bulk; over-reliance on tomatoes/onions in broth could increase carbs.
