BRAISED BEEF HEART
This is by request. Remember beef heart is NOT organ meat. It is the purest cut of muscle, just like your steaks, except there is very little fat, no gristle and it doesn't have a definite grain, which means it is tender no matter which way you cut it. The gravy is to die for, it is so flavourful.

Steps:
- Trim any fat off the heart. Use a pair of kitchen scissors to cut off any large pieces of the connective tissue around the top of the meat.

- Brown in the oil on all sides.
- Put in a dutch oven and add the onion, cut into about 8 pieces, and all the other ingredients, except the bread crumbs.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 4 hours, turning every hour.
- After 2 hours, add the bread crumbs.
- When done, remove heart and use an immersion blender or regular blender to smooth the gravy. If desired, you can thicken the gravy some more with a water and flour mixture, bringing it to the boil.

BEEF BRAISED IN RED WINE
Steps:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 325°F.
- Heat oil in pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking.
- Meanwhile, pat meat dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Brown meat in hot oil on all sides, about 10 minutes total. (If bottom of pot begins to scorch, lower heat to moderate.) Transfer to a plate using a fork and tongs.
- Add pancetta to oil in pot and sauté over moderately high heat, stirring frequently, until browned and fat is rendered, about 3 minutes. Add onion, carrot, and celery and sauté, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened and golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Add garlic, thyme, and rosemary and sauté, stirring, until garlic begins to soften and turn golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add wine and boil until liquid is reduced by about half, about 5 minutes. Add water and bring to a simmer, then return meat along with any juices accumulated on plate to pot. Cover pot with lid and transfer to oven. Braise until meat is very tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
- Transfer meat to a cutting board. Skim fat from surface of sauce and discard along with herb stems. Boil sauce until reduced by about one third, about 5 minutes, then season with salt. Cut meat across the grain into 1/2-inch-thick slices and return to sauce.
